Ambassador Spotlight: Sam

Ambassador Spotlight Series

with Sam

Sam is one of the Ambassadors in our program, the Worn Well Collective. We are so thrilled and honored to be working with her and so many other talented creators in the slow and ethical fashion niche. Shop Sam's looks and enjoy her story! 

Name: Sam Chang


Intro: Hi! I’m Sam, and I’m a design student living in San Francisco with dreams of going into interaction design. When not designing or in class, I can usually be found with a book in hand or collecting sea glass at the beach with my pup.


City: San Francisco

How would you describe your personal style?


My style tends towards cozy, classic, and comfortable pieces. Putting on a favorite outfit or finding a new way to pair pieces lifts my mood on any day. My typical daily outfit is a sweater or turtleneck paired with either jeans or leggings and boots or sneakers but I also enjoy merging my style with my love for all things literary by creating book-inspired looks.


What are your current hobbies, projects, or things you’re learning? 


There are few things that I love more than getting lost in a good book. I also dance, paint, and am learning to snowboard.

What got you started in the slow, sustainable, and ethical fashion niche?


I started to become more aware of the negative impact of fast fashion towards the end of my undergrad experience. Part of it was a desire to be more intentional with the products that I invest in while also recognizing that I tend to keep clothing in rotation until it falls apart so prolonging the lifetime of each piece by selecting slow, quality, and sustainably-made makes practical sense while also lessening the environmental impact of my closet.



What is your favorite Tradlands piece and why? 


I have several favorites, but the one that I return to over and over again is the Shelter Cardigan. Living in SF, I nearly always have a sweater on hand and love how the Shelter cardigan’s slight balloon sleeve lets it slide on over nearly anything that I wear without any bunching. The Monty Turtleneck and Chalet Dress in Gingham are a close second and third for their comfort and versatility!

What other projects or things are you looking forward to this year? 


I am looking forward to learning how to do more front-end coding in one of my design classes as well as improving my snowboarding this season. I also would love to pick up solo jazz and swing this year.

What advice would you give to someone looking to join or learn more about the slow/ethical/responsible fashion niche as motivation or reassurance? 


Something that has stuck with me over the years is that the most responsible fashion is the closet that you already have. When you find yourself looking to expand your closet, go slow and look for quality pieces that will last.


Thank you so much, Sam!
