As Trump's tariffs kick in, the Republican party is suddenly spouting anti-consumerist rhetoric that would make the Lorax smile. Should we cheer on this accidental experiment in economic shrinkage, or will this ham-fisted set of trade policies cause a backlash against the proponents of degrowth? As political confusion reigns, we offer eco-localism as the no-regrets way to build community resilience in the face of unprecedented ineptitude that probably won't go away anytime soon.

Heute wirds hitzig und das liegt nicht an den Temperaturen, sondern am Modethema, über das Conny und Cla diskutieren. Es geht um Fastfashion, Trends und warum man keine Luxustaschen mit großen Logos darauf benötigt, um up to date zu sein.

What if the most toxic thing in your home isn't a chemical—but a mindset? Clean living advocate and first-time author Lindsay Dahl returns to unpack the nuanced middle ground of wellness, environmental health, and personal agency. Together, we explore the emotional toll of trying to “do it all right,” the dangers of black-and-white thinking in the age of social media, and why real change takes both individual action and systemic accountability. We talk spatulas and seed oils, fast fashion and flame retardants, fear and freedom—and why being a pragmatist in today's digital landscape is both radical and necessary. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture or simply want to think more critically about what's in your home and how it gets there, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a call to thoughtful action. 0:00 | Framing the Problem with Balance 2:20 | Education, Policy, and the Role of Media 5:40 | Health vs. Science: A Cultural Disconnect 8:06 | Control, Consumerism, and Systemic Change 11:25 | Fast Fashion as a Microcosm 14:12 | Inside “Cleaning House”: Book Preview 18:41 | The Cost of Speaking Up 23:38 | Reclaiming Community and Dialogue 26:25 | Closing and Call to Action Find Lindsay: lindsaydahl.com instagram.com/lindsay_dahl linkedin.com/in/lindsay-dahl-3617076 Pre-order Lindsay's book "Cleaning House: The Fight to Rid Our Homes of Toxic Chemicals" almost anywhere books are sold, releases 8/5/25 Find Stacy: realeverything.com instagram.com/realstacytoth missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Comment êtes-vous habillé aujourd'hui ? Où ont été fabriqués vos vêtements et dans quelles conditions ? Ces questions prennent de plus en plus de place dans nos têtes avec la multiplication des reportages sur les coulisses de la fast fashion, ces enseignes de mode éphémère qui mettent en vente des milliers de modèles différents à des prix très bas. Nous avons tous vu ces montagnes de vêtements usagés aux abords de certaines villes africaines ou asiatiques… Oui mais acheter un vêtement, c'est un plaisir et quand il n'est pas cher, c'est accessible à tous ! En plus une véritable économie s'est développée dans les pays du Sud autour de ces surplus de vêtements occidentaux, comme vous le verrez dans un instant au Cameroun. Alors, les ONG multiplient les rapports, les pouvoirs publics tentent de légiférer, des entreprises développent des alternatives en France. Nous vous emmènerons en région Rhône Alpes découvrir la marque 1083 qui fabrique des jeans 100% français et l'usine Nouvelles fibres qui fabrique du tissu à partir de vêtements recyclés.

Would you be surprised to hear that your favorite shoe brand is neither family-owned nor as punk as it portrays itself to be?Did you know that wealth inequality and shoes are directly connected? Could your latest shoe purchase be subsidizing lobbying efforts to fight a rise in the minimum wage or reduce taxes for the wealthiest people?Amanda is joined by Ariel, the founder of Cobbled Goods to talk about how shoes, wealth inequality, and politics are entangled. He will introduce us to his Billionaire Boycott List. In this episode, we will also cover the following topics:The environmental and ethical impacts of shoe productionCommon greenwashing tropes used by the shoe industryWho really owns a lot of the shoe companies that we might think of "heritage" brands or "countercultural"How you can make better decisions when shopping for a new pair of shoesAnd how where, when, and how often you shop are political decisions!And guess what? Ariel has a reading list for you:Wealth Supremacy: How the Extractive Economy and the Biased Rules of Capitalism Drive Today's CrisesOne of my favourite books, written by Marjorie Kelly. She really has her finger on the heart of the issue. I'd recommend listeners start by checking out her podcast interviews. I also have to add my first encounter with her work, which rocked my world — The Architecture of Enterprise: Redesigning Ownership for a Great Transition.Foot Work: What Your Shoes Tell You About GlobalisationAn incredible first-person look into shoe production around the world. Tansy Hoskins also has a great newsletter.Imagining a Decentralised Footwear Industry at the Global Fashioning AssemblyI didn't mention this but I hosted a speculative fiction workshop last fall with Tansy and few other footwear founders where everyone shared their ideas on what the industry would look like in a world with big businesses. It ties in nicely with our conversation and the boycott list.Dispatches: The truth about Nike and AdidasThe Channel 4 investigation into recycled ocean plastic. I actually confused Nike and Adidas on the episode. Both brands are covered but the ocean plastic bit was about Adidas. The original broadcast is not available on demand: But there is an article with part of the video here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10821693/Channel-4s-Dispatches-reveals-greenwashing-trainer-brands.html License to Greenwash: How certification schemes and voluntary initiatives are fueling fossil fashionA very compelling report on greenwashing through certifications and standards. I alluded to it a bit with the HIGG index, but I meant to dive deeper because it is highly prevalent.Money Heist: COVID-19 Wage Theft in Global Garment Supply ChainsA report on how big brands dodge accountability to the workers making their products. It gives estimates on how many millions of dollars different brands owe the workers that were laid off without severance due to their cancelled orders during Covid.Nowhere to Hide: How the Fashion Industry Is Linked to Amazon Rainforest DestructionA thorough report mapping out leather supply chains connected to Amazon deforestation.ALSO: get your tickets for Clotheshorse LIVE!10/23 Seattle, WA @ Here-After10/26 Portland, OR @ HoloceneGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

