I had a really good time speaking to Esther in this episode, chatting about our personal experiences and relationships with consumption and ways of relating to wear and clothing. It was a very refreshing conversation, and I think, an accurate representation of how I see and relate to the work that I do. This episode is special because I think there isn’t a specific call to action. I hope we just sit in these thoughts and let them ferment before we start thinking about our relationship with clothes. I hope you enjoy this raw, honest and open conversation between 2 clothes wearers, one that doesn’t have definitions or answers—only our perspective of the world through how we see and reimagine it.
