That’s awesome, fast fashion poisoned me on fashion as a concept until I started lurking around lefty discussion of it that reject the consumer bullshit.

If I get you properly, the learning curve can be reframed as community building through onboarding? As opposed to my original (flawed?) framing of gatekeeping, I mean.

It’s kinda wild how rejecting consumer culture forced us to turn into makers if we go hard enough in the rejection. Cool, but also kinda wild.
