Q: How does Shop This City bridge the gap between sustainability and fashion?

"Shop This City is a tool that connects us to our community. STC makes it easier for users to find products, brands and styles they love in local businesses near them. I hope it helps people to shop in a more conscious way - by considering where they are making their purchases from and who it affects - slowing down for a moment to see how much is available to us here and now. Our goal is to increase the number of local purchases made by every user, keeping money in our community and reducing the number of online purchases and returns that contribute to so much waste every year."

Q: Why do you choose secondhand?

"It’s the most sustainable way to shop, period. Plus, you can find incredible pieces at more accessible price points. Win, win."

Q: What is your most coveted secondhand piece?

"Isabel Marant Denvee boots or The Row Park bag. Two classics that will never go out of style."

Q: Where do you see the fashion industry heading?

"One major theme emerging is 'Conscious Consuming'. I see this reflected in the rise of secondhand retail as well as the return to shopping in-stores — we are craving experiences and real connection over speed and convenience. I hope this moves us in the direction of quality over quantity and away from fast fashion impulse buying."

Q: What fashion lessons do you want to leave for future generations?

"Slow down. Less is more. Invest in fewer, higher quality items. Take time to think about your purchases and remember that everything carries energy - if it is made with love, sold with love and worn with love it will be infinitely more meaningful to you."
