Life comes at you fast: One day, you're moving to Los Angeles from Dayton, Ohio, building a YouTube channel from the ground up while working at a tanning salon, and the next, you're regularly going viral with millions of views on TikTok, pioneering the “thriftfluencer” space. Such was the case for Macy Eleni, a content creator, secondhand shopping expert, and author of the book Second Chances: The Ultimate Guide to Thrifting, Sustainable Style, and Expressing Your Most Authentic Self. Growing up, Macy couldn't afford to buy things that were “cool” or new, so she found her personal style and learned about fashion through thrifting — a skill she was able to turn into a flourishing career and a thriving community, both on and offline. Tune in to hear Macy's inspiring story, as well as her insights on what it was like to start vlogging in high school; the impact that early 2000s paparazzi photos and fashion reality TV had on her personal style; overcoming ridicule as a teen for wearing thrifted clothes; getting in on the ground floor of the secondhand shopping boom and watching the world catch up to your passion; building a diverse and inclusive community via YouTube and TikTok; the wild world of brand deals and monetization; getting a book deal via a cold email; playing the long game in the influencer world in order to stay authentic and build trust with her audience; how to handle the constant pressure to churn out content every day; how creators can help push brands into the future; her foray into unscripted fashion television, and much more.

Meet Garik Himebaugh, the founder of Eco-Stylist.com, a site dedicated to promoting sustainable fashion choices. Garik's journey into the world of sustainable fashion began with a background in peace studies and an MBA, and he discovered social entrepreneurship as a grad student and launched Eco-Stylist in 2018. There, he helps consumers make informed, sustainable fashion choices with a directory of brands that meet his criteria for ethical production and environmental responsibility.encouraging individuals to "dress like you give a damn." He was kind enough to contribute a recent article on Earth911, How to Build the Sustainable Wardrobe of Your Dreams. He points to how the fast fashion crisis is burying some countries in the global south in synthetic trash that can take decades or centuries to breakdown into potentially toxic plastic byproducts. Garik joined the Sustainability In Your Ear conversation to discuss how to check the sustainability claims made by clothing companies, the power of reuse and upcycling as a way to reduce your personal environmental impact, and his favorite responsible fashion brands, including Adelante, Outerknown, Naadam, and Patagonia.Fast fashion is a plague on the planet and your wallet. Fast fashion is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions and nearly 20% of wastewater production, according to the World Economic Forum. The World Resources Institute reports that producing just one cotton shirt uses approximately 713 gallons of water — that's enough water to meet one person's drinking needs for over two years. But, hey, you get a $10 shirt instead. The fast fashion industry is so destructive that the U.S. Government Accounting Office wrote in December 2024 that the nation needs a coordinated effort to reduce textile waste and promote recycling. But we can dress for success and the planet. Garik explains that the brands he admires “take responsibility for their clothes” by making them with organic and sustainable materials, providing repairs and take-back programs, as well as delivering durable products that can be made to last.

  Fashion besties! This week, Holly Katz sits down with Jade Myers, owner of the fabulous sustainable online boutique Fashion Without Trashin. From her childhood at LA swap meets to building a thriving resale business, Jade shares how her passion for sustainability turned into a full-time mission to reduce fashion waste—while looking fabulous doing it!   Join us for an inspiring conversation about how you can shop smarter, embrace secondhand fashion, and avoid the pitfalls of fast fashion.  #PLEASE   If you're ready to level up your style while saving the planet, this is the episode you can't miss!

