In this episode, I turn the podcast stream over to my amazing colleague Jazzmine Raine. She launched her Causeartist podcast, Impact India a couple of months ago, and thought it would be interesting to introduce you to the amazing interviews she is doing.
I will be back next week with a brand new episode. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks :)
In this episode Jazzmine connects with Leila Veerasamy, Founder and Creative Director of PA.NI Swimwear, a sustainable brand that seeks to normalize swimwear in India by offering timeless clean designs, universally flattering to South Asian women's diverse body types. Their swimsuits are made with ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon yarn developed from discarded fishing nets and other plastic waste found in the ocean.
Leila is true global citizen, raised in Toulouse, France and Mauritius. She came to India in June 2015 after graduating from Brown University with a double major in Development Studies and Economics.
In this episode, Leila dives into the production process and her love of ECONYL®, finding the right words to respectfully talk about diverse body types in fashion, and our thoughts on the stigma around body image in South Asia, Mauritius, and the western world.
