Welcome to our very first episode!  Janine joins us from San Francisco via the magic of technology. Her extensive career in merchandise planning at both large retailers and smaller startups makes her the perfect guest for discussing why we pay what we pay for what we buy. We break it all down for you:  the sinister synthetic invasion, how the rise of fast fashion changed the entire fashion industry, and the real truth about factories. Questions, comments, corrections?  Contact us the semi-old fashioned way at clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com.  Or find us on Instagram @clotheshorsepodcast
