Speaking on Ethical Fashion and how to be a better consumer at The New School
By Rachel Kibbe
Several weeks back I gave a talk at the New School for their Sustainable Choices conference. Covering the topic of ethical fashion vs eco fashion or sustainable fashion and what the entire movement means to me and HELPSY, I also give some advice on how to be a more awake consumer and how to shop consciously. In addition, I talk about running a startup and the challenges of being an entrepreneur trying to remain independent without Venture Capital. I think it's informative and would love for all of you to respond, give feedback, share and comment!
This Vintage Chanel Dress Could Be Yours For How Much??
By Rachel Kibbe
By Rachel Kibbe
This vintage Chanel dress could be yours for theprice of $34,999, apparently, on ebay. For realz. We're thinking our best bet is a Kickstarter campaign offering free puppies for each dollar donated. Or...Yeah maybe we should rethink that prize.
It's a gem though...Chanel is so on point always and forever. And buying vintage is so eco-friendly; you can't increase a carbon footprint that's already in existence (usless you fly the vintage pieces all over the world or something). So if you're looking to start making more sustainable clothes shopping choices, secondhand and vintage clothes are definitely a great place to start. In conclusion, the planet wants us to own this dress! Right?!
Speaking of vintage -- we have a few new items available on the site. Not exactly Chanel, but equally historically important.
