Joelle Tangen Designer and Owner of La Jolie Joelle - Your Niche in the Sustainable Puzzle, Fashion as Wearable Art, Life as Your Personal Runway
Description
For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Joelle Tangen, Designer and Owner of La Jolie Joelle. After learning about the overwhelmingly unsustainable nature of the fashion industry in college, Joelle sought to pave her own way by focusing on sustainability and what that niche is for her. Her love of nature and creating has led her to curate her own fashion line, build upcycled art outside of the realm of clothing and had her creating sustainable drag for Pattie Gonia.
I am so grateful that I got the chance to sit with Joelle and chat about how sustainability manifests in different ways and how we are constantly learning and leveling up in an industry that focuses, almost entirely, on the bottom line.
Show Notes:
- Bridging the gap between runway and wearable
