John chat to Michael Lawrence, Executive Director at the National Clothing Retail Federation, about the new taxes on Temu and Shien, and if this will level the playing field for local companies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a person of color, I felt this painfully myself.” “作为一个有色人种，我自己也深有体会。”Musandu said he is seeing a demand for his services, but his product is designed to supplement traditional photography not replace it. The goal is to help a buyer make better decisions and reduce product returns and waste.Musandu 表示，他看到了对其服务的需求，但他的产品旨在补充传统摄影，而不是取代它。 目标是帮助买家做出更好的决策并减少产品退货和浪费。In addition, he said, the company creates new jobs for computer programmers, who train the systems that create the models.此外，他说，该公司还为计算机程序员创造了新的就业机会，他们训练创建模型的系统。“If brands are serious about inclusion efforts, they will continue to hire these models of color,” Musandu said.“如果品牌认真对待包容性努力，他们将继续雇用这些有色人种模特，”穆桑杜说。Others in the fashion industry are fully using AI. Cameron Wilson is a former fashion photographer who started a company in Britain called The Diigitals. Wilson, who is white, designed a Black, female model named Shudu in 2017. Wilson was criticized for creating a Black model. But Shudu was used in jobs for companies like Louis Vuitton and BMW. It also helped the human model Alexsandrah. She has worked in fashion shows as a real-life version of the AI model.时尚界的其他人正在充分利用人工智能。 卡梅伦·威尔逊 (Cameron Wilson) 是一位前时尚摄影师，他在英国创办了一家名为 The Diigitals 的公司。 威尔逊是白人，他在 2017 年设计了一位名为 Shudu 的黑人女模特。威尔逊因创造黑人模特而受到批评。 但 Shudu 曾在路易威登和宝马等公司工作过。 它还帮助了人体模型亚历山德拉。 她曾作为现实版的人工智能模特参加时装秀。Alexsandrah said she is proud of her work that has come from The Diigitals. “The future generations can look back at and be like, ‘These are the pioneers,'” she said.Alexsandrah 表示她对 The Diigitals 的作品感到自豪。 “子孙后代回顾过去时会说，‘他们是先驱者'，”她说。Other models are not feeling so good about AI. Yve Edmond works as a “fit model.” She tries on clothes for companies who want to see how their designs fit a real person. She worries that the AI modeling companies are using images and videos of real people to train their systems. She calls that a violation because humans are not being paid for their part in the technology.其他模型对人工智能的感觉不太好。 伊夫·埃德蒙 (Yve Edmond) 是一名“试衣模特”。 她为那些想看看自己的设计是否适合真人的公司试穿衣服。 她担心人工智能建模公司正在使用真人的图像和视频来训练他们的系统。 她称这是一种违规行为，因为人类在技术中的贡献并没有得到报酬。Edmond said she was called for a photo session, but there were no new clothes. She was asked to move her body in certain ways and walk for a recording. The client said it was “research.” Edmond said she felt “swindled.”埃德蒙说，她被要求拍照，但没有新衣服。 她被要求以某种方式移动身体并步行进行录音。 客户说这是“研究”。 埃德蒙说她感觉“被骗了”。Unlike film actors and writers, who went on strike to protest the use of AI without a legal agreement, there are no similar labor groups for models.与电影演员和作家在没有法律协议的情况下罢工抗议人工智能的使用不同，模特界没有类似的劳工组织。Ziff, of Model Alliance, is pushing for labor laws for fashion workers. The state of New York is working on the Fashion Workers Act. The law would include laws related to models who are used in AI. A model would need to give written permission to a company that planned to use AI to create a computer image of the model. The contract would show the pay rate and the length of time that the replica could be used.模特联盟的齐夫正在推动针对时尚工人的劳动法。 纽约州正在制定《时装工人法案》。 该法律将包括与人工智能中使用的模型相关的法律。 模型需要向计划使用人工智能创建模型的计算机图像的公司提供书面许可。 合同将显示复制品的付费率和使用期限。For AI and the fashion business, it is still early. Ziff compared it to a time of lawlessness in the early American West. Alexsandrah said she believes AI is helping her career—with the right rules. But Edmond is not so sure about AI.对于人工智能和时尚行业来说，现在还为时过早。 齐夫将其与美国西部早期无法无天的时期进行了比较。 Alexsandrah 表示，她相信人工智能正在通过正确的规则帮助她的职业生涯。 但埃德蒙对人工智能不太确定。She said Earth has “a person of every shade, every height, every size. Why not find that person and compensate that person?”她说地球上有“各种肤色、各种身高、各种体型的人。 为什么不找到那个人，补偿那个人呢？”

