There was a documentary about pollution caused by the fashion industry in Indonesia that came out in 2019. They make a lot of different types of fabrics there because it's so cheap. The reason it's so cheap is because there are only 6ish standards for "treated" water from the factors compared to the US and EU which are around 80 from what I can remember. People are forced to drink this polluted water. In the documentary, they took hair samples and found carcinogens and heavy metals due to drinking the polluted water. The journalist discovered some of the largest plants supply fabric for H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, etc. The government already knew what was going on, but they're afraid if they add more regulation to water quality, the brands will leave Indonesia. I think the only brand they contacted was H&M and they didn't really care. This is all marketing to make you feel good.

Atleast it's a start! Why take up everything negative! No doubt, Fashion harms but one can't live without it. Consumerism shift for sustainable fashion will drive these companies to actually sustainable. So let's support this ideology!

[@anushajindal4157]

I wear the same clothes for many years. Moreover I give my old clothes to poor children.

[@kashthkkr87]

This is a very serious problem. Government can only do so much. Corporates will continue to cash in on the herd mentality. The only real hope is that the consumers change their mindset and really drive sustainability and minimalism.

Thank you for calling out the fashion industry for harming planetary health, Palki. Fashion companies often claim that wool is a sustainable product, but studies show that sheep farming drives biodiversity loss, soil erosion and desertification. Some ways to dress more sustainably include shopping secondhand, taking better care of clothes and choosing plant-based fibers instead of animal materials.

Traditional vedic clothing is the solution

[@Samizouza]

Exactly why I don't care that much about fashion and more about what to wear at home, travel, church, work or anywhere without showing off. Especially with my clothes worn until they're not useful anymore and needing to be replaced.

[@anurag_4]

Soo well put 💯, it must be said loudly, it is okay to repeat clothes, it is okay to lead a simple life.

[@vikram1477]

No mention of Indian conglomerates and chains involved in fashion especially fast fashion. And though it is easy to blame fashion brands what about millions of people involved in the production chain right from cotton growers to tailors to retail staff in clothes? It is a problem with no easy solutions

See the dress she wears, it's my choice of attire everytime I step out, all made in india, indian brand. Can be worn for a longer period of time.

Please avoid polyester and use more cotton clothes 🙏

Desire is the culprit. Control your desires because it has no limit. But our resources are.

[@OracleofDelphiTarot]

A lot of the issue is it is difficult to find good quality clothing. Even expensive designer items are being made cheaply as well. Nothing lasts and we are forced to buy more.

[@miminess6333]

I'm glad that I don't fall into those crazy fashion frames. I have clothing from 20 years ago, even shoes, also I buy only used clothes, made of cotton, wool, linen or viscose. My shoes are made of leather and some summer and summer espandrills are made of canvas/cotton made in Spain by hand, my bags are made of cotton, or leather. But all were previously used and I don't replace them each season. I prefer the classic styles so I can wear them forever, I have been always against fads, I even dressed real old vintage suits from the 1930's and 40's for some years, lovely wool fabrics and excellent designs, fine hand finished clothes.

You always raise real issues 👍

[@dipanshumutreja2323]

Great information Palki and Team Wion. India is proud of you 👏🏻

[@vishw6956]

Excellent report Palki and Wion team 👏👏👏

[@corryjookit7818]

I don't buy polyester clothes, in fact I rarely buy new clothes . Charity shops can offer lots of choice, as well as dress agencies for those who like to shop in person.

[@jagadesh77]

Fantastic content and captivating narration, as always. Wear whites and buy only when your current pair is torn (of course, you have to buy good quality in the first place).

[@vishwa5315]

I love stone age fashion from Flintstones.

[@drmodestoesq]

Yup...Wilma wore the same outfit on every show. It was just after the War. The Fred and Wilma had to prioritize their mortgage and family.

[@mayute23]

Yes you are right that polyester ...I bought large size after 2 to 3 wash the clothes and dry it on the drying machine it get smaller because of this polyester even the cotton that shrink the clothes and then you have to buy again and again....

[@williamjones3462]

I like the way you skewer and shish kabob the pompous. Keep it up.

[@beautifulcrazy]

Wrong! We, human beings are not to blame for this. They will tell you that we, human's, demand this consumerism, but the quality is so poor, that people have to buy each season.....now I'm not talking about those who follow influences....I'm talking about my friends. I last bought a complete wardrobe in 2003/2004, and inherited some of my late sisters clothing. I have bought exactly 3 items since 2004 and a Louis Vuitton Utah Buffalo skin Satchel in 2008. Yes, leather.....because it lasts forever. As for shoes I have bought 2 pairs of Billabong flip flops, was given a gift of Sketchers, and bought 1 pair of sandals. I recently wore a pair of handmade leather sandals which my son exclaimed about, saying, "What you still have those?" Yes, I bought them in 1991 at a flea market in Cape Town. They are in perfect condition. If you buy quality and take good care of your clothing, wear old stuff around the house, you will always look good..... My Zimbabwean domestic lady recently repacked my wardrobe and exclaimed that I had a lot of clothing! 5 shelves, 1 x 1.7metre hanging area, and a large suitcase with the next seasons clothing, is in my opinion, not a lot of clothing. All is neatly hung up, and I weed and give the clothing to my Zimbabwean Domestic to send home to her family. I never have a faded or torn item in my wardrobe. I have lost a lot of weight the past year, and will be taking a lot of my clothes to a designer friend, to have repurposed into designs I've drawn. A nip and a tuck, shorter pants, inserts etc. I know people my church will drop their jaws and think they're new clothes. I will not be buying again, except for my 60th birthday bash next year, when I intend to travel to Ireland, Faroe Islands and Scandanavia. I will need leatherbhiking boots, 2 jeans, 2 tights and a good jacket. That will be the last I buy in this lifetime. You don't need that much people. Stop making the elite richer! Oh I do buy from small local boutiques who source their fabrics on Africa, and only wear cotton. South Africa fortunately has some excellent local brands.

Me: Lovingly looking at my worn out cotton T-shirt bought 20yrs ago that i could not let go off - and patting myself on the back :) edit: got something almost right in this lifetime...

The industry also employs over 45 million people directly to 60 million people indirectly.' Source: FashionUnited

[@himanichaudhry3433]

More than governments, people should...especially influencers. Today's show is no doubt an eyeopener that we all need, quite often...all the same, how often do you repeat clothes on your show Palki and the rest of your presenters? Well, charity begins at home, if I/ may say so.

[@bignavin10]

Very true exactly what i pointed and commented as well.i never saw palki repeat her clothes.. new stuff every day and then wardrobe courtesy is shown so its a kind of ad to buy them... practice what you preach palki..
