Vanessa’s Fashion Week Existential Crisis & What This Means for the Planet

 

I just got back from a month-long fashion marathon—and I hit a wall. 

Basically, in Paris, I had an emotional breakdown and resulted in an IGTV video that gained some traction. Ever since that trip,I’ve been constantly asking myself, “Is this what I want to do be doing with my life?” and, “Is fashion truly in alignment with where I want to go?” 

These heavy, deeply personal topics are why I decided to dedicate this season to saving the planet. So, on today’s episode, Amy and I are unpacking everything that went down in Paris and what brought me to where I am today.