Alexsandrah is a fashion model in London. She has a twin.Alexsandrah 是伦敦的一名时装模特。 她有一个双胞胎。But her twin is not her sister.但她的双胞胎不是她的妹妹。The twin is a product of Artificial Intelligence, or AI.这对双胞胎是人工智能（AI）的产物。Whenever Alexsandrah is not available to work with a photographer, the virtual twin takes her place.每当 Alexsandrah 无法与摄影师合作时，虚拟双胞胎就会取代她的位置。When a company chooses to use the AI Alexsandrah, the real-life version gets paid. Alexsandrah said her AI twin is exactly like her.当一家公司选择使用人工智能 Alexsandrah 时，现实生活中的版本就会获得报酬。 Alexsandrah 说她的人工智能双胞胎和她一模一样。Alexandrah's twin is an example of how computer images are influencing creative industries.亚历山德拉的双胞胎是计算机图像如何影响创意产业的一个例子。Those in favor of using AI in fashion say the virtual models permit companies to show possible buyers how their clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes. In the real world, it would be difficult and costly to find a model for every skin color and body shape.那些支持在时尚界使用人工智能的人表示，虚拟模特可以让公司向潜在买家展示他们的衣服穿在各种身材和体型的人身上是什么样子。 在现实世界中，找到适合每种肤色和体型的模特既困难又昂贵。The companies that make clothing say using AI prevents people from buying their products, trying them on at home, and then sending them back if they dislike them. The problem is that AI models can take work away from human models, makeup artists and photographers.服装制造公司表示，使用人工智能可以防止人们购买他们的产品，在家试穿，如果不喜欢就将其退回。 问题在于人工智能模型可能会抢走真人模特、化妆师和摄影师的工作。The fashion industry has often been criticized for using models who are only white or tall or who fit one idea of beauty. Activists for including many groups in fashion say some companies could seem like they are employing minorities when they are just using AI models.时尚界经常因使用白人或高个子模特或符合一种审美观念的模特而受到批评。 支持将许多时尚群体纳入其中的活动人士表示，一些公司在使用人工智能模型时可能看起来像是在雇佣少数群体。Sara Ziff is a former fashion model who started Model Alliance, a nonprofit group for workers' rights in the fashion industry. Ziff said the use of AI shows there is a difference between the industry's words and its actions.萨拉·齐夫 (Sara Ziff) 是一名前时装模特，她创办了模特联盟 (Model Alliance)，这是一个致力于时尚行业工人权利的非营利组织。 Ziff 表示，人工智能的使用表明该行业的言行之间存在差异。Levi Strauss is an American clothing company known for its blue jeans. In March 2023, the company said it would be testing AI-generated models from a company in Amsterdam. The aim was to show how its clothing fit people of all sizes. But after criticism, the company said it would not reduce its use of human models.李维斯 (Levi Strauss) 是一家美国服装公司，以其蓝色牛仔裤而闻名。 2023 年 3 月，该公司表示将测试阿姆斯特丹一家公司的人工智能生成模型。 目的是展示其服装如何适合各种身材的人。 但在受到批评后，该公司表示不会减少人体模型的使用。Levi Strauss said it would not “substitute” AI for action toward its “diversity, equity and inclusion goals.”李维·施特劳斯表示，它不会“取代”人工智能来实现其“多元化、公平和包容性目标”。The Associated Press (AP) recently asked some clothing businesses to state their position on the use of AI models. AP asked Target, Kohls, Nieman Marcus, Walmart and Macys. It also asked international companies Temu, Shein and H&M. Some chose not to answer. Others said they do not use AI models. Walmart said it does not use AI models but “suppliers may have a different approach to photography.”美联社（AP）最近要求一些服装企业表明他们对使用人工智能模型的立场。 美联社询问了塔吉特、科尔斯、尼曼·马库斯、沃尔玛和梅西百货。 它还询问了国际公司 Temu、Shein 和 H&M。 有些人选择不回答。 其他人则表示他们不使用人工智能模型。 沃尔玛表示，它不使用人工智能模型，但“供应商可能有不同的摄影方法。”Lalaland.ai creates AI models. Michael Musandu started the company. Musandu grew up in Africa and studied in the Netherlands. He started the company when he saw that not many models looked like him – Black and African.Lalaland.ai 创建人工智能模型。 迈克尔·穆桑杜 (Michael Musandu) 创办了这家公司。 穆桑杜在非洲长大，在荷兰学习。 当他发现没有多少模特像他一样——黑人和非洲人时，他创办了这家公司。“One model does not represent everyone that's actually shopping and buying a product,” he said. “一个模型并不能代表所有实际购物和购买产品的人，”他说。

