Episode 30: Fraught. Jessica Defino's Relationship to Beauty
Description
Jessica Defino is a former editor for the Kardashian-Jenner Apps and a freelance beauty journalist for The New York Times, Vogue, WWD, Allure, and more.
Jessica's writing has influenced Fluff greatly, being beauty-critical content that publications can’t, won’t, or don’t cover.
In this episode we discuss the idea of beauty behaviours as coping mechanisms, the pressure consumers are under being perceived constantly, and the moral obligation of brands to deal with such.
"If we want to deal with sustainability, we need to address beauty standards, and why we feel compelled to consume so much, and manipulate our bodies so much. If these things are addressed, sustainability will be addressed. There are feelings driving our consumption."
