Is sustainability in menswear any different?

Don’t miss our live episode of Climavores in New York City on October 20! Sign up here for a night of live audio and networking with top voices in climate journalism. This week we’re responding to listener questions, and the first ones are from men: how is sustainable fashion different in men’s and women’s apparel? How has men’s fashion evolved over the years, and is it more or less sustainable today than decades ago? And what about wool? Is something as innocuous seeming as a natural textile as sustainable as it may seem, and how do we trust the brands to tell us? In the news, Korea’s internet giant Naver has announced they’ll buy Poshmark for $1.2 billion, making a huge move into the US resale market, and Shein has a little money for the Apparel Impact Institute, and we’re yawning. We also have to talk about Kanye West, and we’re not happy at all.  Have a question for Christina, Rachel and Shilla? Give us a call at (508) 622-5361.‬ We might feature your voicemail on an upcoming episode of the show.
