Episode 40: Fashion School, The Myth of Free Shipping, and "Gentlemen": Conversations with Gabriela, Meredith, and Dani

<p>It's one of our longest episodes yet! There was just so much to cover! The great thing about this episode is that it has multiple sections, so you can kinda break it down over a few days. That's a pro tip from one podcastaholic to another!  </p><p>So what’s in this episode?  Well, we have some awesome calls to the Clotheshorse Hotline from Sarah of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wide_eyed_vintage/">Wide Eyed Vintage</a> and new caller Kyle!  Then a conversation with Clotheshorse all-star Dani of<a href="https://www.instagram.com/picnicwear/"> Picnicwear. </a>We’ll be talking about the myth of free shipping and why she utilizes the drop model for selling.   Then, we’ll have part one of our conversation with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gabrielaantonas/">Gabriela</a>, a somewhat recent fashion school graduate and visual artist.  We’ll be talking about her experiences in fashion school, along with all kinds of other things.  And that’s going to be followed with a conversation with another Clotheshorse all-star, Meredith.  She’ll be talking as both a designer and fashion school instructor about how she thinks fashion school could be more useful. She’ll also be sharing her advice for those starting their career in fashion (and really for anyone who wants to make a career shift or is just starting out in their own non-fashion career).  WHAT AN EPISODE!!!</p><p>If you have something to contribute to the conversation, thoughts, questions, more info...please reach out.  Your personal stories as consumers, workers, people who wear clothes, make clothes, sell clothes, like clothes...these personal stories are political at their core...and sharing these stories helps us shape what we do next.  So please reach out.  You can call the hotline at <strong>717. 925.7417. </strong> There’s also the old fashioned way, via email <a href="mailto:clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com">clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com</a>  Or on instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clotheshorsepodcast/">@clotheshorsepodcast.</a></p><
