Hello! What are we actually doing? Our unwanted clothes don't belong dumped in Chile's beautiful Atacama Desert...Everyone knows reasons why the global north exports used clothing to the global south - it's because fashion is too fast, quality is too low, volumes are too high, and for rich countries it's often cheaper to export your problem than it is to deal with it onshore. But even if that wasn't the case, even if you had a big dream and deep pockets, that horse has bolted - the system at scale today is about global trade.Certainly, some of it is a reuse stream, some of it does get re-worn and recycled. Also sorted, processed and re-exported. But the fact is, too many of of these clothes become unsustainable waste that, once they reach their final destination, escape into the environment and pollute Nature and communities.According to the UN, about 40% of the clothes imported through Chile's Iquique free trade zone in the northern Atacama, have no value in the local second-hand clothing market and cannot be re-exported. Many end up dumped in the desert.In our annual Fashion Revolution ep, we meet the activists and creatives behind a genius campaign - Recommerce Atacama. Bastian Barria and Angela Astudillo from Desierto Vestido have joined forces with creative agency Art Plan, ecommerce platform Vtex, and Fashion Revolution Brazil to sell these clothes back to where they come from. The price? Zero dollars. The slogan: "Don't buy, rescue!"Clare sits down with Fernanda Simon and Paula Lagrotta to unpack the issues.More info at thewardrobecrisis.comTell us what you think?

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

O que você está vestindo hoje? Já se perguntou de onde vem a sua camisa, o seu sapato ou o seu acessório? Quando falamos de roupas, falamos também de ar, solo, sistemas produtivos, água e outros impactos ambientais. Para aprofundar no tema e entender melhor toda a problemática, Paulina Chamorro conversa com Fernanda Simon, diretora-executiva do Fashion Revolution Brasil e colunista de moda e sustentabilidade na Vogue. Ela conta como surgiu o Fashion Revolution Brasil e traz atualizações importantes sobre a ação realizada no Deserto do Atacama (Chile), onde o movimento tem atuado em prol de reverter o número assustador de 39 mil toneladas de roupas descartadas em pleno deserto. Muitas delas, inclusive, nunca foram utilizadas. Saiba isso e muito mais nesse episódio do Vozes do Planeta que começa agora!

Marki fast fashion błyskawicznie kopiują trendy z wybiegów i dostarczają je do sklepów w rekordowym czasie, zachęcając konsumentów do częstych zakupów. Kolejna nowa kurteczka czy niepotrzebny, ale śliczny sweterek, kuszą atrakcyjnym designem i niską ceną, która z kolei jest wypadkową – tanich materiałów, niskiej jakości wykonania i intensywnej eksploatacji siły roboczej (najczęściej z krajów rozwijających się). Efekt? Nadprodukcja odpadów, zanieczyszczenie wód i gigantyczny ślad węglowy, czyli wszystko, co wiąże się z nadmiernym konsumpcjonizmem, o skutkach psychologiczno-społecznych nie wspominając. Jak wygląda cykl życia ubrań z sieciówek? Czy jesteśmy świadomi ekologicznych konsekwencji szybkiej mody? Jak działa recykling ubrań i czy rzeczywiście pomaga środowisku? Czym jest greenwashing i kiedy marki nadużywają haseł o ekologii? Co jest lepsze – kupować mniej, czy inwestować w recykling? Jakie rozwiązania systemowe pomogłyby ograniczyć odpady tekstylne? Co może zrobić konsument? Jak wybierać ubrania, by mniej szkodzić środowisku i co robić z tymi niechcianymi? O tym wszystkim opowiedzą ekspertki od zrównoważonego rozwoju w branży tekstylnej – Ewelina Antonowicz i Agnieszka Wąsowska-Telęga, pod czujnym okiem podcasterki, wykładowczyni, pasjonatki kultury Małgosi Zmaczyńskiej. Strefa Kultur Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt, w którym wraz z zaproszonymi gośćmi omawiamy różne elementy otaczającej nas kultury, a także przybliżamy realia, zjawiska i obyczaje obecne w innych krajach. Do udziału w tym przedsięwzięciu zaprosiliśmy ekspertów z różnych dziedzin: filologów, językoznawców, kulturoznawców, medioznawców, dziennikarzy, socjologów i politologów. Założeniem projektu jest udostępnienie rzetelnej wiedzy wszystkim zainteresowanym tą tematyką – niezależnie od czasu i miejsca, w jakim się znajdują.

