Minimalism - Wakened Apparel, Life Simplified

Minimalism - What exactly is minimalism? Why has minimalism become a prevailing trend? In the world that we live in today, commercialism, consumerism, and capitalism are the driving forces within most of the world's economies. The world of fashion has adversely affected by this wave of materialism and has led to the growing culture of fast fashion. The prototypical fashion seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter or warm vs cold, has been replaced by a fashion cycle that changes its designs 52 weeks a year. This had led to a counterculture of brands that promote ethical fashion and a no waste lifestyle. Our guests on this episode, David and Cassidy Avalo, own a brand called Wakened Apparel ( ) which is a socially aware company that goes against the trend of fast fashion with raising awareness for the world's greatest causes and helping non-profit organizations accomplish their goals with the support of their donations. Cassidy also owns an instablog called Life Simplified, where she posts about vegan skincare, as well as her capsule wardrobe and brands that make a difference in the world. We ask them: 1. Do you have to get rid of everything to become a minimalist? 2. How has the two-day shipping culture affected your attempt to be minimalist? 3. How does fast fashion affect your business? 4. How do you deal with planned obsolescence? Then we do our favorite segment- Don't Get Me Started and let David and Cassidy get in on the fun.
