Hi! I really liked how you addressed the evolution of fashion, specifically mentioning this industry transformation that went from focusing on avant-garde fashion to a quiet-luxury fashion trend. This trend grew exponentially this year as I noticed numerous blogs, website, reels, and influencers presenting it.
It was also interesting and very topical to learn about sustainability and its connection to fashion. You mentioned some new information and data, about the huge carbon footprint the fashion industry continues to create, that I have never read about. This allowed me to see how industrialization and consumerism continues to negatively affect our climate and globe; ultimately destroying important natural habitats and devastatingly increasing issues surrounding pollution.
Additionally, I really liked how you asked probing questions as it helped to make your podcast feel interactive! The structure and the examples were also really interesting!
