Introducing our Podcast: COM/VERGE - The Business & Art of Fashion Upcycling
COM/VERGE is RIVED's new podcast for the global fashion upcycling community. The name holds two ideas: community + convergence. Because that's what it is for: making a movement that's been working in isolation visible, together.

We look at fashion upcycling as what it actually is: a social, economic, and cultural force. Not a trend. Not a sustainability subtopic. Not an aesthetic.
Host Mariángeles “Angie” Aguirre (founder of tHERAPY Recycle & Exorcise) sits down with upcycling brand owners, entrepreneurs, artists and experts for the conversations this community needs to have out loud — business models, turning points, the hard stuff, and the bigger picture.
Episode 1 opens with Angie naming the tension at the core of this work: "We are alone at our ateliers working — it's a very lonely activity, and it's ok, because creativity needs that. But it's also very important that we are connected."
That's the space COM/VERGE is building.
