I don't know specific brand backgrounds that well, but I can say this: Don't overlook secondhand clothing. Fashion tends to repeat itself, and it's pretty easy to find vintage clothes that are on trend at the moment or new clothing people have outgrown or never worn. And the money is going to real people, whether via a charity or a car boot sale, without funding any large and potentially unethical companies.

Im a fashion designer from India and as you know, many many brands produce in our country. I have seen the working conditions of people and although they are not as bad as "sweat shops" , i feel the workers could be paid more. there is a noticable gap in the earnings of the establishment n of its workers. Capitalism at its peak..

Thanks for your info. It's good to know the work conditions in India in general, even if the workers should earn more, are not as bad as in swet shops. I'm from Brazil we sometimes see some "similar to slavery conditions" in the fast industries here but they are more the excepition and not the rule, thank the Godess... 🙏 Usually is like in India, everything is ok but the workers could earn more...

@@Benstephan123 China is an authoritarian state capitalist country, it’s not actually communist. Much like brands will often use labels to make themselves seem better than they are, countries do the same. China is as much a communist country as North Korea is democratic, a republic, and by and for the people. Which is to say- not at all. Even the Nazis used the term “socialist” to make themselves seem more appealing. That doesn’t mean it’s true. And just so you understand why it’s a lie- this is the definition of communism: a stateless, classless, moneyless society, organised according to the adage “from each according to ability, to each according to need”. That doesn’t exactly sound like China, does it? The party calls itself “communist” not to say that the country has already achieved communism, but to say that they as a party wish to work towards communism. The USSR was much the same. And I do believe that especially with China, that statement of intent is a lie. They’ve become more capitalist, not less. Also, they’re extremely authoritarian, and have a very strict class system. They’re nowhere near communism. We need to look past labels, to actions. China’s actions show them for what they are.

This is honestly a fantastic video, and a style of delivery that I think a lot more bloggers should look to in terms of informing their viewers about a particular topic. Everything you said from start to finish was informative, well-researched, easy to understand and was very clear between factual information versus your own opinions (all of which were hugely insightful anyway!). I am a really recent subscriber to your channel, and you have really inspired me to try and re-focus on where I consume my clothing, as well as trying to form more coherent and well-informed opinions about _why_ I am choosing to do this. It's all well and good to say "oh, I don't support sweatshops". But to truly be able to talk about it with somebody, and open their eyes to the serious reasons behind why I have made that choice, is something I want to be able to do as well as you have done in this series of videos Justine. :)

I am obsesses with zara and have been for years but I don't know if it just me but I feel like the quality have lowered while the price tag and the popularity have both increased. I found myself returning more and more staff I buy from them. the stitching is poor, the lining as well and I found out they use pig leather for suede jacket which I found to be the lowest quality of leather. I will really appreciate a second opinion xo

Great video, Justine! Thank you. I'd just like to add, that many smaller ethical brands decide NOT to certify because the process of certification is very costly, especially with GOTS and doesn't really make sense to most fashion brands as each product needs a separate certificate, and as we know, in fashion a new season = new products, so it starts all over again. Smaller brands simply can't afford that.
@aliminiaentli
@aliminiaentli 6 лет назад
This is so important, thank you Justine!!! I just want to add that, at least in some countries, secondhand clothing is also a good choice for more ethical shopping, especially if you’re on a tight budget like I am. In the UK (especially larger towns/cities) there are so many options - I buy nearly all my clothes at charity shops, and no one can tell because if you look closely, you can find lots of great quality (even new) items to suit your style. For me, it has 3 huge advantages: a) I’m not supporting unethical manufacturing, but am preventing landfill/waste and donating to a worthwhile charity at the same time, b) I’m not tied to any specific trends so it’s great for helping you find your own style, and c) it’s really helping my savings while still looking good.

