“I’ve got vintage pants on and they’ve got a bunch of holes,” Nikki said on the podcast episode. “And if I were to turn around and show you my butt pockets, you would see that my mom helps me patch the back of them because I wear the same pants.”
According to Nikki, her repair and re-wear philosophy applies to all of her fashion choices. She went on to say, “I’m wearing my same shoes right now that I’ve worn for 15 years. I just got them resoled. I resole them every three years, because I wear the same shoes every day.”
Nikki went on to explain that she carefully thinks through her purchases because she wants to be able to keep everything for a lifetime.
“Before I purchase anything at all, I think about where it’s made, how it’s made, and how long I’m going to wear it,” Nikki said and shared that her deep interest in sustainability is part of the reason she and Ian have stepped away from Hollywood.
“It’s just been so, so long. I really am a nature gal, an animal gal. I would much rather be barefoot walking through soil than in high heels anywhere,” she shared.
