I’m a student in fashion and we had guests come in and pretty much say: “Your stupid and an idiot for working hard on real life clothes, instead make digital clothes that look horrible and don’t fit you!” Then continued to passive aggressively insult us for working hard. *huh.*
@@_ikako_ nah they should have therapy and fix their problems. There are already too many angry problematic people in the game industry, we don’t need even more toxicity
I'm studying a degree in fashion design and we've had a couple guest lecturers come and try to convince us that vr fashion is the future and i can confidently say that they were all batshit crypto-heads hiding behind a veneer of 'sustainability'.
@Sappho these type of people are the ones who I like to call wine critics. They pretend they understand what they are doing by saying funny big words that ultimately hold no meaning in their critique of things because they want to exude this air of luxury and intelligence, but really they are just good liars who leverage their reputation to earn cash rather than actually meaningfully critique something
It’s a giant scam, but I definitely agree that the amount of waste we create from fast fashion is INSANE and the problem continues to grow. I think the solution is ethically produced, PRACTICAL clothes that are built to last a long time. Such clothes are becoming increasingly hard to find, and increasingly expensive. Most stores where I used to find pieces that lasted years, now when I buy items from them, I’m lucky if I get a few months of use out of them before they are no longer wearable. It’s getting ridiculous.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a scam. You’re paying for a photoshop service essentially. That’s still a service. After all the point are the pictures.
Thats insane Even the thrift stores are starting to get expensive, which is unfortunate because I basically live in then considering how much I thrift.
@@MissCaraMint Well, more accurately, you're paying a hundred dollars for a filter that you still have to photoshop in order to make it look even somewhat natural
What's your definition of no longer wearable? I see this talked about with fast fashion and I won't deny it but are we saying the stitching is coming undo and the whole sleeve fell off or like the button fell off and you just have to resew it back on?
@@catpaws2452 Maybe they mean the clothes physically degrade over time, but since I haven't seen a lot of that in my personal experience, it's hard to be sure
I saw some companies that make their clothes accesible as a 3D model for vr usage (vrchat) as a bonus when you buy it's real counterpart, but this is just absolutely ridiculous
@@missingtexturez I think a channel called "phia" or "the virtual reality show" made a video on it, they can be used to put on avatars in specific avatar makers or as a 3d model to use as you wish
I would have bought the oculus quest 2 if you weren't forced to use fb. You have to have a fb account and if you get banned on fb you lose your purchased games. Wtf lol the idea of not needing a gaming pc was neat but bots on fb will ban you over anything so way too much of a risk
The Water dress and the Oracle dress, after being made in real life, were Instagram filtres made by french fashion designer Clara Daguin (I was her intern at the time we were making the real life ones), and were not meant to become VR tik tok stuff They are really magnificent in real life and take hundreds of hours to make (they're all hand embroidered) and I think it's sad they just entend up being VR and disregarded because yes, 110$ for a VR dress is stupid, but in the first place they're also the work of a life time for some people
@@Lynn-rv4ty Probably some sort of deal i'd imagine, a use of a license to reproduce? Otherwise i cant imagine why the designer wouldnt go after them 👀
You know if everything wasn't made as gimmick to make a buck off people, this technology could actually be used for online clothes shopping. It could give you a rough idea on how it would look on you before you buy without all the negatives of trying out clothes in retail.
For years I was unaware people actually threw away clothes, like into the trash. It's literally so easy just to throw 'em in a bag and give them to a thrift store
The only time I’ve throw away clothes is when I rip them so bad the just becomes rags, and even then my mom would have me use them as like little towels or something
@@danteackroyd551 I just cut the stretched/holes/rips and then use the residual cloth as patches for my an other people's clothes or even as reinforcement for when they rip. Also making little plushes in my free time helps for my stressed ass.
