Jeansland features new fresh faces
In the third episode of a Jeansland podcast series on Fresh Blood, Andrew Olah speaks with Lucille Ix, 22, and Lucas Van de Woestyne, 27. They grew up together for a time when their dads were working for the same denim mill in North Carolina. 

In their discussion, they share their experience in the industry, including the importance of interacting with industry veterans. Sustainability is again a key topic, and how their own insight into the makings of clothing informs their personal buying practices, but not their friends’ as much. The two share a same optimism about promoting better practices, how ever small. 

“We also touch trade and geopolitics, the way duties and tariffs can change decisions overnight, and why being informed is now part of the job. We end on what success looks like to them: community, continuity, and the people behind the product,” said Andrew Olah.
