How I really feel about fashion: The fashion industry needs to change. During the beginning stages of my career, I remember the most jarring thing I had to learn was how…mean the industry could be. A short list: exploitation of people and the planet, and parasitic excess. It casts a long shadow over what I thought was an industry empowering people and giving them an outlet to be themselves & feel good about themselves. I can’t count on my hands the times I’ve thought about leaving the industry — but I’d rather help change it. I have nearly 10 years of experience and a passion for the planet, people and injecting more compassion into everything I do — it would be a shame for all of that to go to waste. I know we can build a new foundation with good design, moderation, and mend/repair as some of the founding pillars of a new apparel industry. —> Bounce ideas with me
