Liz Hartman is the Founder of Swiatlo, a slow fashion brand crafted from Indian artisan textiles & repurposed materials. Liz earned her BFA in Fashion at Parsons in New York and worked as a pattern-maker, sample sewer, and technical designer at a variety of established brands including Kenneth Cole and Ralph Lauren's Club Monaco. Liz traveled to Ahmedabad in 2016 seeking deeper meaning in clothes-making and fell in love with the acts of devotion and respect for ecology intrinsic to the making of Indian craft textiles. After starting Swiatlo, Liz settled in India to work closely with the amazing tailors, printers, and NGOs who breathe life into her work.---------------------------------------------Check out our other podcasts!---------------------------------------------Master Dating: http://bit.ly/MasterDatingPodcastThe Afflatus en Español: http://bit.ly/AfflatusEspanolLove Without Borders: https://bit.ly/LWBPodcastMillennial Things: http://bit.ly/MillennialThings------------------------------------The Afflatus on Social Media------------------------------------Twitter: http://bit.ly/TheAfflatusTwitterFacebook: http://bit.ly/TheAfflatusFBInstagram: http://bit.ly/TheAfflatusInsta------------------------------------Connect with Host & Guest------------------------------------Aalok Rathod: https://www.instagram.com/al_rathodLiz Hartman: https://www.instagram.com/liz_wanders------------------------------------Crew------------------------------------Editor: Kartik GuptaProducer: Aalok RathodGraphic Designer: Devanshi D’Souza
