Have you ever wondered about the environmental footprint of your closet? Why is it that we are so concerned with avoiding pesticides and single-use plastics in our food but not our clothing? Is fast fashion worse for the planet than fast food? To answer these thorny questions and more, clothing expert Taryn Hipwell founded “Beyond the Label,” a nonprofit focused on consumer education and advocating for a more sustainable fashion industry. Her groundbreaking “What’s in my tee?” program showed consumers the ingredients that went into t-shirts so they could learn how to avoid pesticides, heavy metals, and unhealthy dyes in the fabrics they wear every day. In our eye-opening chat, we cover how fast fashion’s reliance on polyester and throw-away culture is virtually identical to the world of single-use plastics and why we should all think more about the health impacts of what we wear. We then explore the end of life for clothing and dig into why only a fraction of the clothes we donate get sold, while the majority of them get shipped to Africa. Taryn also shares a helpful guide to being “fabric literate” and learning to decipher which fabrics and chemicals you should try to avoid and seek out when you’re shopping. This episode is the education about clothing everyone should have really learned in school and will make you re-think your closet and personal style for the better!

Sica Schmitz is the Founder and CEO of Bead & Reel, an ethical fashion blog and online boutique. After spending a decade in the fashion industry, Sica was tired of struggling to find clothing and accessories that met her ethical values. She launched Bead & Reel to provide an easy shopping space where like-minded brands and consumers could gather. In this episode, Sica admits to trying out multiple selling models in the early days. As Bead & Reel began to grow, so did her expertise in ethical fashion, sustainability, and veganism and Sica found herself a following of consumers interested in education, awareness, and activism. Sica lays out all the nuances of sustainable and ethical terminology. She gives us guidelines to decipher whether big brands are using those terms as a marketing ploy or not.

Sica Schmitz is the founder of Bead & Reel, a one-stop shop for activist fashion. It is based on the belief that fashion and ethics aren't mutually exclusive, focusing on eco-friendly, cruelty-free, sweatshop-free styles. Everything they sell meets the criteria of being thoughtful to animals, people, and the world through their carefully curated selection of hand-picked designers and products. I love talking with people who’s passion is about helping others and the world around them. To be honest, it’s most people. When we think about what really makes us passionate and happy, most of the time it has something to do with impacting others positively in a big or small way. Sica is someone who’s passion is very directly related to this. She felt as though she had to do something to try and put an end to the way we manufacture, sell, and use clothing or other things related to fashion. So she just did it.     Find Sica Online: Website - https://www.beadandreel.com/ Facebook - @beadandreel Instagram - @beadandreel Twitter - @beadandreel   Some Questions I Ask: What was your first impression of the fashion industry?
