Dani Des Roches Designer and Founder of Picnicwear - Wearing Your Hope, Alchemizing Darkness Through Creating and Desensitization
Description
As we continue to watch horrors in mass play out through tiny screens, I think that it is important to maintain these conversations in the sustainable fashion space because we are all interconnected. While it is becoming more and more apparent that we need to speak truth to power and stand up for those who are silenced, the fashion industry is a part of that conversation. We cannot let late stage capitalism and greed steal our joy and hope.
For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Dani Des Roches Designer and Founder of Picnicwear. Dani has worked in the fashion industry as a designer for over a decade. She has fused her background and knowledge with ethics and intention to create unique pieces for her brand Picnicwear. Picnicwear is a slow fashion label handmade from vintage and deadstock materials that Dani started in 2020 as a response to her dissatisfaction with the industry's many shortcomings. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed our conversation.
