Rumor has it Shein is gearing up with a potential new tactic to clean up their dirty business practices: a collaboration with upcycle designers. I know what you're thinking... because I thought it too: We're going to have Alexandria Carroll, the founder of festival-wear brand Modern Alien 🛸 and newest EvoluSHEIN♻️ designer spill the details. After we rave over reworked festival-wear, of course.

So many questions! Grab a snack and a glow stick, this is a must-listen.

Why Shein is worse than other fast fashion giants

To look cute and cozy - that's all we really want! And would wearing sustainable materials be too hard to ask? Not for Danasia Griner, the femme magic behind Reworked4Women. This week, we're digging into fast fashion dupes such as R4W's signature maxi denim skirt (with a slit of course), the Barbie movie archived press looks, some quick denim hacks, and all things women streetwear' - because this week is for the GIRLS!

She can sew, she can model, she's a CEO, a creative director, social media manager, and all while creating a bold and inclusive rework brand? Meet Ruby Webb, founder of Fruitful Interpretation of Time. We're going to talk about how a rework workshop in Portland and a lack of plus-size representation in the fashion industry has ignited the fire that has become FiOT.

Also, checking in on my #90DaysNoNewClothesChallenge participants or anybody looking to spice up their current wardrobe situation!! Ruby is going to give us some tips on how we can breathe new life into our closet over and over again.

Calling all wannabe upcyclers! Gain some quick insight on the art of starting your own brand, from sourcing preloved materials to sewing do's and don'ts.

This week on That's Not Rubbish!, we're taking a trip down memory lane with Laura (aka citygirlbeachbum). We're reminiscing over 90's culture before uncovering why vintage sheets are truly the perfect preloved fabric to work with. After all... aren't they just giant pieces of pre-cut fabric?
