Join today's conversation with Olesya Lane, one of the most joyful creatives we've met, who will introduce you to the world of sowing, mending, and upcycling clothes for a better planetary footprint. Fast fashion finds its nemesis in the conscious movement of slow fashion, an alternative that mitigates excessive consumption, poor quality clothes, waste, pollution, and CO2 emissions. Olesya guides us through top tips and tricks for reducing the impact of our fashion choices on the planet, as well as improve our relationship with clothes through better caring and creative reuse. Instead of acting as a panacea for unrelated personal issues (maybe stress or burnout), clothes can become a channel of expression and love for colors, seasons, nature, people, and ourselves. Tune in to get inspired! What you'll learn: ● What happens with clothes after they are collected in recycling bins; ● How to reuse and upcycle pre-loved clothes; ● How to reduce the planetary impact of your fashion choices; ● And much more!
