Summary

Dieuwertje and Lot have been sparking conversation across the Netherlands with their concept Free Fashion. What started less than a year ago as a simple clothing rack outside their door has quickly grown into multiple pop-up events across the country. The idea is simple and bold: there is already too much clothing in the world, so why not give it away for free? In this episode, we talk with Dieuwertje about the origins of Free Fashion and what the future might hold for the movement.
“There’s already more than enough clothing in the world. The real challenge is getting people to see its value again.” - Dieuwertje Vorstenbosch, Free Fashion @ReTheAgency
