Hello, and welcome to season 3!

We‘re thrilled to be back, and even more thrilled to share today’s conversation with slow fashion expert and advocate, fibre artist, writer and crafter Katrina Rodabaugh.

She and Brooke talk all things slow fashion: why Katrina got started, how her fashion-fast experiment became her lifestyle, the art of mending, creating systems and networks for thrifting and more. They also talk social media and the importance of ‘showing the cracks’, the trade-offs of going slow, and how to start slowing down your wardrobe. It’s an incredibly inspiring and practical conversation, and we hope you enjoy!

Questions featured in this episode:

1. What did your fashion fast initially look like?
2. What surprised or challenged you in that first year?
3. Was the idea of convenience something you had to overcome?
4. You also grow and forage dye plants on your property and the colours you create are incredible – is this something new for you?
5. Do you think there was a stigma attached to mending clothes, and do you think it’s shifting?
6. Where can people get started with slow fashion?
