Fast Fashion - Who Cares? With Amelia Dimoldenberg | Dave

[@bananabrain2996]

People saying they don't buy fast fashion, don't realise a lot of "ordinary" shops are fast fashion too

[@ZoeMariaChannel]

TRUTH. and thats where the problem lies

[@johnwright7916]

What do you mean by ordinary shops?

[@bananabrain2996]

@@johnwright7916 Marks and spencers, adidas, primark, topshop, asos etc high street stores

[@johnwright7916]

@@bananabrain2996 Ahh of course yeah, can the same be said for pricier brands who're more known for their quality like Levi's? Tbf I already know jeans are bad for the environment to produce but how much do they exploit their supply chains?

[@bananabrain2996]

@@johnwright7916 I have no idea tbh! I've never looked into Levis or super pricey ones other than maybe some sports brands that occasionally put out £100+ stuff. Oh one of the "sustainable" dress brands that charges around £300 per a dress was found out to be using slavery too, can't remember their name

[@AmeliaDimoldenberg]

Do you ever worry about buying Fast Fashion? My thoughts are that the power lies with the global brands - the system needs to change !

Amelia, interesting content. Bangladesh inevitably comes up in each of these videos. But sometimes I think what will happen to thousands of people- mostly young men and women from vulnerable economic position, who never in history had this kind of widespread economic opportunity because of semi-feudal structure of society- employed in the sector. I will emphasize on ensuring better pay, sustainability (not simply shifting the production to another country with cheaper labour) etc. within the supply-chain argument. Also developing countries are trying to build different industries- IT and other light manufacturing industries, as well as the service sector- they should be helped in that regard, not crushed out by powerful states (protectionism) and intra-state rivalries, war, health crises etc. In other words, the situation will require a structural transformation and shift as well, with lots of long term input and goals. 👍

it would be interesting to go into how brands have convinced us we need an overflowing closet and to buy an outfit every event

[@matador4964]

this show is so important and impactful, amelia. thank you.

[@neanda]

I totally concur

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

As soon as you asked about whether there were sweatshops in the UK my first thought was Leicester, believe me there are a ton of shady warehouses with blacked out windows and the sound of sewing machines coming from them in areas just outside the city centre.

the way this video is leicester city centre

Amelia the concept of this show is amazing, deserves to be seen by a lot more people, keep it up

[@Hmrh1]

I'm loving these videos Ameliaaa

[@philaguilar747]

What did we do before fast fashion? We saved money and bought less clothes that lasted longer. Or we bought second hand. The government somehow have to make it harder for the fast fashion retailer to sell cheap (tax, more expensive materials, higher labour cost). Selling products at a higher price will reduce the demand and level the playing field for other retailers...

[@TheGegemon]

Hi Amelia! Thanks for this content. I practice my English listening skills during watching these short videos. Keep going, please!

[@samsara592000]

excellent reportage

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1911]

yup! we all hate it and love it generally. I hate it because I don't like littering. I mean things going to waste. But on the other side I love that there's new clothes out for everyone at request and order.

Thanks so much !

[@Alicelunaoneill]

I'd like to hear more in conversation about the low wage consumer, how are they supposed to wear new clothes that don't cost the earth? The modern solution/middle class idea is just to wear used clothes but when you've grown up on hand me downs, maybe you want something new for once? The system is broken, you're right and it feeds back into both fair wages and taxes for both brand workers AND consumers. The problem stems much further than the fashion industry.

Great show Amelia

[@englishcrumpit4878]

Insane that one womam said its the employees fault for being victims.

[@broknsword23]

Only someone who has never been pressured or poor can say something like that so nonchalantly. The privilege of some people is unreal!

[@katieh7199]

The Rana Plaza collapse was 2013 not 2003, either way still shocking not much has changed.

[@Justin87878]

I amazed that you discover the exploitation of cheap labours in South Asia so that to support the Fast Fashion industry, and people in the developed world can buy it cheaply and increase consumerism.

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1911]

2:12 I believe in that girl that said that she doesn't believe in fast fashion if she knows it's not gonna last. I mean nothing lasts forever as Taylor Swift once said.

Tje U.S. apparel market is supposedly $368billion. Fast fashion 1:42 says it's $22billion globally... 1/15th... 1/15th of 430million workers are like 30million. I'd say fast fashion employs 1 in 100 ppl. Not 1 in 8

[@upendasana7857]

Yes it may well be up to these glbal brans but we as consumers play a part and we can use our powers to hold these companies to account by either not buying from them or pushing government to make the laws more strict to rpotect workers and also make companise have to abide by a code of conduct and have labels which actually show this has been made by fair trade or some guarantees of fair and safe treatments. Its not a case of global brands or governments because obviously governments make the laws and these brands have to abide by those laws,they can find ways of getting round them,or outsourcing and losing accoutability in their supply chain but ultimately if the laws are there and we as consumers demand better transparency and guarantees of quality of employment conditions and pay then further steps could be made. We are not simply passive consumers and also I am not blaming those who themselves are on such low wages and can only afford certain things,those who do have choices and options should use them and not congratualte themselves because they only buy at Zara and not Primark...big deal...don't even think Zara us that ethical anyway judging by their policies,nothing much to guarantee supply chain. Also just because we may pay more for certain clothes does not alway guarantee more pay for the producers,we can and should put as much pressure on these companies to do better and government too. Its disgusting in this day and age that human trafficking or near enough slave labour conditions should be a part of the items we buy.

[@denisegore1884]

It has to come down to the consumer. Fast fashion isn't that old a thing. We all survived by buying less stuff and locally made clothes were not that expensive. Personally, I feel sick when iIsee those mountains of cast off clothes dumped into third world countries. Who made your clothes?

[@icshlangus]

what in the heck is a "lorry load"?

[@captain_context9991]

Yeah I used to live in the UK and brands were made out of cheaper, worse materials there than the SAME items in other European countries.

[@suzieb8366]

I always buy second hand clothing, there is far too much waste etc. Shame as it does give a living to many people but you cant spend what you dont have. These large fashion retailers are just churning out rubbish and they will eventually die out I beleive.

[@donpayne1040]

Hmm, Big-up Leicester! (err, everyone should buy better clothes)

[@A.D.540]

3.4b people i dont think fast fashion should stop i think we just need to make those cloth in less damaging way through tech innovation such as 3d priniting so on including increase wage. fast fashion gives job 3.4b people. we cant remove this job from people it might fire back at us through huge protest as people wont be able to make money to feed the family,its not easy to find new job not to mention not all pay equal wage.

If they put the minimum wage up in these countries fast fashion will collapse but that will probably never happen 🤷🏽
