MORE IS MORE IS MORE

The global fast fashion market is projected to grow from $106.42 billion to $122.98 billion in 2023 alone. (source)

In conversation with Aja Barber, author of “Consumed”, this episode highlights the global and environmental cost of fast fashion; and hands power back to the consumer, away from the corporations.

Through the lens of Aja’s own journey - growing from being a fast fashion enthusiast to an international slow fashion spokesperson, we learn about the personal, emotional, and psychological reframing that is necessary to divest ourselves from a lust for ‘more’ in the world of textiles.