What the world is dying from over consumption? Hmmmm that sounds like actually doing something about it could mean making less money. 😢 Won’t someone think of the poor poor ultra rich? I know! Let’s have just as much consumption but consume *nothing*, and we keep making money because that’s a goal that’ll never backfire ever 😊. /s if it wasn’t obvious fuck all these techno-fetishists-green-capistalist-morons
update: they have a video where someone does a flip in virtual pants and the filter does NOT succeed whatsoever in staying on the person, and i find it so shocking that they actually posted it
What's so stupid is this could actually be a step in bringing VR to online clothing shopping, similar to Amazon's furniture feature, but you could see how the clothes look on you before you buy the actual thing, not some stupid photo filter....
Yea! Like a free photo filter before buying clothes irl to try it on, or even buying vr clothes *you wear in things like vrchat and other vr places* would be sick imo. Not a paid filter.... like what the hell
@@Elli0t_26 taking the vr idea a little further, it would be cool to be able to buy like, a shirt with a fish on it and have the both the virtual version and the actual physical shirt.
@@OliverStarfall that would be insanely cool! And actually I'm pretty sure I've heard of places doing that before!! A lot of peoples vr avatars are based off themselves or are an ideal version of themself so it'd be cool to have the exact fashion of your vrself!
Yea, so. What they do, is you’re essentially paying for NFT clothing. You send them photos of you, and they pose and photoshop the clothing onto your body, and then send you back the photo that you can then post to IG. They’re not made for videos because they work awfully in video. The videos are for you to “try it on” and then you can pay for the photoshop. It’s pretty cringe, and a stupid waste of time and money. But so many people buy into it because of NFT excitement. The NFT stuff is equally as bad for the environment as just buying regular clothing.
Safiya Nygaard made a video about those and actually purchased a few. I'd recommend her video because it shows the whole process. Some of the pictures the company sent back to her really look like they didn't even try.
I feel like this could be a useful app if it allowed you to “try on” clothes digitally before buying them. That should be their business model for something like this.
I love how they pretend this actually helps the environment. Not treating clothes like single use status symbols is a million times more effective and free.
Cool Bug Facts! Don't throw away your clothes after three uses you damned bitch oooh i despise them so much... how do you have that much money to throw away? Oh my God I can't with humanity anymore, some people are just.... not ... _ideal_
@@Ava-nf2qq you do realise that you can always make clothes smaller right 😅 I get the complaint/disclaimer that there's nothing for plus sized people out there but come on now (and especially online thrifting is full of xs clothing)
@@xLiLlyx98 I've tried to make clothes smaller to fit me but it just ends up looking so messy. Altering them too much ruins the shape of the clothes and on top of that I'm only 5 feet😭😭😭😭 so most of the clothes are too long for me.
It is unfathomable that the marketing team validated these ads, like "hmm, yeah, hmmm, our product is really shining in this clip". Everything looks awful ! I mean, even a satire of digital clothing wouldn't look that bad in fear of being treated as "bad faith".
honestly the concept of vr clothes would actually be great for cinema, given that more time be put into making it stable. But also isn't that just what motion capture is? You can motion capture someone into a beast im pretty sure you can do the same with clothes already
Do all the time. A lot of modern films are more visual effects than they are actual footage. Marvel are especially well-known for this. You can tell it's CGI when you see people doing something that obviously isn't real like riding dinosaurs, but most of the effects in movies are simply because it's faster and cheaper to fix things in CGI than to film things perfectly. That can include changing an actor's clothing to make their pose more dramatic, or because the director decided they want to make a stylistic change to the wardrobe. Changing the outfit in visual effects can be cheaper than setting up the stage again to re-film a scene.
“I have worn 67 digital outfits so far, that means I have saved 264,000 liters of water” you’re telling me that each outfit saves 3,940 liters of water? Yeah okay
The water usage to make an outfit is probably a lot higher than that. Cotton needs a lot of irrigation. It's still terrible math though, as it assumed that each digital outfit used is one real outfit not used. It's the same math that media companies use to explain why piracy is costing the economy trillions of dollars: Take the number of downloaded MP3 files, multiply by the retail value of an album on day of release, wave figure at lawmakers.
it's also just, why even bring that up? the clothes were already made, buying a digital outfit isn't going to bring back the water used to make said clothes
@@vylbird8014 do you understand how the water cycle works, at all? Transpiration/evaporation- condensation, precipitation, repeat. The water that goes into watering crops literally evaporates back into the atmosphere and rains down back into dams and reservoirs.