Pojem fast fashion alebo rýchla móda je v súčasnosti veľmi spomínaný. Ide o výrobu oblečenia, ktorá nie je nákladná a rovnako aj vyhotovené kúsky sa v obchodoch predávajú za nízke ceny. Vďaka tomu sa nám v šatníkoch často hromadia kúsky oblečenia, ktoré by sme za normálnych okolností nekúpili, no zlákala nás ich cena. Okrem toho, že fast fashion nie je humánna, škodí aj životnému prostrediu. Ako inak sa dá pristupovať k móde porozprávala blogerka a popularizátorka upcyklácie Katarína Peterová alias La Florita. V rozhovore sa dozviete: -ako sa Katarína dostala k blogovaniu a čo ju viedlo k upcyklácii (1:14) -prečo vzniklo hnutie Fashion Revolution, ktorého je Katarína členkou (4:44) -ako začať s upcykláciou (11:19) -ako zodpovedne nakupovať (18:38) -ako prebieha swapovanie (24:53)

Amelia Bloomer (1818-1894) was an early suffragist, editor, and social advocate. After writing about a less-restrictive style of dressing for women, she became inextricably linked with it. She's the reason we think of pantaloons as “bloomers.” And ever since, the women's rights movement has used them as a symbol of protest and equality.  For Further Reading: Amelia Bloomer Didn't Mean to Start a Fashion Revolution, But Her Name Became Synonymous With Trousers Amelia Bloomer "Alas! Poor Adam" This month we're talking about workers: Women who fought for labor rights and shaped the way we do business today. They advocated and innovated to make the “office” – wherever it is – a more equitable place. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us.

