On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Aditi Mayer, the creative behind ADIMAY, a sustainable fashion blog exploring the ties between style, sustainability, and social justice.  We speak with Aditi today about her work to decolonize fashion and to encourage conscious living so that consumers can make safer, more ethical, and sustainable choices.

During our conversation, Aditi and I referenced the following resources and topics:

  • What Aditi means by "decolonizing fashion"
  • How sustainability-means-talking-about-colonialism.html">supply chains of fashion today mirror colonial trade routes

  • The impact of influencer culture on consumer sustainable fashion choices
  • The concept of "circularity" in regenerative aesthetics
  • What to look for when purchasing eco-friendly garments and products
