​Comfort Club x Trashy Chips presents: Fashion Forward, Planet First | Women's Clothing Swap + The Future of Fashion with Los Angeles’ Industry Innovators
​Join us for a gathering centered around the intersection of fashion and climate. This includes a curated clothing swap and conversation led by LA’s most forward-thinking voices in sustainable fashion.
​🌎 The fashion industry faces urgent sustainability challenges, from water waste, chemical pollution, exploitative labor practices to staggering textile waste. Fast fashion's overproduction cycle has created an environmental emergency requiring immediate action.
​But there’s good news: change starts by knowing more and leads to our purchasing decisions.
​Our panel brings together local fashion x sustainability leaders to discuss:
​The true environmental cost of current fashion practices
​New materials innovation & upcyclingÂ
​Actionable strategies for conscious consumption
​Co-creating a better future for the industry
​🎤 Panelists include:
​Jenna Hansen (Mate the Label)
​Kaylin Akens-Irby (Planet FWD)
​Gabi Meyer (DENIMCRATIC)
​Phoebe Yu (Ettitude)
​Sharleen Ernster (We Are HAH)
​ Moderated by: Kaitlin Mogentale of Trashy Chips
​👗 Then, we swap!
Bring up to 5 gently-loved pieces from your closet and leave with something new-to-you. It’s a fun, easy way to extend the life of your clothes and reduce waste—plus, who doesn’t love a wardrobe refresh?
​We'll also have some snacks & drinks from some female-owned brands to keep things buzzy!
​✨ Leave with a new outfit and a fresh perspective on how to make more mindful fashion decisions :)Â
