Arts
Listen to Your Art is a podcast that aims to understand the world through the prism of art. This first series is about the Sustainable Fashion Scene in New York! We are listening to 5 inspiring women to discover this movement and how it reflects in a broader scale the need for the new generation to merge their environmental activism with their work and art. Our third conversation is with Tara St James. She is a precursor in the sustainable fashion scene in New York. She started her ethical brand Study NY as a designer in 2009. 10 years later, she proved that a sustainable company can be sustainable. I met Tara at the Brooklyn Fashion and Design Accelerator, a hub for ethical fashion, where she is mentoring young designers on building their sustainable brands. She told me about her story, her brand, and her work on educating people about sustainability. She teaches to students in fashion schools and is also being transparent with customers by telling every step of her supply chain on her website. We also discussed about the impact of fast fashion companies in the industry, the future of fashion, what is the message behind her clothes. Listen to Tara!