A historiadora Audrey Millet conhece por dentro a indústria da moda, onde começou a carreira para se tornar estilista. Mas quanto mais aprendia sobre os processos de fabricação das roupas, crescia também a necessidade de alertar sobre o lado B do setor: os riscos sanitários e ambientais que, por ora, são menosprezados pelos legisladores mundo afora e pelas próprias marcas. Lúcia Müzell, da RFIO assunto levou a francesa a mudar de rumo: escreveu Le Livre Noir de la Mode (O Livro Negro da Moda, em tradução livre) em 2021, tornou-se pesquisadora em tecnologia na Universidade de Oslo, na Noruega, e no ano passado foi convidada a apresentar no Parlamento Europeu um relatório sobre a toxicidade das roupas que usamos no dia a dia. Na sequência, uma série de testes foram encomendados pela Comissão Europeia.Os resultados começaram a aparecer em dezembro e são preocupantes: uma a cada seis peças importadas da China chega na Europa impregnada de produtos tóxicos em índices superiores aos autorizados no bloco.“Mas, na prática, não aconteceu nada. É muito decepcionante porque sabemos perfeitamente que as roupas, inclusive as roupas íntimas, contêm produtos tóxicos e entre eles agrotóxicos, se consideramos o começo da cadeia, mas também químicos que são adicionados para o transporte, para que elas não criem fungos”, afirma Millet. “Como não comemos as nossas roupas, essa parece ser uma preocupação menor aos olhos da opinião pública, embora esses produtos entrem no nosso corpo pelos nossos poros. As nossas meias ou calcinhas parecem ser menos perigosas do que produtos ultraprocessados ou cheios de antibióticos que nós comemos”, compara.Petróleo na peleUma das principais razões que explicam essa poluição intrínseca das roupas e calçados é que 70% dos tecidos e outros artigos utilizados na sua fabricação são derivados do petróleo. Em 2021, mais de 60 milhões de toneladas de poliéster, o mais comum deles, foram produzidos no mundo, segundo um estudo da Agência Francesa de Meio Ambiente (Ademe) sobre o impacto ambiental da moda.Além disso, outros químicos, como ftalatos e derivados de cloro, são adicionados no procedimento para o conforto dos usuários: evitam manchas, facilitam a lavagem e dispensam o ferro de passar. O problema é que esses compostos podem ser cancerígenos e causar infertilidade – uma consequência, a longo prazo, do efeito perturbador endócrino desses produtos nos mamíferos, inclusive seres humanos. “A alfândega realiza testes nos portos europeus, abrindo um contêiner e analisando uma caixa que chega da China, mas é insuficiente porque os volumes envolvidos são imensos”, aponta a pesquisadora. “O que é interessante é que, há alguns anos, os fiscais exigiram passar a trabalhar com proteções – luvas, máscaras e macacões – porque quando eles abrem as caixas, sai um odor horrível. Esse cheiro, que costumamos chamar de cheiro de novo, é o odor dos produtos químicos.”Outro problema ainda pouco estudado são as nanopartículas presentes nos têxteis: agentes antibacterianos ou fungicidas, de um tamanho 10 mil vezes inferior a um grão de sal. Por isso, no contato com a pele, esses químicos entram na corrente sanguínea dos usuários – além de serem espalhados no meio ambiente quando as peças são lavadas, através da água.Legislação insuficienteNas suas pesquisas, Audrey Millet verificou que os químicos em excesso são encontrados em marcas de todos os preços – e não apenas nas mais baratas, como se poderia imaginar. Desde a tragédia com a fábrica de roupas Rana Plaza em Bangladesh, há quase 11 anos, novas legislações aumentaram a segurança dos trabalhadores nestas usinas de baixo custo e alta produtividade, mas pouco foi feito para aumentar a transparência do processo produtivo das roupas, exportadas para o mundo inteiro. O excesso de produção, motivado pelo consumo também abusivo, despeja todo o ano 100 bilhões de novas peças de vestuário nas lojas.“Não basta gastarmos menos água ou fazermos compostagem do nosso lixo se quisermos promover uma mudança de verdade. Estamos vendo o planeta se alterar, e as roupas, cuja produção consome enormes quantidades de água e de energia, são um bem nada ecológico”, salienta Millet. “Precisamos voltar a consumir volumes mais aceitáveis, mas também olhar melhor as etiquetas do que compramos e preferir as fibras naturais – algo que, hoje, está cada vez mais difícil de encontrar”, lamenta.  Desde 2018, a União Europeia adotou a regulamentação REACH (da sigla em inglês para Registro, Avaliação, Autorização e Restrição de Químicos) que limita a exposição dos consumidores a 33 produtos químicos cancerígenos, tóxicos para a reprodução ou que induzam a mutações genéticas e que podem estar presentes nos têxteis. A norma vale para vestuário e calçados fabricados no bloco ou importados – entretanto, a cadeia é vasta e opaca, com diversas etapas de fabricação que dificultam a rastreabilidade do produto final, sinaliza Catherine Dauriac, presidente da organização Fashion Revolution na França.“Nós esperávamos para o ano passado uma reavaliação dessa lei, que está obsoleta, como vemos com todos esses produtos que continuam passando nas nossas fronteiras – e não só de vestuário, mas também produtos de decoração e tantos outros do nosso cotidiano. Os estudos também mostram que a lista de químicos proibidos é insuficiente”, destaca Dauriac. “Só que nada aconteceu em 2023. Nós e outras organizações vamos continuar acompanhando, porque é um grande problema.”

In many companies, the main goal is to maximize profits, often overlooking the needs of people and the environment. But that's neither sustainable nor ethical. Liz Rojic experienced this in the fashion industry and bravely decided to challenge the norm. With MZ Made, she crafted a business model that prioritizes mutually beneficial relationships for both the company and its artisans. As entrepreneurs, our focus should be on creating a positive impact rather than just chasing the highest profits.In this episode of Her CEO Journey, Liz shares her experiences in building a company grounded in humanism. She emphasizes the importance of adhering to core principles, even in the face of challenges. Join us to gain insights into the significance of cultural values in products, the concept of slow fashion, and how to establish a company that truly embodies its values.3 reasons why you should listen to the full episode:Learn what it takes to create a humanist company that puts people and the planet ahead of profit.Find inspiration in Liz's journey of creating a slow fashion brand founded on the principles of fair trade.Discover the kind of funding that's best for small businesses for good.Episode Highlights[03:21] Liz Rojic's CEO Journey[07:58] A Question of Practicality[15:10] Putting Profit Last in a Labour of Love[19:10] Keeping Principles First[20:42] Funding That Fits Your Values[26:39] Rooted in Justice and Fair Trade[28:43] The Living Wage As A Human Right[30:48] How to Price For The PeopleResourcesUse discount code: HERJOURNEY on the MZ Made online shopMZ MadeConnect with Liz Rojic: LinkedInConnect with Christina Sjahli: LinkedIn Find out about Profit Reimagined: LinkedIn | Website Enjoyed This Podcast?Write a review and share this with your friends.Connect With the Profit ReimaginedReady to transform your purpose into an impactful business financial story, profit, and joy?

