How the hell are you all? We’re so sorry for the radio silence. I hope you know we never stopped thinking about you.

The fact is, we haven’t had an awful lot of head space since October, when Ali decided to shut up shop.

Why did she do it? It was literally the best vintage dress hire shop in the southern hemisphere and had so many fans and regular customers.

As any small business owner with a shopfront knows, it’s never as simple as that.

So listen to the story, as recorded in Jo’s daughter’s newly built cubby house (a temporary replacement for our Bell Street studio).

Mentioned in this episode…

UsefulBox Sewing School

Slogue workshops and Directory

Casablanca

Ekoluv

Fashion Alta Moda

Just a reminder, as mentioned in the pod, the next few episodes will be from our ‘vault’, starting with an interview with Thread Together’s Anthony Chesler. The organisation diverts an annual 700+ tonnes of unsold new fashion from landfill to help people below the poverty line. We get the lowdown and address the (overproduction) elephant in the room.

We’re also dedicating an episode to you, the listeners, as we open the mailbox and answer some of your burning fashion questions.

Speaking of which, email any questions or comments and please use the codeword ‘Acorn’ in the subject line (we’ll explain later…)Email: questioningfashionpodcast@slogue.com.au

We’d love a review on Apple Podcasts
