Show Notes

In this introductory episode, we meet our newest coordinator, Maria Mariano and we talk about our relationship with clothes, our positionality as consumers and occasional-to-expert garment makers. We talk about the complications of expressing oneself as kids, teens and university students trying to explore gender when your parents still buy your clothes for you and we try to pinpoint which cartoon characters we consciously–or subconsciously–modeled our style after.
