The problem right now? Big businesses control the supply chain, making it really hard for small brands and designers to succeed. FABRIC is working to change that by building a fully circular supply chain here in the United States, powered by many, many small businesses.\nIn this episode, Amanda is joined by Angela Johnson, co-founder of FABRIC. This episode discusses the following:Angela’s experiences as a designer, both at the beginning of her career, and as she started her own brand.We’ll get a little nostalgic with some conversation about her time working at X-Girl, an iconic 90s brand founded by Kim Gordon (of Sonic Youth) and Daisy von Furth. And oh yeah, we’re also going to talk about Days of Our Lives.Angela will explain how everything she learned working in the garment industry in LA (along with her loyalty to her home state of Arizona) led her to create a fashion incubator in Tempe, Arizona.We will also hear more about the vision for the Eco Parc, a fully circular fashion manufacturing hub and what it will take to bring that to life.And we will round that all out by talking about how important it is to keep up this work, even on the days when it is really hard.Find FABRIC on IG:  @fabrictempe\nAnd HEY!
