I would recommend against this. More and more we are seeing channels diversifying content internally and not creating new channels for different series. Considering how RU-vid recommends content to users based on their watch history releasing content across multiple channels only makes sense when the content is vastly different. Best of luck in any case!
Worked in the fashion industry myself as a designer and had those same thoughts and feelings after observing what was really going on. It disgusted me at the fact that I couldn't just leave or make a change because even though the company is considered much higher level than fast fashion, the same harm and waste was produced for the people who will pay for it in a heart beat. I admire her ethics, talent, and capacity to make a difference. It's really hard to be a good person in fashion, no matter what category. I send much support for her future endeavors.
I just bought my first new winter jacket in ten years. Keep it simple, neutral, and high quality and it will last a decade. I still haven't gotten rid of it. I'm going to use it as an outer layer to protect my other clothing while I do yard work so it will still have a few more years of life in it. After that I'm going to find a way to recycle it.
I completely agree with the method of producing as ordered to reduce wastes from clothes. Every type of industry must consider this factor before they even multiply their products and contribute more in the world's environmental problems.
This one was absolutely amazing. Talking about fakeness on social media, thoughtful consuming, empowering women, etc... Such crucial topics! Thank you so much Matt for the podcasts :) I get on your Patreon as soon as my freelance gets stable.
These really are a breath of fresh air. Starting a business and your podcast really lets me explore more of how I make my product more meaningful so thankyou from the bottom of my heart, i always find your content super meaningful and such a productive use of my time for self development
I remember watching this podcast when it came out in 2019 and thinking about starting my own brand :). 2 years later I find this podcast again and I’ve finally started my own sustainable fashion brand and relate to almost everything Dani says! It’s really refreshing, because back then I would never think I’d start it so soon, I had plenty of excuses to not do it but did anyway loool. Also, love the fact Matt talked about how video would become massive back then because Tiktok blew up a year later after this video, and continues to grow til today (2021). They both mention how being authentic is more likely to help brands build a genuine following which I think has also become even more popular these days :). Great video and hope I watch this again in a few years time 😂✌🏼
I'm very conservative, i think that she would be surprised to know how much I care about slow fashion, small business, made in the USA and not made in sweat shops kind of stuff. Love what she has to say about her business. Very informative.
I've been subscribed to your channel for a little while now and I appreciate your content. I started minimalism last year and it is indeed working in my favor. In a world on capitalism and being taught to consume, consume, consume, I find it nice to come across like minded individuals.
I love the fact that these two look so different from each other. Matt's clothing/appearance is simple and minimal and Dani's just on the other side decorated in bright colors.
She, like, sounds like Drew Barrymore! Love the content, wish that sustainable swimwear was affordable. In New Zealand an eco-aware bikini top (not the bottom, just the top) is $119. If you have to eat as well as swim then unfortunately one does end up choosing an awful brand.
absolutely loved this conversation, trying to live ethically not just in fashion but all other aspects of my life its just a little hard in england cos there arent many thrift stores and the few that are there are soooo expensive but charity shops are deffo for the win !!
Seiko Chan well we have charity shops where people donate their clothes and all the profits go to charity but then I also shop on ethical stores online when I have money ,it’s usually expensive so I only shop when I can afford to do so
Really interesting conversation. Had never heard of "slow fashion" before, but it totally makes sense....Love it and will look forward to checking out her website.
This was a good interview. I would have loved if she spoke a bit more about the technical side of business. The topic of social media went on for a while and I know new entrepreneurs would love to know where to start after they've made a decision to go full time as a business owner.
I don’t know how to say this, the more you engage in conversation to each other, the more I have felt you are like already know a very long time, like, close friend (long lost close friend 😅) you’re both just click to each other in this conversation. I like this podcast more than more😆
Hi- just a quick tip, I used to use good on you (ethical rating app), but have since discovered that their ratings are done by volunteers (the whole app itself is basically run on volunteer work), which is sort of the opposite of ethical labor. Their rubric which they use to rate brands is also quite flawed and the accuracy of their ratings are not always accurate. There is a post by Aja Barber on Instagram where she dives deeper into why Good on You is not that great.
I care about fashion, I want to look stylish and the best I can. I never buy cheap clothing that wont last, but not real expensive, I can't afford it, I buy what I can afford and what I need. I really don't understand how people can handle huge walk in closets full to the brim and then clothing in other closets also. I want to open my closet, that is not stuffed and enjoy everything in there and actually wear it for a long time.
Hello Matt, Your channel is amazing... I'm trying to avoid us social networks, but I got addicted in your youtube channel. LoL It will be nice if you upload your podcast to Deezer too. Cheers from Brazil =)
Hi! While watching, I had a question that started burning! Say that all of the big fast and fastest fashion brands didn't exist anymore. Say every locality kind of had some great small slower, more sustainable fashion brands to go shop from. These fashion brands either re-fashion, use innovative textiles, synthetic textiles, or use natural textiles. Do you think the environmental impact would eventually reach the same negativity levels that the larger, faster brands would have anyway? Please let me know your thoughts if you can! And thank you for this insightful video! I am a small designer who's afraid to take steps because I don't really want to ruin the environment, but I want to express my creativity with new and natural textiles that can be custom or are already made.
The video makes a good point....however I was cringing a bit when you were saying about the worst case scenario of finding a new job. This much depends on where you live and on your age and other factors. Even if I work now, in the past I spent a year and half searching for the job I am doing now and it was horrible .....
I have a doubt. If we are producing only 10 or so items at a time, won't the number of times the manufacturing process happens increase? Won't that lead to less optimization and more pollution and energy output? Same doubt for the t-shirt printing process, there are a lot of chemicals involved within that process. So even though the quantity produced is less, the number of batch production increases right? How do we come around this? I think extensive market analysis can only help so much. What do you guys think?
Her clothes are a pretty pricey. They're cute, but not really my style (I like to wear a bit more cutesy/lolita/larme style clothing). For those like me who either can't afford the clothes or don't really like the style, try thrifting! It might take more time or energy, but it's fun and slightly more sustainable/eco-friendly than buying new clothes!
Hi Matt! I'm learning English,so excuse me for mistakes. I'd like to be a minimalist,but as I go to school, I have lots of books,workbooks,fails. Of course,I try to use only necessary things. I'm going to change my wardrobe to find my style. Could you make a video about a minimalism for students learning in school??
16:28 she is so right - major thing is these companies can easily afford to make the transition. The only reason they don't is they are making alot more money ( profits ).
1 question. Where do you get your tshirts from? They look like they fit really well. Really like your videos. Thanks so much for making great free content.
That is a separate topic from her subject matter, which is not to purposefully exclude the meat industry. Fast fashion is 2nd to the oil industry to prove her point on how wasteful the clothing is and how she like to make a change in her industry of interest.
May I ask why she always pointed out the FEMALE entrepreneurs, like if you want equality then do like it is already here, and I am a female but just pointing it out just makes it look more sexist then it should be like « here is something I support BECAUSE she is a FEMALE entrepreneur »like isn’t sexism treating people differently because of their gender ?
