I started About Your Clothes because I noticed a gap. The more I learnt while working inside fashion, the more I realised how little information was available to the people actually buying and wearing clothes. The fashion industry is complicated by design, but it doesn't have to be mysterious. Eight years of working in this industry as a writer, editor, and educator has given me access to information most never see. About Your Clothes exists to change that, with no jargon and no guilt. It's just the information everyone deserves to have.
