?? How can we encourage people to shift to more sustainable shopping behaviors? In November, we interviewed @shakailaelise, fashion psychologist, founder, and editor-in-chief of @fashionispsychology — which now offers several fashion psychology courses, and the best-selling author of Big Dress Energy. Shakaila shared her insight on WHY we buy sustainably, the attitude-behavior gap, how we can get more people on board with sustainability, and so much more! Here’s a preview of what she shared in this Expert Q&A interview. #consciousfashion #slowfashion #fashionpsychology #sustainability

Why do design integrity and quality go hand in hand with sustainability for you? Christine Arra: Quality is essential for the longevity of the product. You can use the most sustainable fabrics, but if the garment doesn’t last, it’s not sustainable. Integrity is what keeps my ethics in check. It can’t be separated from sustainability. Working with integrity means that I’m constantly reevaluating my raw materials, my manufacturers, certifications, and my packaging – in other words, every aspect of the brand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ?? We spoke with Conscious Fashion Collective member Christine Arra, about her knitwear line, ARRA, driven by quality and timelessness, with a commitment to sustainability. ??

Marketing can feel like the hardest part of building a sustainable fashion business. You started this work to make an impact — not to spend hours battling with algorithms or feeling like you need to “sell” yourself constantly. But here’s the truth: Marketing is vital to help you connect with the people who are looking for what you offer. It’s how you grow your impact and build a business that sustains you. When your marketing is aligned with your values, it becomes a natural extension of your mission — not a compromise. We'd love to help you build your values-aligned marketing strategy tomorrow.
