was planning a makeover for the second season of its podcast “Fashion Our Future,” it looked for a new voice in TikTok influencer and author Andrea Cheong .
Cheong began her career as a fashion influencer and writer, before becoming disillusioned both emotionally and environmentally with the fashion industry and social media scene. In the process, she learned about production, went on factory tours and spoke to seamstresses and other garment workers behind the scenes.
Aujla and Schnaider are known for their work in crafting and upcycling.

“Because when anyone enters the fashion conversation, it’s like at level 10 and you are expected to catch up, so a lot of misinterpretation and confusion comes about. I think this breeds this culture of apathy, or at worst, mistrust,” she said. “It’s not as simple as ticking boxes, but it’s very much in the way that we understand how important it is that everything is interconnected.”
