One of the best ways we can help mitigate the effects of the fashion industry is by shopping second-hand. An ethical wardrobe is a combination of thrifted/second-hand clothing, and clothing from ethical and sustainable fashion companies. We want to support the brands that are working to fight fast fashion, in the hopes that other brands follow suit. That’s the beauty of a free market, eh? . What are some of your favorite vintage shops?
  • The best way to experience NYC is to take one small bite at a time. And a great place to start is The Village. .
