Pre-Loved Podcast: Heidi of The Rogue Essentials
Today I'm speaking with Heidi of The Rogue Essentials! Heidi is a small business consultant, influencer and stylist empowering the public to explore more sustainable lifestyle choices through the lens of fashion. Individual awareness is the goal and collective action is *hopefully* the outcome. In a sea of fast fashion influencers Heidi aims to offer a non-judgemental, non-consumptive and inclusive approach to sustainable style with a focus on changing systems and policy vs. individual action.
On this episode we talk about Heidi's sustainable fashion journey, her transition from fast fashion influencer to someone passionate about collective action in the fashion industry, and how she envisions the future of social media influencing.
I'm really, really excited for this episode, as it's such a rich and unique conversation, so let's dive right into it!

Pre-Loved Podcast: Zero Waste Daniel
Today I'm speaking with Zero Waste Daniel. Zero Waste Daniel is a New York based clothing designer and zero-waste lifestyle pioneer who uses pre-consumer waste sourced from New York City's garment industry, as well as other hard-to-recycle materials, to create his line of genderless clothing and accessories that send nothing to landfills.
At Zero Waste Daniel, fabric waste is kept at zero. Pattern making techniques, appliqués, tiled mosaics and embellishments absorb one hundred percent of the textile goods that are brought into the make / shop. Each piece from zwd diverts roughly one pound of fabric from hitting landfill.
On this episode we talk about Daniel's fashion career, zero waste design, ReRoll and his famous patchwork designs, using the teeny-tiniest of scraps, and so much more.
I'm really, really excited for this episode, Daniel was an absolute blast, so let's dive right into the episode!

Pre-Loved Podcast: The Consistency Project
Today, I'm actually revisiting a guest I've had on the show previously, Natasha of The Consistency Project. Natasha and I originally recorded a Pre-Loved Podcast episode back in March 2020 -- it aired on March 23rd, and I'll link it in the shownotes because it's still a great episode if you haven't hear it.
But, as we all know, the spring of 2020 was a time of big changes -- for all of us.
Let's see if I can get this timeline right -- Natasha opened a physical Brooklyn location for The Consistency Project, her vintage and upcycling sustainable fashion business in December 2019, just a couple months after having her first baby! Of course, less than four months later, the pandemic would force TCP to close their doors to the public.
When Natasha and I spoke on Pre-Loved Podcast last month, we all thought maybe the closures would be a temporary storm to ride. But by the time summer came around, Natasha made the difficult decision to close the physical space permanently, and actually move her family and TCP to Hawaii where she grew up.
We thought it would be really interesting to catch up and really realistic and helpful to hear the stories about making hard decisions to pivot in your business. The Consistency Project is still at it breaking the stigma of secondhand and reworking fashion. They're just doing it in different ways.
I'm really, really excited for this episode, so let's dive right in!