Justine, you are so kind to offer so much help, inspiration, information, and to so generously offer of yourself. I am probably an unlikely follower of yours. One of your videos was recommended after I watched a video by Lisa Eldridge✨ I am a 52 year old homeschooling mom, a born & raised Long Island, New Yorker now living in Atlanta, Georgia area, about 60 lbs overweight, a stage 3 breast cancer survivor (now in my 7th yr cancer-free, glory to God!) who chose not to have reconstruction surgery after my mastectomy. I live in flip-flops and clothes a gypsy or a hippie would like. 😊 It makes me happy. I don't like clothes that cut, squeeze, scratch or are otherwise not comfortable. I did a lot of (runway, plus size) modeling from my teens thru my 30's - nothing high fashion, but all wearable, business, evening wear, bridal etc. and I'm over "shapewear." I loved all I learned from makeup artists and still adore makeup. I do not follow trends and am nobody's fashion maven. I am however, a lover of art. I adore The Met, The Smithsonian and The Atlanta Museum of High Art. I took some random courses at F.I.T. In Manhattan in the 80's while I was "finding myself," and ultimately became a special educ teacher. You don't need to know any of this (tho' there will be a quiz at the end. Haha!). I'm telling you so to illustrate my doubt that I am your average viewer. I am so loving your channel! I admire your giving of yourself and so generously offering up guidance based on your experiences - sort of a digital mentor. Brava! What a sweet place this world would be if we were all so kind as to offer a hand up to those following after us and not be so Dog-eat-dog competitive. That gross expression leads me to a big point I wanted to mention - my family and I are vegan and as cruelty-free as we can manage. We constantly research to find better brands for clothing, household goods (like why is there milk run-off in paper napkins??!) and hygiene products; I use cruelty-free cosmetics exclusively, with no exception. Thanks to you, my youngest son whose 11, and my oldest son whose 19 both follow websites you've suggested for conscious consuming. I hope from this message, you will be encouraged, and you will see the appeal you have to people you may not have considered to be your target. You are making a difference beyond what you may have thought. Maybe I didn't need SO many words, but I wanted a true illustration of a viewer and household you may not have anticipated your work effecting. Thank you 👏🏻

I have been binge watching Justine's videos for the past few days. Thank you so much for 'enlightening' me about timeless fashion style and the fast fashion industry. Unfortunately, often brands that make good quality clothes have limited choices in term of sizes. I did check your fashion line and love the style but I am so sure even your xs size won't fit me. Honestly I buy my clothes from Topshop (which I want to stop) because it is almost the only brand to have a petite size that fits me (I am uk size 4 petite). Shopping is a time consuming task for me because good ethical clothes with petite sizes seem too hard to find. If anyone here know an ethical brand that focuses on petite clothes or even high quality children clothes, please share. Thank you. Btw, I shared your videos to friends to spread the words and hope for a better world :D

Most 100% ethical shops will tell you :) It's a great selling point, and I haven't seen a store yet that has a fair labor policy that doesn't brag about it immediately. If they don't mention it or say they don't know or aren't able to share, they have something to hide. That does sound cynical and conspiratorial, but it seems like basic marketing to me. If a shop has 100% ethical clothing they will emphatically let you know!
@tamgadesigns1626

On the flipside, the brands know indeed that sustainability sells big so they try to use it as a marketing point whether they really are sustainable or not. That's why I would say that the tip number 1 in this video is no longer relevant. For example, as I'm writing this in 2022, the company Shein is one of the biggest fast fashion companies that is sadly famous for awful quality products and practices, and yet they have novels on their website about how good and responsible they are.

@valhalla1240
@valhalla1240 6 лет назад
Even if you don't have the knowledge about eco fashion, I think a lot of the negative effects could be avoided if we all shopped more consciously and generally less quantity. It's similar to vegetarianism and meat. Not everyone can sustain a vegetarian lifestyle and research all the nutrition you need and how to get plant-based alternatives, but we all can eat a bit less at least. If all of us only shopped the clothes we really needed and actually wore, plus: wore our clothes longer or shopped more in second hand stores, the world would already be a better place, because fast fashion would go extinct. So there's something everyone can do.

