Podcasts about cheap fashion

This episode was originally published on April 23, 2021 For updates on Elizabeth Cline's advocacy and policy work since this episode was recorded, go to her website at www.elizabethclinebooks.com Our guest this week is Elizabeth Cline, a New York-based author, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion, sustainability and labor rights in the apparel industry. She is the author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, which was published in 2012, and which laid the foundation for the modern global ethical and sustainable fashion movement. Her most recent book, The Conscious Closet, published in 2019, describes how consumers can transform the apparel industry and change the world for the better by making more informed decisions about what they wear every day. In this episode, Elizabeth inspires slow fashion enthusiasts to move beyond the response of merely modifying their purchasing decisions, to come together with other individuals in the wider community to impact policy change through social activism. Elizabeth discusses campaigns such as Pay Up Fashion for direct relief for garment workers that have not been paid by American companies during the pandemic, and the Garment Workers Protection Act that will provide minimum wage for garment workers in California. Elizabeth encourages consumers to embrace their civic right in bringing the malpractices and inequities of the fashion industry to light, holding brands accountable for their unethical practices and therefore affecting real change in this broken system. 1:30 - It's Fashion Revolution week! 10:00 - Elizabeth introduces herself 11:00 - Has there been much change in the last two decades in the fashion industry? 20:00 - Why are corporations not paying their factories? 28:00 - The problems in your own closet 38:00 - The PayUp Campaign  42:00 - What does The Good Dirt mean to you? 50:00 - How Farmers in West Texas inspired Elizabeth Things Mentioned: Fashion Revolution  Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Cline The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth Cline Lady Farmer Essential Collection Line and Tow Line at Lady Farmer Grace Brian The Twilight of the Ethical Consumer article PayUp Fashion SB 62 - The Garment Worker Protection Act Elizabeth Cline Instagram PayUp Fashion Instagram Greenwashing article for Patagonia Another Tomorrow The ALMANAC

Elizabeth Clines bok Overdressed: The Shockingly High Price of Cheap Fashion slog ner som en bomb i modeindustrin när den kom 2011. Den riktade strålkastaren mot snabbmodets konsekvenser. Det var en historia om exploatering av arbetare i fattiga länder, om kraftigt sjunkande relativpriser på kläder och en aldrig sinande prispress, om föroreningar och växande berg av textilavfall. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Vilka förändringar har haft störst påverkan? Vilka nya lagar och direktiv står vi inför? Hur kan företag arbeta med att förbättra arbetsvillkoren i fabrikerna? Vilka modeföretag gör bra ifrån sig? Är det möjligt att ställa sig utanför denna många gånger exploaterande struktur? Vad kan individer som du och jag göra?Trots att ämnet är tungt är samtalet hoppfullt.  Dessutom får vi höra historien bakom det framgångsrika #PayUp-initiativet och ta del av Remakes Accountability Report. Få industrier är så globala som just mode. I dagens avsnitt, liksom nästa, tittar vi närmare på konsekvenserna av denna globalisering. Intervjuade i avsnittet är Elizabeth Cline, författare till Overdressed: The Shockingly High Price of Cheap Fashion och lärare vid Columbia Climate School vid Columbia University, Tina Sendlhofer, forskare vid Stockholm Environment Institute och designern Angel Chang som är en slow fashion-förkämpe och gör kollektioner på den kinesiska landsbygden, helt utan elektricitet. Tack för att du lyssnar!

Can fashion be truly ethical if it's not inclusive? And what would it take for a fashion brand to actually achieve inclusivity? Kat Eves is a sustainable, ethical, and inclusive fashion stylist and the founder of Style Ethic. She talks about the challenges of finding plus-size clothes (and the even greater challenge of finding ethical and sustainable plus-size clothes), and suggests ways that fashion brands can better serve the 67% of American women who wear a size 14 or larger. Kat talks about fast fashion, overconsumption, and shares how reading Elizabeth Cline's book Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion inspired her to go from shopaholic to doing a shopping ban. She also talks about her favorite pieces in her closet, what's inspiring her right now, and what makes her feel optimistic about the future.  For show notes visit: https://www.swapsociety.co/pages/podcast

The price paid for a $12 swimsuit gets very expensive environmentally when you consider the landfills full of discarded clothing. But that hasn't stopped the demand. Wired contributing writer Vauhini Vara joins host Krys Boyd to discuss Shein, which owns 28-percent of the fast fashion market in the U.S., and how it's part of a more harmful “ultra-fast fashion” market that negatively impacts both environmental and labor practices. Her article is called “Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control: Inside Shein's Sudden Rise.”

“Clothing, Consumption, and the Christian Life” Clothes, we all own plenty of them, and they help define who we are. But why have clothes gotten so cheap? What is the story behind the clothes we wear? Where were they made? Who made them? And should we care? Josh and Betsy bring a Christian worldview to the topic of clothing and consumption. In this episode, you will find a critical analysis of fast fashion and some practical suggestions for those who want to bring their faith to bear on their wardrobe.