In this unique episode of Tukatalks, Ram Sareen shares some of his personal health journey, his philosophy when starting Tukatech, and why he believes that family owned businesses are more resilient than public companies. Toward the end, Sareen shares clips submitted by Tukatech employees sharing how they have grown during their time with the company.Ram Sareen started his fashion technology company, Tukatech, after a short-lived early retirement. At age 45, he'd had a cardiac arrest on a dentist's chair due to excessive anesthesia. He was declared dead, but was miraculously revived. With this second chance came a new perspective on life, people, and the reality that one day we all will leave this world. He decided to leave corporate America and retire early.Just a few months into retirement, Sareen became restless from boredom. He knew he needed more than a life of leisure. He wanted to create something that made a difference, and thus Tukatech was born.Sareen started Tukatech as a passion project, and was determined to avoid the common pitfalls of public companies. Tukatech remains a private, family-owned business to this day. This has given Sareen the ability to run his company his way, and to prioritize the development of his team over quarterly profit goals. This decision recently proved to be a wise one.About 30 years later, in early 2024, Ram Sareen went in for a medical check up before a planned trip to Asia. The doctors discovered multiple blocked arteries in his heart, indicating a looming "silent heart attack," miraculously caught just in time to operate and repair the blockages.Sareen was not allowed to work during nearly 2 months of recovery. Tukatech, however, continued operating and supporting users from all over the world. Some CEOs like to brag that nothing gets done without them. For Sareen, however, this trial proved that no matter what happens to him, his team is what makes Tukatech resilient.If you love Tukatalks, please leave us a five star review on Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On the 30th episode of Enterprise Software Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Alan Boehme, Former CTO at H&M, Procter & Gamble, and former CIO at The Coca-Cola Company. For over 20 years, Alan has led technology teams at some of the world's most recognizable brands. He has a wealth of insights into how next-generation technology can transform customer experiences and improve business processes. In this conversation, Alan shares how H&M uses technology for sustainability, his insights into the ways startups can best collaborate with enterprises, and details about how smart mirrors piloted at H&M are now in use at both H&M and COS to enhance the customer experience.Editor's note: This episode was recorded in 2022 when Alan was still CTO of H&MQuick hits from Alan:On leveraging data locked in clothing tags to enhance customer experience: “There's a lot of RFID data locked in tags on garments. We decided to lift the data out of our core warehousing systems and we created a data layer in the store that now mimics what's in the warehouse. By using 5G readers embedded in the ceiling and RFID readers in the walls, we can get 99% accuracy of everything that's in the store at the same time. When you pick a garment up and walk around the store, we know which are going into the fitting rooms and which ones are being left behind. Which ones are being tried on which ones are being returned to the rack. We can create an experience for you with a mirror [using that data]. By lifting the data out and making it available using artificial intelligence and machine learning, it becomes more predictive.”On the global nature of innovation: “The way we have to look at innovation is that it comes from anywhere and everywhere in a corporation and around the world. It's not bound by any geography anymore.”On how startups and corporations can best collaborate: “Corporations tend to define their problems too tightly and they're looking for specific solutions; [doing so] loses the creativity of the startups. You lose the intellectual capital that the startups bring, on top of their technology and services if you try to focus them too much. [As a startup], you want to present a business problem, and instead of telling [a corporation] how to solve it, ask them what they can bring to the table in order to make it work and make it solvable.”Recent Book Recommendation: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by R “Ray” Wang--Like what you hear?

