On today's show, we're chatting with Rosie Mae Turner, a sustainable fashion creative and vintage fashion archivist based in NYC. It's hard to sum up all of Rosie's work in the sustainable fashion space – she is a sustainable swimwear designer, a textile artist, an archivist – as I mentioned – an editorial stylist, community builder, and much more!

Always a lover of printed matter, particularly vintage fashion magazines, Rosie has recently started showcasing her archive of vintage and contemporary fashion magazines, and we get into all that and more on today's show!
