Jenny is back to discuss the challenges of working with salvaged fabrics. We will also follow the path of our unwanted clothes through the Goodwill system. And an extra special report on how you may be donating your old clothes to an international cult!
Show Notes
Hey! Jenny is back to finish our conversation. We will talk about the challenges of working with salvaged fabrics and why we *should* pay more for our clothing. Let us tell you what we think about the capsule wardrobe. Spoiler: it can be jazzy and pizzazzy!. We will also follow our donated clothes through the Goodwill system.
Also! We travel through time to 1985 so we can hear all about why the costume designer for Dynasty is a big time polyester fan. Finally some Hollywood content for all you Us Weekly fans!
Lastly--and this one is a doozie--a special report from Amanda about how your donated clothing may be funding an international cult!
Did you know that 10% of American workers work in retail? Yet they are often overlooked when we talk about worker’s rights and “bringing back the jobs.” We are working on an upcoming series of episodes about retail workers, their struggles, and their fight for fair wages and better conditions. If you have worked retail--and probably a lot of you have--we would like to hear your stories! Basically, collecting your stories will help us frame out what we need to research and discuss. You can either send your stories via email to clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com or via instagram where you’ll find us @clotheshorsepodcast. If writing isn’t your thing (or the story is too complicated to type out) you can also send us a voice memo recorded on your phone or computer.
Don't forget to check out our sister podcast, The Department, which Amanda co-hosts with Kim. We talk about trends of all sorts, from fashion to social to food. And everything in between!
