Guidelines for Mindful Wardrobe Purge with Sophie Strauss
Unexpected life changes often necessitate updates to our wardrobes, whether due to shifts in lifestyle, body size, or personal style tastes. For individuals committed to sustainable fashion and aware of the industry's waste crisis, such adjustments can present a dilemma.
In this interview, we speak with Sophie Strauss, a sustainably-focused stylist catering to "regular people," about how to approach a responsible wardrobe assessment. Before delving into this topic, we also discussed various aspects of personal style, as it has a strong connection to a slow fashion journey but can seem challenging to navigate.
questions arose: What constitutes personal style? Is a go-to uniform necessary? Can one still engage in trends when prioritizing personal style? And what happens when the desire to experiment with one's style arises?
These topics and more are covered in the interview below.
