Episode 238: Five Years of Clotheshorse
In honor of five years of Clotheshorse, Amanda brings back the very first episode of the show (mandatory listening for any one interested in slow fashion), "Romper Drama and Useless Safety Pins, or It's a Cents Game."
Before jumping into that episode, Amanda talks about what has changed over the last five years. She explains why and how Clotheshorse has given her hope and joy in dark times. And she also gives a little minisode on tariffs (and why they won't "fix" fast fashion).
