Slow fashion is not a trend. It's a way of life. A community of passionate, creative people. A movement fighting for a better future.
In this episode, Amanda is joined by artist and slow fashion superstar, Mikaela Friedman (Mutiny Market, Shop Slow, Psychic Outlaw).
We talk about a lot of things in this episode:
- Shop Slow, a new slow fashion boutique in Austin, TX that focuses on artisanal clothing made by collective of makers with a focus on recycled textiles. Check out the Shop Slow website here: shopslow.co
- Why shopping small/local keeps the money within the community versus far away with a shareholder,
- How we take the slow fashion movement out into the world outside of social media,
- How we can make the slow fashion movement stronger and more inclusive.
Also, in this episode: Amanda talks about the state of the slow fashion movement and the challenges we face as a community. And yes, we'll talk about "that Remake thing."