Local food vendor attack! Was it self defense? Or was it racial? Also is wrong that your entire outfit came from Walmart? From shirt to shoes? Let us find out...

Imagine this. In a hot, windowless room, young women are working side by side. They are workers in a factory in Bangladesh.1 Today they are making jackets. Together, they must sew hundreds of jackets every hour. That's more than 1,000 a day. Each of these women will take home less than $3 for a whole day of work. One week later, these same jackets will arrive in the United States. They will show up in stores, where you can buy one for $14.99. These jackets are one example of fast fashion. When we say “fast fashion,” we are talking about clothes that are made quickly and then sold at very cheap prices. These clothes cost so little that many people can buy new outfits whenever they want — and then throw them away when they go out of style. More than 150 billion new pieces of clothing are made every year! Fast fashion may be cheap, but it has a dark side. Today, millions of people work in clothing factories called sweatshops. Many of these people live in China, Bangladesh, and other developing countries. These garment workers earn just a few dollars a day. And many of them are children or teenagers! In these factories, it is easy to get sick and to get hurt. Garment workers use dangerous chemicals to create and dye clothes. If they dare miss a day because they are sick, they might lose their job. Many people did not think about how their clothing was made until April 24, 2013. That is the day the Rana Plaza factory building in Bangladesh collapsed. The factory had too many floors, too many workers, and too many machines. This accident killed and injured thousands of workers. After the accident, many big clothing companies promised to do things differently. They trained two million workers on how to work safely. They brought in engineers to check their factories. The fashion industry is the world's second-largest polluter! Here are a few reasons why: 1. Clothes are made using toxic chemicals. Dangerous gases are released into the air when certain materials (such as polyester) are created. 2. In the United States, 25% of all pesticides are used on cotton farms. Some of these pesticides can cause asthma and other health problems. Chemicals from these farms pollute fresh water! 3. The average American throws away more than 70 pounds of clothes every year. Most of this clothing is burned or left in a landfill, where it can take hundreds of years to break down. The industry uses up a lot of natural resources. For example, it takes 1,800 gallons of water to make enough cotton for one pair of jeans. That is the same as 105 showers! People are starting to see the ugly side of fast fashion. They are learning more about how their clothes are made. And the clothing industry is starting to respond. In the United States, many small companies are creating clothes out of recycled or organic fabrics. Other larger companies are encouraging customers to recycle unwanted clothing. Everyone must play a role. Learn more about how your clothes are made and think carefully about what you buy. It can make a real difference. Questions: Think about how making cheap clothes puts people and the environment in danger. Does this make you want to change how you and your parents shop? If so, how? The author says that everyone must play a role to create change in this situation. What role can you play? How can you teach other people to help make a difference?

Listen as we talk with Elizabeth Cline, author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion and THE CONSCIOUS CLOSET: The Revolutionary Guide to Looking Good While Doing Good, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion and sustainability. Elizabeth shares smart insights on secondhand clothing markets, textile waste and recycling, the possible impacts of coronavirus on the fashion industry and more. #NothingWastedPodcast

In this episode, Xoel Cardenas and Yvette Cruz discuss the world of fast fashion. Inspired by an episode of Netflix’s "Patriot Act," the two get a wake-up call on the subject and its negative consequences. They share their own faults and potential solutions.

Elizabeth L. Cline is a journalist, public speaker, and the author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, and the much-anticipated follow-up book, The Conscious Closet: A Revolutionary Guide to Looking Good While Doing Good. Her writing has appeared in The Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, The Nation, and The New Yorker, among others. She is an expert on fashion industry waste, runs a clothing resale business, and is the director of research and reuse at Wearable Collections, one of New York City’s largest used-clothing collectors. She lives in Brooklyn with her partner.

In episode 181, Kestrel welcomes New York-based author, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion, sustainability and labor rights, Elizabeth Cline, back to the show. You may already know of Elizabeth from her widely read book, Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion; and she recently released a follow-up book called The Conscious Closet: A Revolutionary Guide to Looking Good While Doing Good. “The book in a lot of ways is very informed by moving away from fast fashion — so, really remembering that clothing is not a disposable good, because it just requires too many resources and too much energy to create.” - Elizabeth Cline, Author of Overdressed + The Conscious Closet On this week’s show, Elizabeth shares with us what she’s been working on, as well as her perspective on how much the fashion industry has shifted, since the last time she was on the show, almost 4 years ago. Kestrel + Elizabeth dive into some of the inspiration and details about her new book, The Conscious Closet. For Elizabeth, a lot of what drove the direction for her new book was her education on the secondhand market globally, and how clothing cannot be considered a disposable product. Also, in this chat, Elizabeth reveals some of her favorite ways to personally build a conscious closet. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: “I understand the power of personal style because of conscious fashion, not in spite of it.” “And over time, it became more about, ‘wait — if we question the industrial food system, then the result of that, is that we also get to rebuild our food culture,’ and that is what’s happening with fashion — we are deciding as a community that clothing can be about more than mindless consumption and chasing the lowest price and buying whatever companies tell us to buy.” The Buyerarchy Of Needs by Sarah Lazarovic Some of Elizabeth’s favorite places to shop secondhand online: Poshmark, thredUp + The RealReal LA FRIENDS | Get Tickets for The Conscious Closet event featuring Elizabeth Cline at The Helms Design Center on October 27th from 2-4pm

