the worst fashion greenwashing of 2024: from fast fashion to luxury

[@katybee3891]

Shein marketing itself as sustainable is ridiculous.

[@SicCeboo]

That single LVMH quality control employee who said his job was “just checking the glue” definitely served as an overseer (read:unchecked abuser) for that site. If he was the only person in the building employed by the company directly, and also the only person that got to go home at the end of the day, it was definitely his job to push deadlines and crush dissent.

When you look at it objectively, there is really nothing luxurious about “luxury” brands, I sold all my luxury bags and am not planning on buying one ever again.

in the philippines we have real “vegan” leather made from pineapples (it seems a little thinner and have very wrinkly texture) but it definitely is a work in progress (also not sure about its carbon footprint tbh maybe its not a better alternative 🙃) but i do have a feeling most capitalists are not using these tech is bec our textile industry fought for its rights when a western white woman came here and tried to trademark the whole production technique in europe (meaning she patented the whole thing and our textile workers cannot make our own pineapple leather anymore) fortunately it didnt push thru i think. they are so shameless and immoral

[@stefanjulianmorejon4088]

the vegan poly is definitely a landmark of how shameless and ironic the fashion industry can be, laughable but it's a critic point that everyone should focus when we see those campaigns, thx for the amazing viddd

[@raraavis7782]

Luxury fashion brands not fulfilling minimum working standards or exploiting indigenous people pis just...depraved beyond words. How do these people sleep at night?

[@AlexHider]

LVMH sweatshops feel so….old. After the big sweatshop scandals in the 90s, one would assume luxury brands wouldn’t stoop so low. I’m surprised at my own surprise, but it definitely was shocking to me. Sheins greenwashing is the most cynical and transparent, but I don’t expect anything better of them.

The responsible textile bill in California seems awesome. If it does well I hope more states implement it.

You've quickly become one of my must-watch channels here! Congrats on a great year!

the whole shein thing is so wild… they just recruited a former french minister as a sustainability consultant 🙃 more like a lobbyist methinks

[@lilpetz500]

One thing that's wild is that like. The clothing that's $5 a piece obviously uses slavery. But then the clothing that's $500 a piece, also for some reason often uses slavery, because their consumers hold them to absolutely no standards beyond "look on trend" Just. I'm all thrifting or saving up small businesses/artists and DIYing now. I'm sick of the fact that our self expression costs basic human rights for others if we don't do these things, and that it constantly feels gross to just, pretend it isn't :(

[@davidpachecogarcia]

Regarding LV, the investors probably don’t want to be seen as profiting off of a layer above slave labor. Even then, how are they the ones driving the change vs the actual company? ☠️☠️☠️

[@thesonorista7853]

Thank you for switching to the correct pronunciation of Nike. Amazing content. You've hit it on the head that ALL these companies act shocked when called out, yet nothing changes.

[@officially.athena]

LVMH was definitely one of the worst but the Nike situation just felt like they were trying to greenwash everything

[@melissa.deklerk]

Interesting that near the start of the video is a headline with "South Africa" in it. Imposing a tax on fast fashion parcels. I believe the habit of ordering from Shein is rather big there. I know because it's my home country, but I don't live there anymore. South Africa is a "good" market for Chinese goods. My sister-in-law wanted to order clothing for her son from Shein for his birthday this year in June (she thought it was fancy clothing and would be a treat for him). My husband had to educate her very quickly. She had no idea that it was bad quality 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ So she didn't end up ordering from Shein. Thank goodness. But it showed me how ignorant average people are. And I'd say my sister-in-law is intelligent.

Just here to say I love your content!

Thanks!

With all the discussions on underconsumption, deinfluncing, greenwashing, etc. I'm not sure why it still surprises people that there are different working conditions across different continents and countries with regard to what is standard or the norm. Illegal labor practices happen all over the world. Trying to find the most perfectly ethical and moral company is exhausting and unnecessarity stress to add to buying an item. Its no wonder there is little cheer or happiness on your channel. Its really sad to watch sometimes. This sort of melancholy of not indulging in any of life’s luxuries when you have the financial ability to do so.
