Show Notes

In episode 2, Maria being a sustainable fashion ingenue, is the perfect person for Paige to enlist with her fast fashion problem. Then, Paige recaps the documentary Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts (2008) (featuring a young Stacey Dooley?!) and Maria draws comparisons between to Nazma Atker’s recent interview on the Wardrobe Crisis podcast. Spoiler alert: the working conditions for garment workers have not changed much in 13 years! We compare our styles to the cartoon characters of our youth (which three cartoons inspire your ‘fit?) and we waffle between minimalist wardrobes and carefully curated pieces–which method is the most sustainable when Fashion is Life.
