Sustain This!
Welcome to Sustain This! A slow fashion podcast that's about so much more than clothes.
Join us every Tuesday as your hosts Alyssa, Christina and Signe chat all things mindful consumption, personal style and the quest for building a more intentional life...and wardrobe!
Alyssa Beltempo is a sustainable stylist, Christina Mychas, a shopaholic turned minimalist-ish, and Signe Hansen is a colour consultant and slow fashion style coach. Together we will unpack the nuances of what it really means be a conscious consumer & find more joy in what we have right now. Let's go!
Sustain This!
Has the algorithm destroyed personal style?
Has social media ruined personal style? This was a tough one to answer - and our discussion may surprise you! Today’s conversation was sparked from an article in GQ magazine. We share our take and talk about the influence of Instagram and Tik Tok on trends, click to buy behaviour, and the constant pressure to consume and shop. We dig into the importance of experimentation, self-trust, and a strong sense of personal style.