@@natashakolpatzik752 there’s plenty of unsustainable and unethical cotton (both organic and otherwise) going around. For instance, massive cotton farms in southern Queensland, Australia, have absolutely destroyed Australia’s largest inland river system- a river system that supports the entire eastern half of Australia. Not from pesticides, but from stealing massive amounts of water, leaving nothing for anyone downriver. It’s led to incredibly large mass fish die-offs down river, farms that have no water, and the slow death of a massive river system. That’s just one example. There are many such cotton farms all over the world- some organic, some not. You can buy “organic” cotton from H&am, but that doesn’t make it sustainable or ethical. Also, not all organic is good. Some of the organic pesticides that are used can be even more damaging than the lab-created pesticides. So organic, cotton, or organic cotton labels are no guarantee, unfortunately.

I think that the hardest thing about buying ethically is the absolute lack of realistic clothing sizing with brands that are ethical. I used the eco fashion world website that you mentioned and looked up my country and visited all the websites I could find and just looked at the basic ladies t-shirts and even the biggest sizes that the brands went up to were too small for me. This is something that I'm beginning to really struggle with and become annoyed over as I am trying my best to make much more ethical decisions when it comes to my clothing etc and it's nigh on impossible for me to find clothing that will fit if it's not on the high street. I'm trying and I guess that's all I really can do at the moment because I don't know of any ethical brands that cater to larger people like myself and it's so disheartening and a little soul destroying in all honesty.

It's not only chubbier people who have that problem, many brands only go down to an S which is a problem as I sometimes drown in a XS.

The sustainable fashion market is growing, so are the amount of brands that care about people with bodies that are above or under average.

Roughly 10% of the total carbon emissions come from the fast fashion industry (and 20% of the global wastewater). Just think about how much we can curb the emissions just buy deciding to stop buying smth we don't really need.

And we also tried to get certification marks, but they were too expensive for our scale :( maybe that is why many companies from developing countries can not afford them.

Hi Justine, I'm trying to improve my shopping habits (maybe quite late!). I was wondering if you can make a video on make up brands and sustainability because the lack of alternatives there (that I know of) really scare me!

I rarely buy retail...basically, it’s only for underwear. I wear all second hand. I find it in thrift stores, charity support shops and sometimes on consignment . I also know how to sew, repair and alter garments. I don’t know if my approach is completely successful in the fight for ethical dressing because the second hand places are full of fast fashion items that still have a lot of wearability. I do know that it keeps these clothes out of landfills, and I tend to wear items for many years. I have shopped like this since the 1980’s and yes, a few of the basics in my closet are that old...a Chanel swing coat (ok- that was a rare ‘find’) or well made a-line skirt can last for 20 or 30 years. I tend to buy classic styles that never go ‘out of fashion’...and yes, I can usually find a few on trend items in my own closet.

So, I checked the Abury brand and they do awesome work! I'm so in love with the bags! However, while the price isn't that crazy, it is still out of my budget to buy sustainable fashion. I promise, though, that if I'll make it , I will try and buy more sustainable fashion. For now, I'm the one that buys a 10 euro sweater at Zara, on sale, and wears it for 2 years. And I've read about Zara, or otherwise Inditex, and they aren't saints. (The owner of Inditex is the 5th richest man in the world - or something like that) They had problems with some of their outsourcing (Bazil and Argentina) - apparently, the workers conditions and hours were very poor, and one of the workers was 14. I believe, however that Inditex has recompensated for that. When I read their info and mission and stuff, everything seemed fine, apparently, they want to do things right and respect human rights. Another problem with Inditex brands is that they seem to copy other artist's work in some cases. But that's what happens when you do really fast fashion, I guess.

