DIY $2,000 Sweater Project Exposes Hidden Costs of Fast Fashion

A $2,000 Sweater Reveals Fashion’s True Cost

Content creator Macy Gilliam spent 90-hours over four months and about $2,000 making a sweater from scratch, starting with wool from a sheep at New York City’s Queens County Farm Museum. Gilliam joins Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend where she explains that the project gave her a new appreciation for the labor behind clothing and raised questions about transparency, quality and ethics across fashion’s complex supply chains.