Madi Leigh is a passionate make-up artist, and entrepreneur, and has given us the gift of an incredible conversation on the most thought-provoking and challenging topic of size inclusivity in the fashion and clothing industry. Being a plus-size person, she gives us a glimpse into her experiences of finding clothes that fit, the challenges of the changing rooms, the discrimination of the industry that clothes us all and her take on why it is the way it is.

The clothing industry is the last trillion-dollar sector that hasn't been fully automated.  Many apparel makers have also been hesitant to talk about automation because of the ramifications and possible loss of jobs.  Still, there is a quiet effort underway to develop machines that can automate some parts of jeans factories and hopefully bring more manufacturing back from overseas.  Tim Aeppel, reporter at Reuters, joins us for how robots are coming for your blue jeans.   Next, as more of Gen Z enters the workplace and communications increasingly happen online and in text formats, something is getting lost in translation.  Older colleges are having a hard time keeping up with Gen Z's use of emojis, slang, and even punctuation. Danielle Abril, “Tech at Work” writer at for the Washington Post, joins us for how workplace language is changing with younger employees.   Finally, when is a bumblebee a fish?  When a unanimous ruling by a California state appeals court deems it so.  Public-interest groups had asked the state to include four types of bumblebees on its list of endangered species, but the 50-year-old law only applied to birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, or reptiles.  Because the legal definition of a fish was vague and had been used to include other animals in separate instances, the bee was added to the list. Matt Grossman, reporter at the WSJ, joins us for the legal wrangling it took to get there.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*** Show Notes ***Brand Crowd: https://www.brandcrowd.com/apparelsuccessThe Clothing Brand Marketing System: www.clothingbrandmarketing.com.In this episode of Apparel Success, Rob shares 5 tips for how to start a clothing brand and make it look more legit. Creating a successful private label print on demand or inventory based clothing brand involves establishing credibility and trust. Most new clothing brand startups don't use the most effective marketing strategies to sell their clothing. Instagram marketing and TikTok marketing efforts will ONLY work if your clothing business clearly expressed identity, has social proof, and has a high quality looking website. Social media marketing becomes relatively easy when these foundational components of your clothing brand are sorted out. This info applies to your clothing brand, clothing line, fashion brand, fashion line, streetwear brand, streetwear line, t shirt business, print on demand (POD), dropshipping and beyond!

Clare Richardson from Extinction Rebellion Fashion Action (XR Fashion Action) shares why she became a fashion activist, how fashion is often overlooked in the broader climate crisis conversation and why Extinction Rebellion chose to focus on clothing, the apparel industry's inextricable ties to colonialism, what it means to be "anti-fashion," and what people can do to help make positive change. XR Fashion Action is a decentralized activist group pushing for radical system change within the fashion industry. XR Fashion Action is a sister organization to Extinction Rebellion and uses non-violent civil disobedience to bring about a transition to a fashion model that does not rely on the exploitation of people and the planet.

In Worn: A People's History of Clothing, author Sofi Thanhauser looks at the story of clothing through five essential textiles: linen, cotton, silk, synthetics, and wool.

In episode 1 of Pivit Points, Matt & Bennett give a brief introduction and talk about how the clothing industry has changed in the new world. New episodes every week!

