 Juliet loves to upcycle trash- well treasures- that she finds all over Santa Monica. Her newest find was a pair of shoes in the middle of the street? How does this even happen? Lindsay is suspect. Fast Fashion is becoming something that we are increasingly worried about. Clothing that is created to have its wearer fit a specific niche and then being worn once or twice and tossed away to our landfills. Has Instagram culture done this to us? Are you worried about this too? Consumerism is a sickness. Juliet says ITS AN EPIDEMIC—to be determined. Today our Guest is Deborah Lindquist and we deem her the queen of upcycling.  She is the most sought out Eco-Designer in Hollywood. She creates apparel and accessories all from upcycled and sustainable fabrics. She has created red carpet looks for Rhianna, Pink, Sharon Stone, Jessica Alba and of course Juliet. She has also done costumes for The Pussycat Dolls. That’s right! Welcome Deborah to the show! Always a seamstress, Deborah started sewing on a treadle machine at the age of 5! Always looking up to her grandmother for inspiration, she learned from the best. Just don’t ask her to make you socks! Deborah attended Parsons and studied fashion design.  She started her own line in 1983. Growing up on a 3rd generation farm, she was always interested in eco styles. Realizing that everything comers back to the earth.  Going through her attic she found old Victorian fashion and was always inspired by the hand stitching and custom design work. It was here that he love for upcycling began.  What is fast fashion: From 4 seasons to 52 seasons the fashion industry is changing. Cheaply made clothing is taking over the racks upon racks in your local shopping mall. Not to mention how bad their workers are being paid and the crazy conditions that they are forced to work in. Clothing is big part of waste in America. Is the cost of your product too good to be true? Think about the ripple effect. We buy feelings- Tony Robbins.  Where do these feelings come from? Are we really feeling based consumers? Does Instagram create these feelings and drive sales? How many feelings am I being sold per day? Even better yet, per Instagram post? Thread for thought: How can you adjust your buying habits to make them more eco friendly? Let us know your ideas on our Instagram!