In honor of the San Francisco Green Film Festival, we are covering a handful of outstanding documentaries, new films that are as brilliantly produced as they are critical to know as they are – hopefully – shaping our society and our way of life. We are starting today with Riverblue - a close look at the unbelievable environmental implications of fast and cheap fashion. The destruction is so extreme, overwhelming, and so visible, that even our show title, usually a hopeful note, speaks of the insane conditions in which the world produces garments. Host Helge Hellberg is interviewing both the Director and Producer of Riverblue in this week's episode. Guest: David McIlvride, Writer and Director, Riverblue Roger Williams, Producer and Director, Riverblue

How can we combat the waste that is plaguing the fashion industry? New York-based journalist and author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, Elizabeth Cline rejoins Kate to discuss fashion waste, industry fixes and how to reclaim our love of fashion.

It's Climate Week in NYC, guest Elizabeth Cline, author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion will join to discuss the role of cheap fashion on the environment, plus her current project(s) and what you can do to change.

A trendy outfit has never been cheaper than it is today. Not only that, the fashion industry is churning out new styles so quickly that the entire phenomenon has been dubbed fast fashion. The industry includes retailers like H&M, Forever 21, Zara, and even Target and Walmart. Of course, it’s only natural that we love finding the latest styles at affordable prices. But our clothes have abundant hidden costs for both the environment and people. This week, producer Leslie Chang takes a closer look at the footprint left behind by the fast-moving fashion industry. We hear from journalist Elizabeth Cline, author of ‘Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion,’ as well as UMass Dartmouth Asst. Prof. Nick Anguelov, author of ‘The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry: Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society.’

So many of us are careful consumers and stewards of the earth. We make sure to recycle, we purchase locally sourced—even organic—foods, and check products for BPA and red dye, but we often pay less attention to where our clothing comes from, who produces it, and what it's made of. Today, the co-hosts respond to Episode 45: The Management, Organization, & Coordination of Stuff and Why We'd Rather Eat Pie, in which Leslie and Tesi interview Jennie Barnds and discuss our consumer habits and the physical "stuff" that we all have so much of. The women talk about the KonMari Method of decluttering and take it a step further by exploring our spiritual relationship to physical things. In Episode 46, Tesi and Leslie continue the conversation and discuss Leslie's extreme response to a fantastic book.  Published in 2012, Over-Dressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. Cline inspired Leslie to engage on a yearlong clothing fast. The women spend time talking about what she learned and offering tips to listeners who might be encouraged to take back the power of the purse and make big or small changes that impact their closets, peace of mind, and, ultimately, the world we live in.

As society transitions to more healthier choices for food, natural body care, and greener transportation, one area of daily life remaining largely unchanged is our clothing. This hour looks at the social, environmental, and economic costs of the apparel industry and ways we can start improving lives everywhere with the choices we make today.Guest(s):Elizabeth Cline, Author, Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, Brooklyn, NY

This episode was originally published on April 23, 2021 For updates on Elizabeth Cline's advocacy and policy work since this episode was recorded, go to her website at www.elizabethclinebooks.com Our guest this week is Elizabeth Cline, a New York-based author, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion, sustainability and labor rights in the apparel industry. She is the author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, which was published in 2012, and which laid the foundation for the modern global ethical and sustainable fashion movement. Her most recent book, The Conscious Closet, published in 2019, describes how consumers can transform the apparel industry and change the world for the better by making more informed decisions about what they wear every day. In this episode, Elizabeth inspires slow fashion enthusiasts to move beyond the response of merely modifying their purchasing decisions, to come together with other individuals in the wider community to impact policy change through social activism. Elizabeth discusses campaigns such as Pay Up Fashion for direct relief for garment workers that have not been paid by American companies during the pandemic, and the Garment Workers Protection Act that will provide minimum wage for garment workers in California. Elizabeth encourages consumers to embrace their civic right in bringing the malpractices and inequities of the fashion industry to light, holding brands accountable for their unethical practices and therefore affecting real change in this broken system. 1:30 - It's Fashion Revolution week! 10:00 - Elizabeth introduces herself 11:00 - Has there been much change in the last two decades in the fashion industry? 20:00 - Why are corporations not paying their factories? 28:00 - The problems in your own closet 38:00 - The PayUp Campaign  42:00 - What does The Good Dirt mean to you? 50:00 - How Farmers in West Texas inspired Elizabeth Things Mentioned: Fashion Revolution  Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Cline The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth Cline Lady Farmer Essential Collection Line and Tow Line at Lady Farmer Grace Brian The Twilight of the Ethical Consumer article PayUp Fashion SB 62 - The Garment Worker Protection Act Elizabeth Cline Instagram PayUp Fashion Instagram Greenwashing article for Patagonia Another Tomorrow The ALMANAC