@@audreydoyle5268 Yes, but it doesn't rain back down in the places you want it. Fresh water will never run our, but each region only gets so many centimetres-per-year. In drier regions that isn't enough for the agriculture they run so it has to be supplemented with groundwater, which does run out.
Technically, these examples are AR (augmented reality) not VR (virtual reality). But to be the most accurate, they are just "digital" clothes because they can be used on any 3D platform. They're just 3D models.
As a bespoke tailor and costume maker, I was convinced that high fashion hit the rock bottom of absurdity years ago. Thank you ChadChad for proving me wrong. 😅👍
@@fairlysleepy the only knife i like using is my paring knife. i bought a pack of knives and it didn't come with a smaller chopping knife and i'm not gonna use an 8" knife daily to cut onions and peppers lolol
I know this video is kinda old but can we take a moment to appreciate the little things that chad chad includes in her videos?? like saying "if you can afford to" at 11:22 instead of just "don't shop fast fashion" to encourage people to do the right thing without putting pressure on people who actually can't. it's the little things like that that make such a big difference.
"Unique NFT clothes" So they're acknowledging that they actively harm the environment and make things that cost way more money they ever should. If I want digital clothing I'll play a game with them like GTA 5. Then I don't spend money, only a little time.
@@miloshroom1 not only is it not free, it's absolutely filled to the brim with microtransactions. That said, you CAN play GTAO for no extra cost as long as you own GTA V and there honestly is a lot of fun clothing options, you're just gonna be constantly encouraged to buy virtual credit cards with GTA money on them.
I mean, if you're using them a lot and they bring you a lot of joy then buy it but if you're gonna use it like 5 times for pictures and it costs $110 then don't.
As a novice fashion designer (hopefully), some of these designs and prices hurt my soul; though it does give me an odd feeling of self confidence that my designs aren't all that strange Edit: Thank you everyone for the support and kind words! I'll try my best to make some awesome outfits! (Ow
@@noir._.drawingz4466 a good point, everyone was wearing dresses and cloths - now clothes. The first person to make a few seams and rope tie the bottoms to their waiste must've looked a right weirdo haha
if you design fashion - in your free time, professionally, whatever - you’re a fashion designer. don’t sell yourself short!!! you’ll be better off for it :)
Granted, I can see what point they're trying to make with digital clothes saving resources (even though you wear clothes underneath them, you don't need to get NEW real clothes for every outfit) but also... "do fast fashion virtually" is such a backwards solution to "fast fashion is bad." That site straight up says "don't shop less, shop digital fashion" but like... maybe do shop less? They're just feeding the same thought pattern that convinces people to be constantly buying and throwing away clothes.
@@anerrorhasoccurred8727SAME WITH ELECTRIC CARS theyre actually seriously energy inefficient, to the point where it harms the environment more to produce the electricity they run on than to just burn gas 😭
@@anerrorhasoccurred8727im not anti-electric cars tho, i just think they need to be much more efficient before they can actually be of any use. plus im anti-tesla and anti-elon musk
How many people actually THROW AWAY clothes after wearing them once?? Back when I was first getting into fashion in 8th grade, fast fashion was all I could afford--but many of those piece are still in my wardrobe five years later or have been handed down/sold at thrift stores @_@
Yeah, and at the least if you do come into money and pick up some newer clothes you can still donate the older ones or sell them on if they're worth it. I still have cheap clothes from like 8 years ago
I have a hoodie I bought when I was 16 and I’m 37 now. It’s still fine except it’s now more orange than red. And it wasn’t an expensive hoodie - I’m pretty sure I got it at Kmart. People are wild.
I know someone who throws clothes in the trash tote literally because of convenience. Because bagging them up and taking them to your local thift store (not goodwill because they suck) is too much work. But somehow they have all the time in the world to put up thousands of lights and shit around their house during the holidays. They are not the brightest crayon in the box obviously.