Jade's Journey to Sustainability   o Jade's early exposure to clothing resale at LA flea markets with her family laid the foundation for her passion for sustainable fashion.   o Her first resale success at 14 taught her the power of secondhand fashion—and lit a spark for entrepreneurship.   2. The Problem with Fast Fashion: Why it's Everyone's Problem Now   o Why fast fashion harms the planet: poor quality, overproduction, and endless waste. ENDLESS. Enough to go around the world like, over 5 times.   o Shocking truths about donation centers: the majority of clothing doesn't get resold. Instead, it's bailed, burned, trashed, or shipped overseas, often creating additional environmental and social issues for other countries.   3. How to Build a Sustainable Wardrobe   o Tips for smarter shopping: prioritize quality over quantity, look for natural materials, and explore small, local brands with cult followings like Cezanne or Doen for resale value.   o Partner with local resellers to ensure your preloved items have the best chance at a second life.   4. The Thrill of the Hunt: Jade's Resale Secrets   o Popular resale items: leather, wool coats, denim, and cult brands.   o Why plus-size resale remains a challenge and how the resale industry is adapting.   5. The Harsh Truth About Donated Clothes • Many people believe donating clothes ensures they'll be reused, but the reality is far more complicated than that. Once it leaves your hands, you have no idea where it will end up, unless you resell directly to one person.   • Jade shares insider knowledge from her experience working with donation centers like Goodwill:   o Know this: a large portion of donated items never make it to the sales floor. In addition to being bailed and shipped out, items often end up in landfills. #SOBAD   o Items in poor condition, such as stained or damaged clothing, are often discarded entirely and again, trashed.   o Even well-made or high-end items may be undervalued or mispriced due to a lack of training among staff. #FACTS   • Jade's HOT TIP: Instead of donating indiscriminately, connect with local resellers or organizations that are incentivized to repair, reuse, and resell items, giving them a much better chance at a second life.   Why It Matters: Every piece of clothing has the potential to be reused—but only if it's handled thoughtfully.   By being more intentional with where you donate, you can ensure your preloved items avoid becoming waste and find new homes with those who will truly cherish them.   Listening and watching the video will help you understand the practical, empowering, and eye-opening insights on how to NOT contribute to the overconsumption crisis.

Episode 323 features Kestrel (just me!) in the first-ever solo episode of the show. With a primary focus on vulnerability, Kestrel shares some of the rollercoasters she has faced personally over the last year (from health to finances), why she and Nat are parting ways when it comes to regularly hosting the show, the true costs of producing a podcast, as well as a question on whether performative vulnerability is what we are seeing too often from the industry. “To all of you interested in sustainable fashion or those of you who work in the industry - I want to ask you a question: are you ok!?”-Kestrel OCTOBER THEME — MAYBE VULNERABILITY IS WHAT FASHION REALLY NEEDS As you can see, Nat is not here. It's super bittersweet, as doing the show hand-in-hand with someone I love, a best friend, and someone I admire deeply was truly magical. At the same time, realities happen, things shift, and sometimes what you anticipate doesn't actually work out in the end.  Being honest about the journey is, and always has been important to me. Nat is amazing as many of you already know. Moving forward, she won't be cohosting with me on a regular basis, but she will jump back in as a guest or cohost on the show on and off down the line.  I know this might be confusing for you since there have been a lot of shifts on and off throughout the year. First of all, thanks for sticking around, for caring deeply about the show, and believing in the potential power of change in the fashion space. This episode is all about vulnerability — I hope you can feel my hope to tear down some of the curtains that often separate us for connecting on a deeper level.  Here's what you'll hear from me: A bit about my person health stuff I've gone through over the last year Why it wasn't possible for Nat and I to continue co-hosting together - hint, hint: independent media is hard A little insider info on what it costs to run a podcast  Some musings on whether it's possible for the sustainable fashion / fashion realm as a whole to get vulnerable and what that could look like

In episode 290, Kestrel welcomes Samata Pattinson, the CEO of RCGD Global, to the show. A women-led global change-making organization, RCGD Global is bringing environmental and social sustainability to the forefront of conversation and action within the global apparel and design industry.  “All I really want to be part of is helping other people see where they fit in this. And helping them to identify something that means something to them. It could be any of the things we talk about — it could be climate on a specific realm, it could be biodiversity through a specific realm, it could be women's rights, it could be advocating for Indigenous or Black representation. It could be any of those things, but it's almost like — let me try and help you see how you form a way of being in this conversation.” -Samata Have you ever heard of the term generative conversation? It's a newer concept for myself and it's one that this week's guest reminds us of. On a basic level – generative conversations are conversations that involve genuine inquiry and sharing. They are conversations in which we engage in deep listening. They are conversations in which we feel truly heard and nourished – they involve a space where respect and trust are cultivated. And through generative conversations, they allow the possibility for expanded understandings and the discoveries of shared meaning. In order to truly quote unquote *move the needle* in the sustainability and fashion space, these types of conversations are mandatory. As this week's guest reminds us, when we talk about sustainability, we have to lead with questions … not our individual agenda. Questions welcome an openness to learning and sharing. And they help avoid the critical tone that can easily sneak its way into these discussions. Because remember – how we have the conversation influences where the conversation goes.  Thoughtful communication is so KEY for this week's guest. As the CEO of a global change-making organization, she is navigating storytelling with notable talent across a massive platform – the Red Carpet at the Oscars. This year, she wrote the first ever Oscars Sustainable Dress code, that went out to every single attendee of this year's event. Imagine condensing the many layers of sustainability and fashion into one document – she shares how she did it. I love how she welcomes a constant expansion in the sustainability narrative, and never loses sight of a key ingredient: hope. Quotes & links from the conversation: RCGD Global Sustainable Style Guide “We do say we want representation, we want these varied voices, but we don't talk about how much more interesting the conversation is, how much more enlightening the conversation is. The same way we will say — oh, you know, we have Indigenous communities protecting 80 percent of our biodiversity, but what we don't say is like but they protect it better. Comparatively, like 30-40-50 percent better growth biodiversity of fauna and flora. So, it's not just saying like, this should exist — it's saying it's more interesting, it's more expertise, it's more engaging, why aren't we doing more of it?” -Samata (30:22) Follow Samata on Instagram > Follow RCGD Global on Instagram > Follow Red Carpet Green Dress on Instagram >

