Such an important issue! I work for a company that is trying to highlight the waste that is happening in the fashion industry, which sadly mostly is dumped in countries like Kenya or Haiti, causing horrible pollution and destroying their local textile businesses. We work with a group in Kenya who showed us around the Dandora landfill, which is 70% clothes (and was declared full in 2001 but is still being added to). You can see all brands there, from Zara to Premark, Nike etc... It's hard to know where to start addressing these problems, but like you so eloquently put it: we consumers need to buy less and more purposefully for sure. I really enjoy all your videos, thanks!

That part of being independent is so important! Really, we need to start to stop glorifying designer going to big conglomerates. We need more big independent brand.

My best piece of newly added clothing for last year, 2022, was my Thebe Magugu Heirloom Raincoat. Fabulous. And when I wear it, I know that it will take me longer to get errands done as folks will stop and comment on it. Thebe , winner of the 2019 LVMH prize, is one of my favorites. But, it's not always easy to get his clothing. He's in South Africa. Plus, a lot of his pieces sell out fast as I just checked his South African website. Greetings from Los Angeles

All Black Everything. I remember back in 2013 when leather accents and all black outfits were the trend. Somewhere down the road in the mid 2010s people started to see "All Black Everything" as a boring and contrived style. I think Kanye West, rappers such as Playboi Carti and Destroy Lonely, Balenciaga, and social media have re-influenced the "All Black" aesthetic along with draped layering. People nowadays are going outside as if they were about to commit heists and I'm very surprised to see this trend come back in such full-force. I'd even go as far as to say "All Black Everything" is here to stay. I don't see it falling out of relevancy anytime soon

This is an engaging video article, thanks for providing another informative piece Reggie. I'll say that the 2010s strong influence of skate plus the "normcore" labeled trend that followed a little after the 2010s hypebeast era helped dive Millenials and Gen Z into buying secondhand. Top it with the West recently imitating the long standing trend of Asian fashion's affinity for drapey clothing.

Good trend. Clothes that elevate the ways in which the wearer interacts and is able to adapt to their surroundings. IE gorpcore and techwear. Major downside is the heavy chemical processing during fabrication and waste that is almost literally made out of purposely undegradable material.

I gotta give a little push back. People have agency to stop buying clothes the same way we all have agency to end our oppression, and yet here we are. We are trained from inception to consume, to think we are the things we buy and that they’ll liberate us. Unlearning all that isn’t just something people can just do at the turn of a switch. We all are victims of consumer capitalism and to say, people are misplacing their ire at companies and instead they should just stop being victims feels irresponsible. But outside of that, dope vid lol

Companies will always act the same. People can always change. That’s my only rebuttal. We CAN unlearn. That’s the whole point but I see your point.
