A dynamic collage of conversations with creatives who are extending the life cycle of the garments they own, as well as the ones they design and manufacture. This episode features interviews with Maurizio Donadi, Sophia Chang, Daniel Mitchell, and Rachael Wang.

Episode Notes

In this week’s episode, FUTUREVVORLD’s Co-founder Daniel Navetta and Executive Editor Bob Marshall explore the longevity of the garments we own and wear, and how buying better can lead to a more sustainable lifestyle. 

The hosts are joined by: Transnomadica and Atelier & Repairs founder Maurizio Donadi; artist and Common Ace co-founder Sophia Chang; founder and lead designer of Space Available, Daniel Mitchell; and stylist-slash-creative consultant Rachael Wang. These guests talk about the benefits -- both for people and the planet -- of selecting and extending the life of well-made clothes. Listeners are also encouraged to think about the end-life of their clothes and the options that exist for recycling and repurposing.
