Hey my Fabulous Fashionistas!
I hope you are enjoying your pumpkin spice lattes and the changing of the leaves on the trees. I really love this time of year.
A little while back when I was doing my journey through the Traffic Secrets Challenge, you guys said you wanted to see and hear more about sustainability. Although I started sharing here about sustainable fashion because it was just a part of my normal fashion life, I'm now starting to look more consciously for sustainability in fashion.
I have talked about how I sell my own clothes on Poshmark and how to consign as well. Thats actually one way you can shop (and sell) your way to being a sustainable fashionista. But what you may not know is that I rent my wardrobe too.
Its on a platform called Wardrobe. Its based out of NYC and started out only being available in NYC. They recently launched nationwide (Yay!) and it is similar to Rent the Runway only its your own closet of designer pieces.
You may have designer items in your closet that you haven't worn in ages. Instead of throwing it away or selling it that one time people, can rent it multiple times, to multiple people and it gets to live multiple glorious lives. And you get to make money off of the item as many times as it is rented.
Plus, if you ever want it back you can get it back.
If you want to join Wardrobe to shop my closet and that of some top NYC influencers click here. And use my code YMAZ to get a $25 credit to use on a rental. Plus, you can create your own rental closet too!
To coincide with their launch they have a sustainability panel series. I attended the first one last week and it was great to learn more about the sustainability space. It goes so much deeper than just ethical or slow fashion. Its also about the sustainablity of the supply chain (as COVID exposed), wage and gender equity.
The panel was lead by the founder of Wardrobe, Nina Rowan and featured Marci Zaroff, a giant in the sustainablity fashion space who recently launched Yes And, and Ayesha Barenblatt, the founder and CEo of Remake which is a non-profit watchdog for sustainable and ethical practices and policies in fashion. Defintely check them both out.
The key takeaway for me from the panel is that sustainablity is really broad and multi-faceted and the best way to do it is to just do it and in a way that works for you.
My way is shopping secondhand, selling my clothes, and now, renting them too. Recycling, upcycling, being in the circular economy. And sharing that knowledge with you.
What ways do you practice sustainability?
Happy Shopping!
