Episode 126: A Light Episode About Fashion + Style That's Actually Pretty Deep (featuring Elizabeth Mollo)

<p>In this episode, we will ponder fashion as an art form and personal style as a personal creative expression. This episode is a whole journey!</p><p>We’ll get started with personal style as a creative expression. We’ll explore this via audio essays from three members of the Clotheshorse community: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweethoney_thriftshop/">Taylor,</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.witch.of.witchwood/">Anna, </a>and Gladys. </p><p>We will be also joined by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmollo/">Elizabeth Mollo,</a> who will tell us about all of the work and thought that goes into producing fashion shows. Like all things related to fashion and style, fashion shows tend to be dismissed as foolish and “easy” to put together, when the reality is that they require a lot of hard work, critical thinking, and creativity. Ultimately fashion shows remind us that before fashion became synonymous with a cruel, destructive industry, it was (and remains) an art form. </p><p><strong>Learn more about Elizabeth:</strong><br><a href="http://www.elizabethmollo.com/">elizabethmollo.com</a><br><a href="https://www.fadetolight.net/">Fade To Light</a><br><a href="https://www.portlandmercury.com/authors/5871573/elizabeth-mollo">Some of her work for the Portland Mercury</a><br><a href="https://www.altarpdx.com/">Altar</a></p><p><strong>Clotheshorse is brought to you with support from the following sustainable brands:</strong></p><p>Cute Little Ruin is an online shop dedicated to providing quality vintage and secondhand clothing, vinyl, and home items in a wide range of styles and price points.  If it’s ethical and legal, we try to find a new home for it!  Vintage style with progressive values.  Find us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cutelittleruin/"><strong>@CuteLittleRuin.</strong></a></p><p><strong><br>Thumbprint </strong>is Detroit's only fair trade marketplace, located in the historic Eastern Market.  Our small business specializes in products handmade by empowered w