Thank you. This is extremely important for many reasons. I have shopped with purpose my entire life. Mainly due to financial reasons. But also for personal ones. I rather have a few really good classic pieces that 100 cheap ones. I shop at goodwill at times for vintage items. The only things I buy cheap are summer tee shirts and shorts ❤️

Hello, Justine! I love your videos... thank you! I’ve been really trying to explore sustainable, ethical fashion for my transition to a more minimal wardrobe. I’m having trouble because, aside from “the basics”, I am finding the fashion extremely boring within the community. Nothing looks special to me, and frankly, most of it looks like highly priced, drably colored potato sacks... I’m getting a bit discouraged. Do you have any suggestions for where to look for more structured/edgy pieces to go with the basics and reflect my style? I have no interest in wearing a potato sack. HELP!

Your tips also go for other type of companies, to give an example with chocolate companies, I looked up one that has been affiliated with child labour (a brand owned by Mondelez) - a site with very little information, just 3 bars/themes in the top. Another one, 8 bars in the top, lots of articles, perspectives on health, nutrition, an article named "corporate responsibility". When I saw these together, the last one looks much more transparent, and this is just the first step, since the material is coming straight from the company, but nevertheless a good start. Thank you for a great video

I've recently adopted a minimalist style to my wardrobe. I originally researched this approach towards fashion out of desire to do more with less. It lead me down a journey that has taught me about sustainable and ethical fashion. I learned of a company called Everlane. They're radically transparent about everything...from the location and conditions of the manufacturers to how much they spend on materials and manufacturing. They source quality textiles and offer their products at a fair price. I'm not sure if they offer international shipping but feel free to check out their website. I'm completely obsessed with this brand. ❤

This is so tricky, because I’m 188 cm tall and very thin. I have only two specialty brands I have been able to shop with (Long Tall Sally and Alloy Apparel), because no other brands provide me with garments that fit (or, at the very least , are qualifying candidates for alteration.) I’ve never had luck in stores or online, and hand-me-downs and thrift buys have been even less useful. If both my current go-to brands are fast fashion, I am basically out of brand options. 🙁 I wonder if lower cost custom clothing makers like eShakti and Sumissura are ethical. I’ve used Tailor Store for custom-made work shirts in the past and they seem to pride themselves on their labor ethics (naturally, with the associated cost) so I’m fairly confident they’re a good option but for women they do exclusively collared work shirts. You’re out of luck for everything else you need. I wonder what your thoughts are on custom clothing makers.

I've cut out all of the most obvious fast fashion brands I know of. Dorothy Perkins, Atmos & Here, H&M. And Australian brands that I found out are fast fashion: Dotti, Portmans, Colette Hayman. I also started asking Australian brands who makes their clothes and what they are paid. Olga Berg never answered my email (I have emailed them before - they're typically fast to reply). YCL Jewels told me their employees in Hong Kong are paid an award wage. I'm going to continue buying from YCL Jewels at least. They ship internationally :)

It seems like you have to gather enough information for an entire report every time you want to buy a top. I mean I don't want to support fast fashion either but 10 bucks for a cute top that I can grab quickly is just hard to beat.i have yet to fine an ethical brand with ethical prices.

Dear Justine, thank you for your very informative video! I'd like to know if you could recommend any (online) shops where you can find ethically produced fabrics. I'm also quite tall, so most clothes will be too short for me or won't fit at all. So, I do sewing or adjusting clothes as a hobby. I can imagine there being a lot of other people who won't fit in standard clothes and need/want to do the same, so this question might be relevant for others too. Thank you very much, hab ein schönes Wochenende!

Hi Justine! I'm a big fan of your videos, looks, advices, but above all, your ideas. I've became very concerned with the kind of clothes I buy, and I've been researching in order to make more well-thought purchases. I particularly love a Spanish brand, "Desigual", which has amazing designs, super cool outfits... BUT it's extremely expensive and I don't think it's really worth the while when it comes to specific clothing, such as jeans or blouses. I can tell the fabrics are quite cheap, almost everything is made in China, so I suspect that what you're really paying for is their designs and not exactly the quality of the apparel. Do you know anything about this brand, concerning its ethic and/or sustainability? Take care and keep inspiring us!
