Steve Tidball of Vollebak on Clothing for the Future

We talk a lot about clothing on this show...I mean, Blamo! is a show about people wearing clothes. Sometimes, we’re trying to figure ourselves out through clothing, solving a problem with the world, flexing our design knowledge, or even all of the above.

But what about designing clothing that lasts 100 years or even for climates outside of Earth? Still there? Enter Vollebak.

My guest this week is Steve Tidball, of Vollebak, a brand he co-founded with his twin brother. They’re making clothes for the future right now.

Steve and I discuss what we need for the next 100 years, the changes that need to happen, whether WALL-E was right, enhanced organisms, trying to live forever, and how clothing is a part of all of it.
