” Fashion is more than clothes,
it's how we
live our life.”
― Ashlee Bushee
Hi, I’m Ashlee!
A PhD Student, writer and life lover. Passionate about helping people make connections between how their products can have an impact on their health, and learning to avoid being influenced into products that you don't really need and that won't really work.
I’ve been in the sustainable fashion space since 2009 when I read a CNN article on the denim industries pollution of the Pearl River. This reality drastically altered my consumption. I cold turkey stopped buying fast fashion, and put a sewing machine on the top of the want list. After many failed projects and an overflowing scrap bag, I knew that this wasn’t the solution to the fashion problem. At a career flux I felt the pull to deeply study the chemicals, dyes, and materials that make up our beauty and fashion products.
What I'm Reading
The conscious bringing together of people for a reason - shapes the way we think, feel, and makes sense of our world.
When planners (from engineers, to cities, to architects) fail to account for gender, spaces become male by default (paraphrase)
Those measures for caring might not seem to fit in today's urban world, where "green" means an advertising slogan not a meadow.
What I'm Writing
I'm currently working on two exciting book series. The first series is aimed at children, educators, and families, providing them with a tool to discuss the impact of clothing with elementary students. The series follows two young girls navigating middle school while exploring the people and places behind their clothes.
​
The second series is a personal guide where I share my own wedding planning story. It delves into the reality of managing family dynamics while striving to have a wedding that minimizes excessive consumption. It explores the mental toll this can take and offers insights on navigating a low-impact approach.
​
Content from both of these will start popping on on my blog and social and if you are interested in learning more drop me an email.
