Tuesday, March 26, 2024 • Duration 37:16

💰 WE DISCUSSED:

Taboos/misconceptions about making money in the slow fashion space,
What alternative business models and revenue streams can be successful for slow fashion brands who don’t want to follow the traditional fast fashion trajectory,
Slow fashion pricing and forecasting,
How freelancers can go about finding clients, retaining clients, and creating a client rotation that allows for financial sustainability,
How to diversify your slow fashion skills and develop alternative streams of income/business offerings,
And SO MUCH more!

93) What If Fashion Put Workers First?

Season 5

Tuesday, July 25, 2023 • Duration 24:46

What if fashion brands put garment workers first? What if a fashion brand set the prices they pay to their suppliers based on ensuring workers were making a living wage, rather than negotiating the prices as low as possible to maximize profits?

This is part of implementing more responsible purchasing practices — purchasing practices meaning not how the consumer buys something, but how the brand purchases their orders from their suppliers, since most brands do not produce their own clothes.

The reality is that right now the system is set up with the wrong incentives. For example, Buyers at many fashion brands receive bonuses if they achieve larger margins with their orders they purchase from their suppliers — larger margins meaning they pay their suppliers less, and thus the supplier will have less money to pay their workers fairly or invest in sustainability initiatives like transitioning to clean energy.

So we need a paradigm shift. True systems change.

And one proposal for doing so is worker-centric pricing, which Stella and I are going to dive into in this episode!

05) Common Sustainable Fashion Myths BUSTED!

Season 1

Tuesday, May 25, 2021 • Duration 27:49

From "sustainable fashion is expensive" to "sweatshop jobs are better than no jobs", I'm busting some of the MOST common sustainable fashion myths in this episode.

Sustainable fashion is a journey involving unlearning, learning and perspective shifting.

This episode is certainly not about saying that I know it all — I believed many of these myths and even promoted a couple of them before — and I'm sure there will be more myths that I'll unlearn on my journey.

That said, these are some of the misconceptions that I've seen throughout these years in the conscious fashion space that I wanted to clear up!

Have another myth to add to this list? DM me on Instagram.