The new book, Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion, traces how hip-hop luminaries such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Virgil Abloh gained entrance into the exclusionary fashion world, and how fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Fendi responded to a new market.

Ai, des war a Gaudi! Die Twins haben das Oktoberfest unsicher gemacht und sich dafür ordentlich in Schale geworfen. Während Schönwetter-Freundin Tom in strahlend weißer Tracht auf sündenfreies Christkind macht, bringt unser Teufelchen Bill in pinken Lederhosen die Fashion-Revolution auf die Wiesn. Außen hui und unten ohne haben die wilden Mäuse Käferzelt und Fahrgeschäfte auseinandergenommen und sich eine Maß nach der anderen einverleibt. Doch auch wenn der Kater im Gegensatz zur Erinnerung bis nach Berlin reicht und nicht alle die Festivitäten ganz unverletzt überstanden haben, ist eines klar: Nächstes Jahr wieder! - Prost!

Colonialist practices, past and present, combined with climate change are having catastrophic effects on poorer countries in the global south. In this episode, Sam and Deboki talk with experts about how and why that's the case and unpack two major examples of this impact: the 2022 Pakistan floods and the global factory, particularly the garment industry. Laurie Parson's book is here. The organizations he suggests at the end of the episode are Fashion Revolution, Clean Clothes Campaign, and Transform Trade. Sam's Tiny Show & Tell story is here. Deboki's book suggestions: Consumed: The Need for Collective Change, Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism and Worn: A People's History of Clothing.

Carbon neutral. Net zero. Carbon positive. You may have been seeing more and more claims like these lately from companies, including fashion brands. But in today's Green or Greenwashing episode, we're diving deeper, beyond the surface of these claims, to see if they really can be trusted. Many of these carbon neutrality claims are asserted based on the company purchasing carbon offsets. This episode was inspired by the UK watchdog, Advertising Standards Authority, recently banning advertisements that claim products are carbon neutral through using offsets due to a growing concern that these claims are misleading consumers. This isn't just about the fashion industry, but in case you missed it: many fashion brands are using these sorts of claims, especially as global awareness grows around fashion's environmental impact, including its carbon emissions. You may have seen various estimates of fashion's contribution to global carbon emissions ranging from 2 to 10 percent. The Apparel Impact Institute's latest report puts that number at 1.8 percent.  *Note: In the audio, I misstated that it was Textile Exchange's report!The reality is that the majority of fashion brands do not disclose their full emissions. Fashion Revolution's 2023 Transparency Index found that less than half (43 percent) of brands publish their annual value chain carbon emissions. So we're at the basics here. Over half of brands aren't even telling us what their carbon emissions are. When Fashion Revolution says “value chain”, they mean the full supply chain. So not just the corporate offices, but how these brands make their clothes. Many factories involved with textile production and garment and footwear production are still reliant on fossil fuels, like coal. About two-thirds of textiles are fossil fuel-derived synthetics like polyester. Brands are reliant on polluting shipping methods, and some — especially fast fashion brands — use the speedy but very carbon-intensive shipping method of air freight. So fashion should absolutely be talking about reaching carbon neutrality and decarbonization. But the question is: should their method of using carbon offsets be celebrated? Let's get into the episode!***SHOW NOTES:https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/carbon-offsetting***MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Celebrate with us!