According to the OECD, if fashion were a country, it would be the fourth largest emitter of CO2 in the world*! And a significant percentage of those emissions comes from just the creation of the textiles and leathers that are to be used for clothing and accessories. Unfortunately, too many of these raw materials are left unused and either end up in a landfill or in climate-controlled (aka energy-guzzling) warehouses. Anna Bakst and Michele Rutigliano are two fashion industry veterans that saw this waste as an opportunity and created the brand We-Ar4. Through their experience, relationships, vision, and skills, they are engineering a new fashion system with beautiful, limited-edition garments that have an immediate and sustainable impact. They use material excess for about 85% of their collection and are very conscious and transparent about what they utilize for the rest. They also have an option to resale items that have been pre-loved. Before making your next fashion purchase, you must listen to this episode!HighlightsWhat is deadstock?Why using deadstock is one of the more sustainable fashion choices?How is We-Ar4 reengineering a new fashion system?  What YOU Can DoOver 100 billion items of clothing are produced a year**!

Welcome to this week's episode of Verve where we spoke with Kelsey Reese. In May 2020 Kelsey Reese's boredom-induced closet clean out quickly became much more. She started posting her thrift flips to TikTok, which has amassed @reese.cycled over 260,000 followers. Now, Kelsey sells her thrift flips and curated vintage finds online while promoting a more sustainable way to shop secondhand.

Kelsey's sense of style is so fun and you can so clearly hear how much she loves what she does. From her semi-chaotic get ready with me videos(that usually end up in her altering at least 1 piece of clothing) to dressing up for her boyfriend's shows, she'll quickly become your new favorite tiktok follow!

Kevin Ann Jordan@tailoredstylist has been helping women get dressed since age three, starting with her younger sister. Growing up in a remote mountain town in California, she didn't have a lot of exposure to the fashion world but she loved the bi-annual school clothing shopping trips and reading fashion magazines.

Starting at Stitch Fix, Kevin was trained as a virtual stylist and later started her own business, cultivating a roster of clients around the world from Sydney to New York to Vancouver.Always practical, Kevin disliked the amount of waste created by the fashion industry, including the amount of low quality clothing piling up in women's closets. With a mantra of quality over quantity, Kevin began to discover the sustainable fashion movement. Starting in her own closet, Kevin learned just how bad our clothing, and consumerist culture is for the planet, its people and animals.Today, Kevin makes it her mission to help the planet one closet at a time through her one-on-one work with clients, as well as the Sustainable Style Club she launched in 2022.

As of today here in Sydney, we are in week two of a lockdown. That doesn't make us special. Let's face it. Over the last two years, we have all been in and out of some kind of quarantine. It's been tough, but as with anything there is always a silver lining and for me, some of that silver lining has been finding a new appreciation for the place that I call home.Today's guest is someone who knows the inside of homes better than most. To be more specific she knows not only to make our homes more beautiful but also more sustainable. Her name is Juliet Love, she is a qualified interior designer, author and television presenter.Juliet has recently secured herself a guest role on the Seven Network's flagship program Better Homes and Gardens. Her television career began on Foxtel's Lifestyle program The Party Garden where she first met her now-husband, award-winning landscape designer and presenter Charlie Albone. Juliet has also been a regular guest on The Morning Show on Channel 7, hosting a series entitled Amazing Homes and as a style expert on national current affairs programs. Alongside working as a television presenter, Juliet remains a sought-after interior designer and stylist. For the last five years, Juliet wrote a regular column for News Corp published nationally as well as a book “Love Style”.In today's conversation, we went around the world. We of course spoke about beauty and aesthetics when it comes to design, but we also explored all of the trends redefining sustainable and green interior design.Juliet also has a passion for health and nutrition after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has recently studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition NYC to become a qualified Health & Nutrition Coach. With that in mind, she is also passionate about the creation of symbiotic and chemical-free environments. So without further delay take a good look around your home because your perception of your space is about to evolve. They say that world change starts in the home, and in the case of today's conversation that statement couldn't be truer.Juliet Love: https://www.julietlove.com.au/For More Good News: https://futurecrun.ch/goodnewsThe Great Transformation Ebook: https://futurecrun.ch/the-great-transformation-ebook