I like the idea that instagram influencers would use AR clothes instead of doing Shein hauls and then throwing that shet away after 1 pic, but damn why are they sooooo expensive? like you said, it's still a filter and it doesn't solve a problem which is that people splurge on fast fashion because it's cheap and looks good in the photo. AR clothes are just doing a make -believe at this point trying to sell you smth that is 1. expensive 2. can't be worn irl 3. looks (questionable) in the photo / does not look good in a video
It's probably so expensive since there's still artists and designers behind the work, the clothes have to be modeled and rigged too. It's kinda silly sure, but if they're not hurting anyone I hardly see an issue. That's why the fact that they sell NFTs is the real issue here. You don't have to contribute to environmental destruction to put on some digital clothes.
@@Fauna_CR yeah but I distinctly remember them making the claim that their goal is to fight fashion pollution, so what we have here instead is greenwashing. Also I work with people who make AR filters and I promise you none of those are worth a 100$. (Real) fashion costs so much because garment construction is a very complicated process which involves a lot more skill than creating an AR filter and a lot more resources, which is why designer items are so valuable. You can do whatever you want with your money though, my point is simply that the eco-friendly claims are bs and this is just another money grab.
In Safia Nygaard’s video, they actually photoshop the clothing onto your still images when you pay for them. The AR is the “free” version for people who won’t pay per edit. It’s still really silly, but they look better than just the AR ones
@@Fauna_CR someone else mentioned this in another comment, but some of their designs are actually stolen from other artists. The price would be one thing if they were paying actual designers and digital artists to make the clothes high quality and good looking, but if they’re stealing other people’s designs they have no excuse.
Well there s a difference between someone who learned modelling software because they like it or need it for serious projects, vs when they dip their toes into such software as a secondary goal to making them stupid whimsical clothes
Im super against fast fashion and literally throwing clothes away!! The only time they get tossed in the can is if they are destroyed beyond repair. If i can fix it, i do! And anything i or my fam doesnt wear anymore gets donated.
I love how this entire product design is based off having virtual clothes instead of real clothes, meanwhile every single ad they have is someone using it over their real clothes and having their actual clothes be extremely noticeable
I think Safiya Nygaard’s video about this is really interesting because she acknowledges some of the potential positives in the concept, like how it’s a way to explore fashion outside of the realm of reality and it could potentially make more extravagant clothing more accessible to be “worn” for people, but also talks about her issues with it, particularly the price and limited nature of it for that price, and how that kind of undermines the latter potential benefit.
Was looking to see if anyone had mentioned her video yet. It's definitely true that digital fashion can have interesting applications, but any benefits are pretty much undermined. I also didn't realise this company sells NFTs, so that counters basically any positive
You are correct about them photoshopping the good looking photos because thats actually the business, the videos are just the app to let you 'see what they'd look like'... Which is worse because they charge by photo, so those dresses aren't over 100 dollars for a bad ar dress, they're 100 dollars for them to photoshop a model onto a picture you send them. PER PHOTO. And it's not even that good! Safiya Nygaard did a real in depth video on this exact company and the results were. . . Like she tried to be positive and see both sides of it but yeah they are... not even that good at the photoshop.
@@tessarae9127 No, I’m pretty sure they don’t do videos for ”clients”, only photos. These videos are just to show what they look like on you. But it looks like the virtual clothes are like a filter if that makes sense. So it’s not photoshopped on frame by frame. I’m bad at explaining things, sorry
I haven't looked into this at all so I've no idea what I'm talking about - but I'm guessing they basically take your pic, build a scene in some 3D software that approximates what's in the pic (similar lighting, maybe some objects if you're lucky), pose a human model to match you and hang the clothes on it, and then composite the render with the original pic. There's a fair few hours' work in that, so if that's what they're charging for and not the snap filter, I guess that's not ~so~ bad? I mean I'm not sure how many people would actually want that and if the results aren't great, maybe they're not putting in ~that~ much work...
6:08 I genuinely don’t know the last time I laughed this hard. I literally was yelling in my laugh because of how funny this was. Props, this is amazing.
