Show Notes

Is the answer in new textiles, localisation of garment making or something different? First, Paige presents a fashion industry retrospective as she sees it as a consumer and then Maria and their longtime friend and colleague Nadia Bunyan correct her! They lay down a REAL timeline that isn’t inspired by not being allowed to watch The Hills or the one time Paige went to fashion day camp and watched The Devil Wears Prada for the first time. Then, we shift our focus domestically to shed light on what it really means to have your clothes Made in Canada, garments workers in the carceral system, Carcel Clothing company and greenwashing in the sustainable  fashion industry. What is the solution… we still do not know. We establish a fashion industry timeline to try and figure out when exactly we lost the plot, luvs.