In her new book “Unraveled: The Life and Death of a Garment,” author and sustainability advocate Maxine Bédat explores the complex world of how clothes end up on our bodies. While clothing has become cheaper and more plentiful overall, the clothing industry’s productivity comes at a great cost to garment workers and the environment, Bédat argues. By chronicling the life cycle of a garment, from cotton seed to a finished pair of jeans, Bédat demonstrates the need to rethink our obsession with “fast fashion,” low prices and overstuffed closets.

Tamara Szames, Industry adviser for Canadian retail at the NPD Group in Toronto talks about Canadians buying jeans again!  Is the clothing industry ready for a pandemic comeback? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Alec and Ren take a look at the clothing industry, (not within Ren’s circle of competence) but a fascinating industry all the same. The world consumes five times the amount of clothing it did twenty years ago, and approximately 80 billion new pieces of clothing are produced every single year. In Australia, the market size alone is $16 billion, and 24 333 businesses are involved in the industry.

The clothing and textiles industry is among the world's worst carbon-emitters - now the government is being urged to consider bringing textile recycling within its product stewardship scheme. Currently six products have been designated as a priority, including: plastic packaging, tyres, e-waste, agrichemicals, refrigerants and farm plastics. The fashion industry contributes 10 per cent of annual global carbon emissions - that's more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. And over 80 per cent of what we wear ends up at landfill here in New Zealand - or about 220,000 tonnes. Usedfully is a textile reuse company pushing for natural textile waste like cotton, linen and wool to be dealt with just like other organic material like paper, food and garden waste. Kathryn is joined by co-founder and creative director Bernadette Casey.

If you thought PK Beans $BEAN is just a children's clothes retailer, you'd better think again. Whereas children's clothes retailers simply stack, rack and sell on volume, $BEAN is bringing the kind of innovation to the space that we once saw from the likes of Apple. Just as Apple did back in the day, $BEAN is creating a complete experience out of their products that includes the use of Augmented Reality stories with characters that carry great messages while showcasing their products. More than just a cool idea, $BEAN innovation is creating some eye-popping KPI's in it's very early pivot such as: 10,000 customers 62% returning customer rate $29 on every $1 of ad spend 18,000 + orders in 2020 55% increase in online visitors $1.5M + in 2020 sales .... and much more Beyond Augmented Reality, $BEAN has also incorporated a second-hand resale and sustainable initiative that, combined with the fact it is Canada's only public company with a board dominated by women, is quickly becoming a great ESG company. Why is that important? ESG investing (Environmental, social and corporate governance) is a very big trend in the United States, where BEAN is expanding to next!

Would you feel different about the way you buy clothes?Listen to this episode for an honest look at the ways fast fashion—pumping out a near endless supply of inexpensive clothing that isn’t exactly built to last—has destroyed the way clothing is made, sold, and digested by the Earth. It’s not pretty...but it’s worth knowing. And our guest, style writer Dana Thomas, has all the insight you need.You might never think of the apparel industry the same way again. Fair warning.

Fashion journalist Dana Thomas, author of the book “Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes,” discusses how the pandemic promotes a more conscious approach to dressing, why overproduction remains the clothing industry’s biggest problem, and the environmental damage caused by the binge-and-purge cycle of “fashion bulimia.”

Last week, we heard from Liz Rickett, co-founder of the OR Foundation, and we had a conversation that I hope brought some nuance to your understanding of the global second-hand industry, including the industry in Accra, Ghana.  Today we’re joined by four Ghanians: David, Sammy, Yayra and Kwamena. All have different stories to tell in the second-hand sphere. First up, you’ll hear from David Adams. David’s family has run a second-hand clothing business in Kantamanto Market in Ghana for over thirty years. After finishing his degree, David took the helm of the business in 2014. He told us a bit about his business at Kantamanto, and what his day-to-day as a reseller looks like. Since David’s family has been in this industry for so long, I also wanted to get his perspective on how things have changed in the last 30 years. You’ll hear all this and more coming up on the show. Then, we have Sammy. Sammy is graduate of Radford University of Fashion, and today he’s a fashion designer and member of the Board of Fashion Ghana. His sustainable streetwear brand utilizes upcycled clothing from Kantamanto Market. Finally, we have Yayra and Kwamena of The Revival and Afro District. These two are vintage wizards. They have spent years sourcing gems from Kantamanto for resale, repair, upcycling and styling. Over the last year they have focused their efforts on promoting a culture of upcycling using clothing that cannot be sold in Kantamanto. Let’s hear from them now Let’s dive right in!

