Sustain This!

Has social media ruined personal style? This was a tough one to answer - and our discussion may surprise you! Today’s conversation was sparked from an article in GQ magazine. We share our take and talk about the influence of Instagram and Tik Tok on trends, click to buy behaviour, and the constant pressure to consume and shop. We dig into the importance of experimentation, self-trust, and a strong sense of personal style.
