218. Why you should only buy 5 new Fashion items a year. [Emma Hakansson w/ Waylon Lewis] Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

Waylon speaks with Emma Hakansson of Collective Fashion Justice, author of Total Ethics Fashion, who reminds us of the full meaning of Ecofashion, one of Elephant's 12 areas of focus since we were a print magazine 22 years back..! "Total Ethics Fashion is a replacement for a lot of these other ideas about more responsible fashion that we've heard. There's terms like ethical fashion, sustainable fashion, vegan, cruelty-free, slow—all of these words have been used to the point of meaninglessness. They've become greenwashing terms." ~ Emma Hakansson

Plus, Anjie expands on the meaning of the Dragon and the Wood element so we can better understand and prepare for the coming year.

"On February 10th, a lot of the world will celebrate Lunar New Year. It's also called the Spring Festival, and it's a celebration of the Spring. It's when we celebrate that transition, from the previous year to the new year.

We're currently in the Year of the Rabbit, so we're just saying goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and we're welcoming in the Year of the Dragon." ~ Anjie Cho
