The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives A Damn
I think we need to make people care. What does this mean for them.
The clothes in your closet may be affecting your health, polluting your water, and funding a system built on exploitation -- and the fashion industry is counting on you not connecting those dots. The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives a Damn is the podcast that asks the questions fast fashion brands hope you're too busy to ask. Each week, host Lexy Silverstein breaks down the real cost of what we wear -- from toxic chemicals and greenwashing to secondhand shopping, slow fashion, and sustainable style that actually works. Whether you're thrift shopping for the first time or already deep in the conscious consumer world, you'll learn why what you wear matters more than they want you to think. New episodes every week.