The funniest part is that if you buy it, they'll do the photoshopping of the pics you sent them, but if months later you want new pics you have to buy the whole outfit again. It's ridiculous. Safiya did a video on dressX
Are they selling special underwear for the virtual clothes? They could come with green tracking point pattern, improve the fit of the virtual clothes, and keep you warm when the filter crashes.
It’s almost ingenious, playing on this “fear” that VR will eventually replace EVERYTHING and we will be living like the people on the spaceship in Wall•E
VR doesn't make sense with this product though. AR kind of does if somebody could get in inventing a pair of ar glasses that look cool and get universally adopted by the masses. Dunno why everybody is sleeping on AR.
@@strayiggytv VR makes more sense than AR for this, adding another clothing model to a virtual world is easy and that's a thing people are already into. Getting something like this to work in AR without looking jank as hell is an incredibly complex problem!
Thanks to depop sellers I can’t even afford to buy or FIND second hand clothes (disability assistance, I can’t order online), and some people are paying real life money for f a k e clothes? Being alive feels beyond lovecraftian at this point
Inb4 someone defends resellers… no. Also a lot of people legitimately consider going to a second hand store to be a DATE IDEA? Or just something to do when bored, or for DIY videos, a “new cheap outfit”, this stuff is hurting the people who are completely reliant on low income resources. If your stores aren’t getting emptied, be thankful
I get what you’re saying but I’ve never entered a thrift store and have it lacking clothing. Depop sellers aren’t great but let’s not act like there’s a shortage of donated clothing
I used to work in a thrift shop and resellers would snatch things out of employees and customer’s hands, load up a cart to keep it away from other customers l, unabashedly and publicly look up the resale value on items, and then put them back in the wrong spot if the profit margin isn’t high enough. They also stop employees carts mid-push, mess up the order of items the employee hasn’t put away yet, and in general make the employees (who are often hired through programs that help disabled people) jobs a lot harder
@@bunnyfrosting1744 Girly I like looking for clown dolls in the second-hand stores. Unless you know abt a dedicated clown shop you can't stop people from entering shit like Goodwill looking for things besides clothes. Also yes re-using things is good for the environment so whether low or high income is not the concern here.
I like the idea that a fashion group could photoshop their looks onto models so they can create looks that can’t be easily made in real life. The fact that they sell it and expect people to buy it is pretty ridiculous. Why do people have to ruin good ideas?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying 'if you can afford to' after talking about not buying fast fashion. As a Large Girl who is a Weird Shape, thrifting just isn't plausible for me most of the time in my area, and fast fashion allows me to buy cuter clothes if I want something pretty. in b4 'lose weight,' 'just do it anyway', etc -- no. Also, your editing is impeccable as always. (Here's looking at you, Corn Clothes)
To me this is the same kinda shit as switching to compostable plastic cups to "save the environment". Yes I guess it's marginally better for the environment, but it still promotes the same culture of overconsumption that is closer to the root of the problem. Do we really think this VR fashion concept deters people from wanting more clothing for social media? Or does it just feed that mentality which will still drive people to buy fast fashion?
Yeah like,, the fact that it says “don’t shop less, shop virtual” is SO telling. Overconsumption is a huge issue and so many companies/influencers/etc try to greenwash themselves while still promoting it.
Plus just buy less, having virtual clothes is not the same as the pleasure of styling a real outfit, and you can’t materially use them, while compostable plastic cups are actually useful
Overconsumption isn't the problem, companies literally dumping billions of gallons of oil into the ocean and millions of tons of CO2 into the air, and literally nothing happening, is the problem. Corporations could push for less consumption if they wanted to. We're just living in the paradigm provided.
@@stitchfinger7678 well, yes you’re right, but I think corporations are pushing the current culture of overconsumption/consumerism, and have benefited from it for a while. Obviously the average person isn’t to blame, but what can we do against a corporation, especially one that has made itself necessary in our (I’m speaking from a North American perspective btw) society? The only thing to do is consume less, and vote. Even buying green, if bought mindlessly, will cause excess waste and damage (and so many companies greenwash that green products likely aren’t as green as implied). Sometimes it’s just nice to do something easy to sleep at night. Like buying less, or using public transit. Nobody thinks that’ll save the world, or that it’s the only problem. Just that it’s *a* problem, and one of the only ones the average person can actually control. It doesn’t solve much, but apathy and a “no ethical consumption under capitalism, so why bother” attitude solves less. Idk I’m probably preaching to the choir here though.
