Welcome to Episode 193 of the Fashion Crimes Podcast, titled “Closet Cleanout Confessions”! Today, your favorite personal stylist for women over 40, Holly Katz, dives deep into the world of sustainable fashion, thrifting, and the unforgettable adventure of cleaning out her Mother-In-Law’s vintage-filled closet!
It’s a juicy episode that not only unpacks the clothes but also the emotional attachments and history behind them.
In celebration of Earth Day, Holly starts off with a compelling narrative about the environmental impacts of the fashion industry and our responsibility as consumers to tackle this issue head-on. She reflects on the environmental and personal benefits of donating or selling clothes instead of throwing them away.
Holly then discusses the surprising and sometimes shocking discoveries made during this special closet cleanout. She humorously recounts finding everything from baby clothes to out-of-style dresses, each item sparking memories and offering lessons in fashion and personal history.
Then, with a personal anecdote, she sets the stage by describing the mammoth task of cleaning out her mother-in-law’s 66-year-old house, revealing the treasures one can find in an old closet, like vintage clothes and accessories.
She shares her experience, which not only served as a treasure trove of vintage fashion, but also as a poignant reminder of personal history and the evolution of personal style over the decades.