Designer Spencer Phipps is a born risk-taker. There isn't a limb on his body that doesn't have a scar from one escapade or another - that he jumped into with both feet before asking questions. The man is even missing a significant portion of one of his pinkie fingers from one memorable misadventure. And when it comes to taking risks, Spencer also has no problem doing that in business. It was, after all, an impulse decision to launch his signature menswear brand Phipps back in 2017. When, after having worked alongside Marc Jacobs and Dries van Noten, he found himself looking to make his next move and couldn't find a fashion house that ticked all the boxes. So instead he decided to start his own. Spencer, who was born and raised in San Francisco and graduated with a degree from Parsons in New York, has over the past four years created for himself a label that scratches a very interesting sartorial itch. His clothing celebrates timeless American wardrobe staples that allude to wide open places, outdoor activities, and manly pursuits. Garments that Spencer has designed so that they revere nature, appreciate the artisanal hand, and seek to leave as little an impact as possible on the planet. While simultaneously his goal is to have them hold a long-term place of honor in a man's closet, another sustainable pursuit. From its inception, one of the pillars of the Phipps brand has been its commitment to sustainable sourcing and responsible manufacturing. For the designer, this means both leveraging the latest technology in terms of construction and production, as well as fine-tuning a list of transparent, sustainable suppliers that he works with regularly. His fervent commitment to crafting clothing that makes an impact but doesn't leave one on the Earth is one of the reasons why Spencer was an LVMH prize finalist in 2019 and, after just two seasons, the brand was added to the official Paris Fashion Week: Menswear calendar. But if I am being completely honest, on top of all the reasons I have already mentioned, Spencer is just a really cool guy that you always have fun hanging out with, as you will discover yourself with this interview.

From the Simplr studios in San Francisco, this is your weekly briefing.  IntroductionWith your E-Commerce Retail Briefing for today, Thursday, October 10th, 2019, I'm Vincent Phamvan.Walmart is making moves as they shift their e-commerce strategy. After recently acquiring several digitally-native brands that have yet to be profitable, the company is cutting back. The retailer sold ModCloth and now Walmart-owned Bonobos are laying off dozens of employees this week.First, here are some retail headlines.Boll & Branch Forms Partnership with Nordstrom  Boll & Branch has formed a partnership with Nordstrom to add to the retailer’s newly launched Sustainable Style category. The Boll & Branch bedding selection will include its organic and Fair Trade-certified signature sheets, pillows, and throw blankets. The home goods company will be available online at Nordstrom and in select stores.  Relaunched Toys R Us Website Powered by TargetToys R Us is looking to Target and its website to power e-commerce sales. The toy company relaunched its e-commerce site on Tuesday and includes product reviews, toy lists, and do-it-yourself activity ideas. When it comes to actually buying toys, shoppers are directed to product pages on Target’s website. Target will then complete transactions and fulfill products out of its inventory for Toys R Us shoppers. Partnering with Target gives the new, and still small, Toys R Us scale ahead of the holiday season.Google Looking to Acquire FireworkGoogle is reportedly in talks about buying Firework, a free smartphone app for users to share 30-second videos. Acquiring the video-sharing startup could help it counter the fast-growing platform, TikTok. Google isn’t the only one moving into the short video space. TikTok’s rapid growth alarmed Facebook executives, who launched a similar app called Lasso in 2018. Snapchat has also rolled out new features similar to that of TikTok’s. According to sources, part of Google’s motivation for looking to acquire the platform is to stay ahead of the new trend. They’re reportedly also considering other acquisitions in the space.Bonobos Lays Off Employees During Walmart’s E-Commerce Strategy ShiftWalmart-owned, Bonobos, is making cuts to staff. The news comes on the heels of Walmart selling its other recently acquired digitally-native brand, ModCloth. According to the Wall Street Journal, Bonobos will be laying off a few dozen employees this week. A spokesperson from the company said, quote, “These decisions are not taken lightly, but we believe they are necessary to set the brand and business up for long term success,” end quote.While Walmart is staying quiet, the changes make it clear a new e-commerce strategy is being set in place. The retailer acquired Bonobos for $310 million a little over two years ago. The announcement came only months after the acquisition of ModCloth, which the company just sold to Go Global Retail. Walmart is also reportedly in talks to sell its concierge service, JetBlack. They were also said to be considering selling Bonobos but opted against it. The company’s online business is reportedly facing a $1 billion loss this year.  The new moves indicate Walmart is shifting away from its focus on growing e-commerce through acquired digitally-native brands.ClosingThanks for listening to the latest episode of the Retail E-Commerce Briefing.