How is producing compostable food items contributing to overconsumption lmao food is literally the ONE thing we will always need to consume daily. This example makes no sense
this is batshit crazy. but i kinda get how this could come to be, like just look at all the trendy articles of clothing that came out of 2022 alone. all for one instagram photo then went straight into the goodwill bin. some people do dress solely for a good shot nowadays
ya know, as a kid I was told the story of the emperor's new clothes and I thought that both the emperor and the merchant scamming him were idiots because I believed that there was no way anybody would actually be dumb enough to buy fake clothes...
"This feels like Where's Waldo if Waldo was 5 times bigger than everyone else and kept glitching off of the page." I laughed so hysterically hard the air left my body. I died. I am dead.
I don’t understand throwing clothes away, unless they’re past the point of no return. Like holes or ripped clothes, but you could reuse the fabric. So there’s no reason to throw them out. Not to mention you could give them to thrift stores or to younger siblings or cousins
I was really shocked discovering that people THROW AWAY their clothes. No one in my family does that. I was always taught to take good care of my belongings so they could be reused one day, which is what we do with our clothing aswell. If we dont give them to relatives/friends we either give them to charity or sell them for pretty cheap on ebay or vinted or something like that.
I don’t have pierced ears but I can wear earrings. They make clips you can attach to the earrings and they basically just clamp onto the ear a bit. They’re pretty cheap and widely available.
Safiya Nygaard made a video about this and it seems that what you're really paying for is for someone to photoshop the clothes into a picture of you. And you may think "cool, 110$ dress is pricey but at least I can get a few cool pics out of it" but no, that's 110$ per use. And you pay for each piece in the picture even if it's just one picture. I think Safiya also had a few pics turn out badly photoshopped and wasn't able to get them redone without paying again.
Back in my day, if you didn't have your ears pierced and you wanted to wear earrings, you used clip-ons or those bendy metal ones that kept falling off when they got tangled in your hair. Or you pierced your ears.
once you mentioned the nfts it really did become clear how much of a scam this is. like, i already knew it was a massive crappy scam, but wow theyre basically advertising that its even more of a scam with nfts. what a joke.
5:59 I'M SORRY, DID THAT SAY THAT DIGITAL CLOTHING PRODUCES 97% LESS CO2 THAN *ACTUAL CLOTHING* omfg it does, guess we all need to only look at eachother through digital apps now so we're not wasting energy on clothing /s
I think if they made them like $2.00 with more expensive options when they became popular (one of a kind or collabs or for charities) I would actually think it was a cool idea
The funny part is that clothes that really are environmentally-friendly, such as second-hand clothes, traditional local shops and some charity brands are many times cheaper than these scams. You can also take part in some initiatives to exchange clothes, like in swap stands or swap parties.
7:16 waldo is actually behind the tapestry, the one colored with pastel yellow, blue, and pink, which is near the lion (to the right of the giant waldo). the where's waldo art has always been so mesmerizing and snazzy, just interesting to see different stories and themes conveyed. it's usually harder for me to find waldo, but ima flex that i found him in mere seconds (not referring to the gargantuan waldo)
I really like the premise of virtual clothing solely for people to look cute in Instagram pictures, not actually out in real life. I feel like it would really eliminate waste.
I bet a service where they commission designs from people, then hire an artist to draw a portrait of you in that outfit would be more effective and cost less
THOSE CLOTHES LOOK RIDICULOUS 😂😂😂 maybe there's an upside on not getting those clothes physically bc what tf is happening with that 03:57 pillow mess omg imagine wearing that outside
dude i wear my moms shoes, clothes, childhood clothes and i spent an entire week unscrambling a used knitted sweater so my grandma could make a new one but some guy with a moustache or something makes nft clothing and tell me im a dumb f*** for not buying his "products" im jumping out the damn window