Ten years ago, the devastating Rana Plaza collapse in Dhaka proved just how deadly the business of making clothes could be for marginalised garment workers. In countries like Bangladesh where cheap clothing is produced at high volume, and wages are kept low, it's these workers - mostly young women - who face the greatest exploitation and vulnerability.As a result, a new consumer movement was born in the form of Fashion Revolution. New agreements, like what's now known as the International Accord and Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry, were developed. Supply chain transparency became a buzz phrase. We'd entered a new era of scrutiny, spotlighting working conditions, poverty wages and brands that failed to do the right thing. So far so good, but today the power imbalances persist between brands and suppliers that result in unfair purchasing practices persist, the right to unionise is by no means universally upheld and almost no big brands pay a living wage.Events commemorating the disaster's anniversary went hard on the hashtag, #ranaplazaneveragain - but how much has really changed since 2013? Are factories everywhere safer? How about fairer? To what extent has fashion production really become more ethical?You're going to hear from three people who spend their days advocating for a better deal for garment workers:TAMAZER AMED is ActionAid Bangladesh's lead for Women's Rights & Gender Equity.SARAH KNOP is Baptist World Aid Australia's Advocacy Manager.NAYEEM EMRAN is Oxfam Australia's Economic Justice Strategic Lead.Check the shownotes for links and further reading.Value the show?

Whether it's the joy of dyeing cloth with pomegranates, the age-old practicality of turning sheep wool into felts and knits, or the rich legacy of complex embroideries and silk Ikat weaving, Central Asian textile traditions are bonded by cultural meaning and a respect for the natural world. And resources: nothing gets thrown away, as this week's guest Aigerim Akenova explains through her love for patchwork - her nomadic ancestors' answer to upcycling.Aigerim is the country co-ordinator of Fashion Revolution Kazakhstan. With a global outlook (studied in Milan, lives in California), she's also a contemporary Kazakh designer determined to centre sustainability in the national fashion conversation, as the country she was born and raised in scales up its design and creative industries. Still, the big money in this former Soviet territory of 19 million people, is still in mining. The economy is based on oil, coal, gas, but also things like copper, aluminium, zinc, bauxite and gold. As Aigerim puts it: "We've got the whole periodic table." And Kazakhstan is the world's largest uranium producer. What role could sustainable fashion play in growing newer, lower carbon industries here in line with SDGs? What do young urban Kazakhs and Central Asians in neighbouring countries want from the fashion today? As well as its craft heritage, Kazakhstan also has a vibrant modern fashion scene, its own fashion week, and (doesn't everywhere?) fast fashion - so how can these two sides find balance in future? Aigerim says we have much to learn from nomadic traditions of sustainable clothing systems.THIS IS OUR ANNUAL FASHION REVOLUTION SPECIAL BE CURIOUS, FIND OUT, DO SOMETHING.

How French farmers are adapting since the war in Ukraine halted grain and seed exports. Why we need to buy fewer clothes if we want the fashion industry to be sustainable. And the voice of Ernest Renan – one of the big thinkers of 19th century France, famed for his biography of Jesus. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to a drop in grain exports around the world, as Ukraine was a major producer before the war. Farmers in France – Europe's largest grain producer – have shifted their production to help compensate. At the annual ‘Salon de l'Agriculture' agriculture fair in the south of Paris, Laurent Rosso, director of the French vegetable oil and protein trade association, talks about how grain farmers here have increased their sunflower crops, for animal feed and cooking oil, and the country's quest for self-sufficiency. And with the increase in the price of wheat, farmers might be discouraged from planting other grains. Cédric Truphemus, a producer of petit epautre, or small spelt, in the high Alps, says not enough farmers in the region are planting, and they cannot meet demand. (Listen @1'15) The fashion industry's green credentials are not great: not only is it responsible for at least four percent of global carbon emissions, the dyes and chemicals involved in garment-making are damaging to the environment and human health. Fashion shows, such as the recent Fashion Week in Paris, are the most visible part of the industry, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. The big problem is the growth of 'ultra fast fashion', which floods the market with cheap garments with short shelf-lives. Catherine Dauriac, a fashion journalist, author and country coordinator of the global non-profit Fashion Revolution, talks about the urgent need to make fashion more sustainable. It begins with buying less but better and repairing the clothes we already have. (Listen @17'50) France is marking the bi-centenary of the birth of historian and philosopher Ernest Renan. Renowned for works such as the "Life of Jesus" and "What is a nation?" his voice was recorded by Gustave Eiffel in 1891 in one of the earliest audio recordings in France.
