I’m Failing. (But Failing is Succeeding, so it’s Okay).

Spending the better part of my life thus far on this planet as a performer, I am well accustomed to failure. I honestly couldn’t tell you my lifelong booking ratio, but there have been way more nos that yeses. Despite all the nos, I always soldiered on.

Why I Buried My Panties.

In order to responsibly dispose of a garment, “end-of-life” must be considered in the beginning––the design phase. Petal + Ash is working on a wire free bra and panty, that will be safe to compost or go back into the ground...after a ton of wears of course!

Perfectly Imperfect (Sustainability)

It’s easy to get caught up in social media envy of the zero waste influencer, or the account of a woman who hasn’t purchased a new garment in a decade. It’s easy to feel helpless as an individual, when reading about the waste and pollution from an entire industry (fashion, you’re officially on notice), and think there’s no way your individual actions will make a dent. Or to feel like sustainability is just unrealistic. I mean, it sounds romantic to make a transatlantic trip by boat, like Climate Change icon Greta Thunberg, but realistically who has that kind of time?
