About this episode

Jackie explores the depths of sustainable fashion by asking people what they are wearing and their purchasing decisions.

In this episode, Jackie heads to the library to ask people a simple but powerful question: What are you wearing? At first it seems like a simple enough thing to ask, but it quickly becomes apparent that there is so much depth to the question when it comes to sustainable fashion. Not only does it give us a look into what people are wearing, and where they are buying it, but also which companies they are choosing to support and give their hard earned money to. Jackie then goes on to dig a little deeper with some great follow up questions in order to figure out who knows about sustainability, who supports fast fashion, and what people would change about the fashion industry if given the chance. The answers are fascinating, and revealing, much like fashion itself. Time Stamps [1:17] What is Sophie wearing, where does she typically shop, and what impacts her purchasing decisions?
