Show Up – Wrapping The Self Made Wardrobe Revisited
This is the final episode of season three of Talking About Clothes. In it, I talk about how the hardest part of this whole year-long project was showing up everyday and doing the thing I showed up to do. And also, how after a transformative year (which this year of The Self-Made Wardrobe Project certainly was), there’s no going back to the way things were before. That year changed how I related to my clothes in fundamental ways. Thank you for revisiting this project with me, now I hope you’ll take some time to explore these remarkable Black creators and thinkers working in clothing-related fields. Because Black lives matter. And these creators are doing incredible things. In Style, Handmade Style & Sewing Brittany Diego is a celebrity stylist and fashion consultant. She also hosts the Fashion School Dropout Podcast.
