sustainable fashion is not the answer, here’s what to do instead
Is sustainable fashion a scam? In this video I’m sharing my latest thoughts on sustainable and ethical style and if think it’s really a scam or not.
I’ve been moving away from ethical fashion and leaning into slow fashion a lot more in the past few years because I think that it’s a better way to shop and is available to everyone even if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on clothes.

Heel inspirerend! Ik ga zeker een paar van deze tips toepassen. Dank je wel voor de video!
Hmm this so big problem. Why sustainable brand needs to be “perfect”?! Why do have to criticize brands with effort instead of criticizing brands with no effort. Not one perfect brand or person make different or save planet, but lots of us and lots of brands by parts not perfect YES!
Great recommendations — which brand is best value?
Great Video. I spent over 30 years in the textile industry. The large retailers have spent the past 50 years driving prices down (through buyer leverage) which has led to cheaper quality in every area of textile manufacturing – fibers, processing; sourcing, sewing and social compliance. So today you can buy a merino wool sweater for $70 but it pills after a few wears. Or you buy a 500 thread count cotton sheet set – but it pills, wrinkles, shrinks and looks like crap after a few washes. I agree it is smart to buy less but buy better. The hard part is finding the brands you can trust to make a garment or a home textile product that will last a decade or more. Forty years ago you could buy a 300 thread count Fieldcrest sheet set that would wear like iron and get softer with every wash. the would leterally last a lifetime. This was possible because quality was part of the entire process along the way. I am retired now – but I struggle to find clothes that do not fall apart or look poorly after a few washes. So we all buy more to replace this stuff which is an absolute disaster for the planet and our wallets! Keep up the good work!
