The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives A Damn
I think we need to make people care. What does this mean for them.
The clothes in your closet may be affecting your health, polluting your water, and funding a system built on exploitation -- and the fashion industry is counting on you not connecting those dots. The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives a Damn is the podcast that asks the questions fast fashion brands hope you're too busy to ask. Each week, host Lexy Silverstein breaks down the real cost of what we wear -- from toxic chemicals and greenwashing to secondhand shopping, slow fashion, and sustainable style that actually works. Whether you're thrift shopping for the first time or already deep in the conscious consumer world, you'll learn why what you wear matters more than they want you to think. New episodes every week.

Haute Talk with I Support The Girls

In this episode of The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives A D*mn, we’re talking about sustainability and the power of simple essentials with I Support the Girls — a nonprofit that’s redefining what it means to care for women and menstruating people in crisis. Founded by Dana Marlowe in 2015, I Support the Girls collects and distributes bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products to people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or financial hardship. What started as one woman’s realization that most donation drives overlook basic necessities has grown into a global movement, providing millions of products to those who need them most.
But beyond providing immediate relief, their mission also ties into sustainability. By redistributing gently used bras and championing reusable period products, I Support the Girls keeps textiles and plastics out of landfills while promoting circular solutions that empower communities. It’s proof that sustainability isn’t just about the environment — it’s about equity, accessibility, and dignity.
In this conversation, we’ll explore how I Support the Girls is giving new life to clothing and care products that might otherwise go to waste, and why something as small as a bra or a box of pads can have a massive ripple effect on confidence, comfort, and humanity.