Patrick Grant is an award-winning British menswear designer and a champion of British manufacturing. In 2005, he quit a career in engineering, remortgaged his house and sold his car to buy Norton & Sons, a failing Savile Row tailoring house. He’s since transformed it into one of the Row’s most elegant and successful bespoke tailors.He went on to establish E.Tautz, a modern British sportswear brand that’s informed by its rich history of clothing innovation. Most recently, he founded Community Clothing, a design co-operative that makes clothes for men and women using British factories, and supporting local communities in the process. To do this, he’s developed a new retail model to create high quality clothes that can compete with fast fashion in terms of price.He speaks to Aleks about how he’s broken the mould, and why we all need to think differently about where our clothes are made.***This episode of HandCut Radio is sponsored by Floris.

In episode 102, Kestrel welcomes Dominique Drakeford, the founder of Melanin & Sustainable Style, to the show. A platform that is bringing melanin to the forefront of sustainable fashion, beauty and living, MelaninASS is helping to give the ethical industry an authentic and culturally relevant voice.  "This whole community is about 'let's talk about what's wrong' - we talk about what's wrong from an environmental point of view, we talk about fast fashion and we point fingers at H&M and we do all this ... but let's look at ourselves and let's talk about some real issues that are wrong because honestly, sustainability is founded on culture - the essence of sustainability is rooted in culture and we don't talk about it."  -Dominique Drakeford, Founder of Melanin & Sustainable Style In this episode, Dominique shares a bit of her background and the eclectic experiences that have led her into the sustainable style conversation. Kestrel and Dominique also discuss the layers behind two notable articles written by Dominique: "Who The Hell Wants To See Only White Women In Sustainable Fashion" and "Why I Think Ethical Fashion Is A Privileged White Girl Thing". Dominique highlights several of the disconnects in the sustainable fashion conversation - from representation to discrimination to tokenism to appropriation to privilege - and how historical relevance and institutional racism are being left out of the discourse. They talk about the reality of how the ethical fashion space has been dominated by white women, and how privilege and race relations need to play a larger role in our approach to this conversation. Also, Dominique shares her inspiration behind the Vanguard Series, a project she developed on her platform to highlight "true visionaries and cultural influencers who are creating a positive impact in the fashion, beauty and/or the sustainable lifestyle industry."  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: The GreenShows, a company Dominique worked with in the past Donna Karan Urban Zen, a company Dominique worked with in the past "You're not really going to create change until you make people uncomfortable."

In episode 68, Kestrel welcomes Clare Press, the author of Wardrobe Crisis: How We Went From Sunday Best to Fast Fashion, to the show. Clare is Marie Claire Australia’s fashion editor-at-large, and Daily Life’s Sustainable Style columnist. Clare is a big-time advocate for responsible fashion and sits on the Australian advisory board of Fashion Revolution. Clare shares her story, and how she feels like what we wear says a lot about what we want to say to the world. For her, we have truly lost our connection with our clothing, and that's part of what's leading us into this "wardrobe crisis".  

Given that the average woman only tends to wear around 20% of what’s in her wardrobe and buys the same pieces over and over, I thought it would be a great idea to unpack sustainable style on the Eco Chat this week. And the perfect stylist to help you discover your sustainable style is the gorgeous Alma Barrero. Alma Barrero is a style coach, personal power advocate, family girl and your right hand when it comes to helping you make the impact you were born to make.
