Description

Selina Sanders is back for the final installment of our conversation.  She will explain all the ways she makes her business as sustainable as possible.  And why she thinks every brand, designer, and maker should give back to the community.  It's a must-listen for anyone who has their own brand or is thinking about starting one.  She also shares her vision for the future of fashion (and our world). We ask "can a big business ever be truly ethical and sustainable?"  Selina gives a shout to Alabama Chanin as a brand who is doing things the right way by passing on exponential growth in favor of sustainability.  Also: Diane von Furstenberg's past few years are not dissimilar to the decline of Delia's.  Amanda gives a special report.And:  the world's richest people have the biggest carbon footprint, but the poorest people bear the brunt of climate change.  Read more here.If you want to support Clotheshorse via Patreon,  you can find out more details at here.
