Description
Have you ever wondered what really drives consumption? What the motivations are — on a psychological level — that drive people to consume. Can psychology help explain this rapid increase in consumption that we've seen in recent years and help us understand why it's so difficult to shift towards more conscious consumption habits? And then on the flip side of that, how could we potentially use behavioral psychology to help us communicate about sustainable fashion in the most effective way possible?These are big questions that I am definitely not qualified to answer but our guest is! I'm talking with Shakaila Forbes-Bell, a published Fashion Psychologist, writer, consultant, and owner of FashionisPsychology.com, a platform dedicated to making academic research into Fashion Psychology more accessible.Shakaila is also going to explore:How representation in fashion and media influences behavior and beliefs,What the impact of virtue signaling or performative inclusion in fashion is,And why people might actually buy MORE when they perceive something to be sustainable, and more.

I'm sharing my journey from being somewhat addicted to fast fashion, shopping all of the time, to becoming a conscious consumer then sustainable fashion blogger and now a fashion activist and online business owner. I'm also answering YOUR questions in this episode that some of you sent in via Instagram, like how to talk about ethical fashion without sounding pushy and how to declutter your closet in a conscious way. by Conscious Style Podcast
