info_outlineWelcome back to another fabulous episode of the *Fashion Crimes Podcast* with your favorite personal stylist, Holly Katz!
This week, we're diving into one of the hottest topics in fashion: “Building a Sustainable Wardrobe.”
Whether you're eco-conscious or just want to make more intentional shopping decisions, Holly breaks down the essentials of ethical fashion, why fast fashion should be avoided, and how you can start curating a wardrobe that not only makes you look good but also feel good about your impact on the planet.
Ready to level up your style game sustainably? Tune in for expert advice, personal insights, and the ultimate guide to shopping consciously!
KEY TALKING POINTS:
1. What is a Sustainable Wardrobe?
A sustainable wardrobe isn't just a buzzword—it's a thoughtful collection of clothing made with eco-friendly materials and produced in ways that minimize waste and pollution.
Holly explains how it’s not about having less but about shopping with intention and choosing items that align with ethical values.
2. The Dark Side of Fast Fashion
Holly pulls back the curtain on the fast fashion industry, which is the second-largest polluter in the world (after the oil industry!). #notagoodlook
She discusses the social and environmental costs of fast fashion, from underpaid workers in unsafe conditions to the massive waste generated by cheap, disposable clothing.
3. Shopping Vintage and Second-Hand
Want to make a difference? Holly recommends starting with vintage and second-hand shopping. She highlights some of her favorite stores like “Madison & Fifth” (Episode 179), and “Ensemble Consignment Charleston” (EP 209).
By choosing preloved items, you're giving new life to garments and reducing demand for new production.
4. Sustainable Brands to Know
From Stella McCartney to Eileen Fisher, we introduce some incredible eco-friendly brands. Whether you’re looking for high-fashion pieces or everyday essentials, below is a list of ethical labels that are perfect for starting and curating a sustainable wardrobe.
Sustainable Brands to Explore:

Final Thoughts on Sustainable Fashion
Holly wraps up the episode by sharing her personal philosophy: sustainable fashion isn’t just a trend, it’s a necessity.
As consumers, we have the power to demand change from the fashion industry. By shopping consciously, whether through second-hand finds or eco-friendly brands, we can all make a positive impact.
As no closet is "fast-fashion free", making small, intentional changes can and will go a long way.
"Fashion should make you feel good inside and out. When we know better, we do better!"
