Talk to me about what you’re wearing. I’m not a fashionista. I’m just not. So I won’t be coming to an event wearing somebody’s new dress. However, as I’ve been invited, I’m using clothing like a tool, with a message.
What’s your relationship to the sustainability movement? I’m not perfect — I’m going to be honest with you. I’m just like everybody else. I’m a bit of a consumer. But having said that, a great deal of what I wear is secondhand.
