In episode 118 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast I speak with Garik Himebaugh, Founder of Eco-Stylist, on the state of the sustainable fashion industry and creating a one-of-a-kind personal styling experience for conscious consumers.Listen to our first interview with Garik in episode #65 here.Who wants to wear clothes made with child labor and toxic chemicals? Not you. Not us. From organic cotton oxfords to zero waste hats and sunglasses made from recycled plastic bottles, everything at Eco-Stylist is eco-friendly, socially responsible, and ethically sourced.At Eco-Stylist all ethical and sustainable brands are first researched with Remake's sustainable brand criteria. This framework looks at the brand's impact on both people and the environment. Through this framework the company thoroughly researches all of the brands on the platform, measuring the brand's environmental and social impact. Finding sustainably and ethically made clothes can be hard work, Eco-Stylist makes it easy!We know it can be difficult to figure out if the clothes you're buying check all the right boxes. Do the materials used to make your shirt have a negative impact on the environment? Are the people who stitched together your jeans being paid fair wages? Does this even look good on me?But before you call it quits and opt to buy the $15 sweatshirt from the fast fashion retailer that you know isn't likely to be providing an acceptable workspace for their underpaid employees, know that we are doing the hard work of answering these questions for you. Using Remake's sustainable brand criteria, we take the time to thoroughly research brands before we choose to partner with them. This criterion takes into consideration a number of factors, including transparency, environmental sustainability, maker well-being, use of sustainable raw materials, and the leadership of the brand within the ethical fashion sphere. If a brand passes, we partner with them and promote their products on our website.Eco-Stylist is convenient, ethical, and tailored to you. They host a Sustainable Brands Directory for everyone, curate stylish and sustainable clothing in an easy-to-use marketplace, and offer virtual + sustainable personal styling.Listen to more Causeartist podcasts here.Check out:Partner with us - Learn moreImpactInvestor.io - Discover impact investors from around the world.Podcast Made with TransistorPodcast cover design Made with CanvaBuild amazing web platforms with Webflow
Sustainable fashion. Ethical fashion. Fast fashion. These are terms we've all heard before; these are things I've even discussed on the show before! But, for some reason this tends to be a female-dominated conversation. Well, that stops here! For today's episode, I got to interview a leading entrepreneur in the sustainable men's wear industry - Garik Himebaugh, founder of Eco-Stylist. To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: www.heartfelthippie.com Garik would not have described himself as a fashionable person in years past. He actually claims that he used to attempt to hide in his own clothes. How many of us can relate to that?! However, he eventually recognized that his clothing choices could be a way for him to express himself. Combine this with a passion for doing good in the world and Eco-Stylist was eventually born. Garik now runs this amazing site that provides resources for men to find sustainable and ethical fashion and even does personal styling for the fashionably-challenged. He believes that finding brands you can trust who do good for the planet and its inhabitants should not be a hard thing. Even though his platform focuses on men's wear, I've personally benefited from all of the resources he provides on many occasions! He has dozens of blog posts that answer so many questions you might be wondering - like, what can I do with clothes and shoes I don't want anymore? Or, is Everlane really a sustainable brand, or are they practicing greenwashing? So much good stuff! On Part 1 of this interview, Garik and I discuss his journey with Eco-Stylist and why he felt the need to start this company. AKA - what is up with fast fashion? Even if this is a topic you've heard about before, let's keep the conversation going! It's important to remind ourselves why supporting fast fashion is so incredibly harmful. It's also important to know what our alternatives are! Garik and I will talk more about that in Part 2, but he does offer some great tips today. For instance, did you know that two thirds of your fashion footprint comes after you've purchased your clothing and brought it home? That's right, I'm talking about the impact our laundry has! Garik is going to shed light on things like this and remind us why the environmental and humanitarian impact of fashion is something we can't stop talking about.

