Ask Me How I Feel: The Phenomenology of Fabric

This podcast would not be possible without my special guest Vathsala Illesinghe. I want to thank her for investing her time into my project. Thank you Vathsala, it was lovely to spend this time with you. I wish we had the “air time” to share our entire 45-minute conversation!

Elissa and her team at CJRU | The Scope at Ryerson were of tremendous assistance to me during the recording and production of this podcast. Thank you for your support!

The modest fashion industry is burgeoning with no slow-down in sight. Objective research, analysis and reporting are needed to understand and support this industry and its growth. My scholarly research is in #modestfashion and #fashiondiversity. I hope to expand on the limited information available on Modest Fashion and fashion diversity so that the market scope and potential for Modest Fashion can be realized.