Finding out what this planet has to offer. Allan and Julie met over a VW Van - his, to be honest. He'd pieced it together from two or three old vans. She loved it, and found him to be equally engaging and exciting. She hopped in, swooned by his kiss and promise of adventure, and off they went to travel the world and create beauty together. (corny but true)20 years (and several vans) later, they are still jumping off cliffs. The most recent being the creation of Kaikuna, a clothing company founded with the simple goals of following passions, supporting the betterment of a healthy planet, and giving back.Wear Ever You Go: Be yourself. Live well. Give from within and let good things boomerang back. Globally Inspired, Locally Made Active WearBased in Santa Clara, California, Kaikuna offers you “Made in California” travel friendly and functional active wear: Top quality, easy to care for, and versatile.  Mindful Manufacturing: Their initial goal is to supply made in the USA garments that give you an opportunity to directly support the American economy and revitalize work for local tradespeople and artisans. Kaikuna creates their garments with local San Francisco, California labor.  Kaikuna also works to support the growth of more environmentally healthy Textile and Clothing Industry practices. They intentionally research and use components made locally and organically whenever available and promote like-minded clothing manufacturers.Kaikuna gives you an opportunity to choose more ethically manufactured products. They are thrilled to be contributing to 1% For The Planet.

My sleepwear business Lauren Curtis Lounge has been up and running since September 2018. It's my first business outside of YouTube, and while I knew it would be a challenging endeavour, I didn't realise just HOW challenging. Reece (my boyfriend and co-founder) and I have learnt SO. MANY. LESSONS. in the past year and a half (most of them the hard - and expensive - way), and so I wanted to share our experiences with you guys. Who knows, maybe you're thinking of starting a small business or perhaps you've already started and you just feel like you're in your head about where it's at and where you think it should be. Or, maybe it will make you feel better about mistakes that you've made that you're still beating yourself up about. Whatever the reason, I hope it helps you to realise that although I'm calling them mistakes for the sake of the podcast, I really don't consider them mistakes because we both learnt from them. That's what business is - trying something, seeing if it fails or succeeds, then learning from the failure or trying to prolong the success. Lauren Curtis Lounge is currently holding an up to 60% off Valentine's Day sale too, so if you'd like to try our brand now's the time! You can find our website here.

Fast fashion focuses on speed and low cost delivering new ‘collections' of clothing for every season of every year inspired by the latest catwalk looks or celebrity styles. But this low-cost, disposable way of buying clothes is having an impact on the environment. This often includes growing the cotton (land use and chemicals), huge amounts of freshwater use, toxic chemicals in the manufacturing process and the impact of endless clothes filling landfills. Rapanui is a clothing company that has always had the environment at the center of their business, using renewable energy, organic cotton and recycling all the water they use. And their latest idea is a circular economy t-shirt which can be sent back over and over cutting down many of the environmental impacts of disposable fashion. In this interview I speak to one of the two brothers who founded the business Mark Drake-Knight about the company, this product and the exciting idea of Tee-Mill a platform they created which helps anyone set up a circular economy fashion brand.

Upcycling of clothing industry with Kirsten Koch

Rodaba and Mehrana interview Ms. Safia about her decision to start a business in the clothing industry.

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.

This story has gone on to become the journal’s most popular article of all time. Author Luz Claudio tells host Ashley Ahearn about the inspiration for "Waste Couture," why this story has captured so much attention, and changes she has seen in fashion since its publication.