"My longterm vision for Eco-Stylist is really to put myself out of business. I really want to get to a point where every brand is sustainable and ethical, where we can trust all brands…I think it would be amazing if there wasn’t a need for this [an ethical and sustainable marketplace].” Garik Himebaugh Meet Garik Himebaugh, the founder of Eco-Stylist, an online marketplace for ethically and sustainably made men’s clothing. His mission? To help men look dapper while simultaneously supporting sustainable and ethical brands. Or as he puts it, to encourage men to “dress like they give a damn!” In this episode we chat about: - How his relationship with his brother led him to pursue a degree in conflict resolution. - What inspired him to launch Eco-Stylist. - His passion for entrepreneurship and fashion. - How his chance encounter with Peter Sacco, the co-founder of Adelante Shoe Company inspired him to promote ethical and sustainable brands. - His biggest entrepreneurial challenge. - Challenges of conscious consumerism. - Why he decided to partner with Remake and the importance of brand transparency. - And so much more! This was a great conversation so without further ado, let’s get started. Connect with Eco-Stylist: Instagram Facebook Pinterest
This episode is for the guys. When it comes to fashion and style, what's your perspective? Do you have a personal style, or do you go through the motions each morning. Additionally, what do you think of ethical fashion? Do you think it only applies to women, or does it resonate with you. Let's be honest, in the ethical fashion realm, the voices are primarily female. On today's episode, we'll hear from one of the men on the frontlines in the ethical fashion industry. Garik Himebaugh is the Chief Stylist and founder at Eco-Stylist. He joins us to help you revamp your style while shopping with a purpose. Things You Don't Want To Miss: 3:09 - The Garik 101 Eco-Stylist is a marketplace for ethically and sustainably-made men's clothes. Garik shares how his journey into this space began with his first foray into men's fashion. Garik's girlfriend suggested he wasn't well-dressed, and he began to see that fashion enabled him to represent his best self. His dream was to be an entrepreneur. Specifically, he wanted to be a social entrepreneur. Garik moved to Iowa three years ago, and he planned to open a business at the same time. During this time, a summer in Boston sparked his passion for ethical fashion. 8:20 - A Background In Conflict Resolution Garik studied Conflict Analysis & Resolution at George Mason University. His major started on a whim, but soon it turned into an eagerness to turn his degree into a career. However, Garik explains the difficulty of finding a competitive job in D.C. Garik took a job in finance, but he never forgot his dream to pursue peace studies and social justice. In business school, Garik read the stories of companies like TOMS Shoes and Warby Parker. He decided he wanted to leverage his degree to first start a business and later pursue social entrepreneurialism. 13:26 - Why Not Start Today? So many people desire to make change, yet they're hindered by the phrase, "When I get to X place in life, I'll be able to do Y." They feel they need to take care of themselves before they can begin to make a difference for others. In reality, it might be possible for you to jump in and start doing what you want to do NOW. You can do anything with purpose. Garik explains how his work as a stylist gives him a platform to advocate for those in need. 18:36 - A Misconception Of Generosity There's this misconception that wealthy people are the most generous. Not to take away from the work of the wealthy, but the middle class is exceptionally generous. Everyday people give their time, money, and talents to fight for change. 22:20 - Speaking The Language Of Men Not to generalize, but most men aren't that into fashion. Garik shares his journey into fashion and he developed his own personal style. So many voices in the men's fashion space are part of what Garik refers to as "bro culture." Garik wanted to find his own voice in the space. He wanted to be genuine. 29:38 - Little Changes Lead To Large Impacts Diversity is important in the ethical fashion space. However, Garik explains not all views are necessarily healthy. Sometimes, voices in the ethical space can be hostile, but we need to be united as we advocate for change. It's difficult to go all-in in the ethical space. It's important to recognize what steps you can take to become more socially conscious without beating yourself up over what you can't do. There's nothing wrong with shopping, but it's important to be conscious as you shop. Don't be an impulse buyer. Consider what you're supporting with your purchases. Lots of little changes by lots of people can be hugely impactful. The issues can feel overwhelming, and change doesn't happen overnight. Advocate for small changes. 34:50 - Bridging The Gap For Men Garik explains his process for getting guys into fashion. For most men, the jump into fashion isn't a natural one. Eco-Stylist has an online shop, and they also have a styling service that helps you to find a wardrobe to match your personality. Eco-Stylist can even suggest specific ethically-sourced items and help you know where to find them. Getting To Know Our Guest: 40:17 - Garik shares with us how he'd survive in an elevator, his favorite tv shows as a child, and a challenge for us to try rock climbing. A Memorable Moment: "Lots of little changes by lots of people can be hugely impactful." - Garik Himebaugh To visit the Business With Purpose website, click the link: https://www.stillbeingmolly.com/2019/05/29/business-purpose-podcast-garik-himebaugh-eco-stylist/
