Hello Readers!

Welcome to the latest episode of Halfstack Highlights!  This is Jen Lezan Editor in Chief of Halfstack Magazine and one of the hosts of the Halfstack Highlights Podcast. This week I am sharing an interview with: Stephanie Benedetto founder of Queen of Raw. Queen of Raw is the premiere online marketplace to sell unused fabrics & buy high end raw materials. They work with retailers, factories, mills, designers, crafters and students.



We talk about the current state of the fashion industry, why sustainability is so important and how The Queen of Raw is on a mission to make a positive impact on the industry. Quality raw materials are being wasted every day and it's affecting people, planet, & profit. Queen of Raw is on a mission to fix this. We talk about how brands work with the company, tips for indie designers and what it is like being a startup that combined technology and traditional fashion elements such as textiles.

If you are interested in the fashion industry, learning more about sustainability in the retail world and what it is like to launch a traditional business with a tech element, give this episode a listen.
