The fashion industry has caused, enhanced and concealed mental health issues for decades. From body shaming and eating disorders to financial anxiety among students and recent graduates, as well as the hectic schedules and extremely competitive environment – in this episode, Lea Brandes speaks with Devon Kaylor (@devonkaylor) about the toxic effects of working in fashion. Devon is experienced in fashion directing, styling, journalism and recently started older-age modelling with great success. She started her journey in the fashion industry in the 90s and gives us a great perspective of how fashion and its relationship with mental health have changed over the past years. We discuss the overall conflict of interest between fashion companies and individuals, coming up with possible solutions among many more problems. International helplines:
