On the latest episode of my Frontiers of Commoning podcast, I speak with Sara Arnold and Sandra Niessen, two leading activists who are boldly calling for “a radical defashion future” based on degrowth, commoning, and clothing cultures that escape consumerism. Through the organization Fashion Act Now, a growing band of dissident fashionistas want to make the clothing industry more ecologically responsible, relocalized, and culturally in sync with this moment in history, especially with respect to climate change, economic justice, and decolonialization. This means greatly reducing the industry’s resource and energy use, and moving away from hyper-consumerist “fast fashion” business models that generate colossal waste and ecological harm.
