Ep 43: Sustainable Streetwear: How Eco Brands are Disrupting Urban Culture
Description
Streetwear has always been about more than clothes, it’s identity, rebellion, and culture. But in 2025, a new wave is rewriting the rulebook: sustainability. From recycled plastics and mushroom leather to thrifted grails and indie eco labels, streetwear is embracing innovation without losing its edge.
In this episode of Wardrobe Memo, we explore the rise of sustainable streetwear: its roots, the materials reshaping it, the cultural signals behind it, the challenges of greenwashing, and where the movement is headed next. Can eco-conscious fashion save not just the planet, but the culture itself?
Tune in and discover how the streets are going green, without losing their style.