La victoire du candidat de l'aile gauche du parti démocrate mardi (24 juin 2025) à la primaire pour l'élection à la mairie de New York a créé la surprise. Le socialiste Zohran Mamdani avait basé sa campagne contre la vie chère et la promesse de taxer les hauts revenus. «Une star politique a émergé du camp démocrate divisé», titre le New York Times. Le journal craint que le socialiste n'aggrave les divergences au sein du parti politique. En effet, Zohran Mamdani promeut une économie progressiste et rejette la position du parti sur le Moyen-Orient. Le New York Times souligne une rupture générationnelle et idéologique opérée par les électeurs démocrates new yorkais qui ont délaissé une figure familière, l'ancien gouverneur Andrew Cuomo, pour un député de 33 ans qui s'est concentré sur la problématique du coût de la vie. «Je n'avais pas vu un tel niveau d'excitation dans les vues de New York depuis la campagne de Barack Obama», affirme la procureure générale de la ville dans le New York Times. Zohran Mamdani a également réussi à gagner tout en prônant un positionnement clair sur le conflit israélo-palestinien. Il dénonce un génocide commis par l'armée israélienne. Question qui divise au sein des leaders démocratiques au niveau national rappel, le New York Times. Le ton change en une du New York Post. Le tabloïd conservateur titre «New York SOS» qui va sauver la ville après la dérouillée infligée à Andrew Cuomo par un «socialiste radical» ? Selon le journal, cette victoire «fait trembler le milieu des affaires.» Mais les dés ne sont pas jetés. Andrew Cuomo pourrait tout de même participer à la course à la mairie de New York en novembre prochain. Il a déposé une pétition pour se présenter sous la bannière de son propre parti, note le Wall Street Journal. Sur l'antenne de RFI, Jérôme Viala-Godefroy, enseignant à Sciences Po et spécialiste de la vie politique américaine y voit un rejet des élites « un peu comme on a vu avec Donald Trump mais c'est fois à gauche. On a un ultra-progressiste qui s'assume comme socialiste. Il a été particulièrement populaire chez les jeunes. » Quel impact réel des frappes américaines sur le nucléaire iranien ? Quel a été le réel impact des frappes américaines sur les capacités nucléaires iraniennes ? Le service de renseignement du Pentagone affirme qu'elles n'ont fait que les retarder de quelques mois. Selon CNN qui a révélé les détails de ce premier rapport, les trois frappes américaines menées sur des sites névralgiques du programme nucléaire iranien n'ont pas détruit les composantes essentielles du programme nucléaire. Le bilan pourrait être amené à évoluer au fur et à mesure de l'analyse, mais l'antenne affirme que les premières conclusions contredisent les affirmations répétées du président Donald Trump, selon lesquelles les frappes ont complètement détruit les installations d'enrichissement nucléaire et retardé de plusieurs décennies le programme nucléaire. Le New York Times contredit également l'analyse du président américain. Le journal ne se base également sur les renseignements américains. Selon eux, les trois sites de Fordo, Natanz et Ispahan n'ont souffert que de destructions modérées. Avant les bombardements américains, ils estimaient que l'Iran était capable d'obtenir la bombe atomique en l'espace de trois mois s'ils le décidaient. Aujourd'hui, ils pourraient l'obtenir en 6 mois. Il n'est cependant pas certains que les Iraniens tentent de reconstruire le programme, précise le journal. À lire aussiLe programme nucléaire iranien n'a pas été détruit par les frappes américaines, selon un rapport du renseignement Au Chili, une décharge de la Fast-Fashion Reportage dans le nord du Chili à Iquique, l'un des plus grands ports d'Amérique du Sud. Il reçoit, chaque année, des centaines de milliers de tonnes de vêtements de seconde main. 60 à 70% de ces textiles sont de mauvaise qualité et sont donc jetés dans des décharges sauvages à ciel ouvert dans le désert le plus aride du monde. Les ONG locales dénoncent l'abandon de l'État et appellent les pays consommateurs de la Fast-Fashion à gérer eux-mêmes leurs déchets textiles. Alors que sur 10 vêtements déposés dans des bennes de collectes en Europe, 7 sont exportés à l'étranger et terminent généralement dans ces décharges. Reportage à écouter de Marion Esnault.

Face à l'essor fulgurant de l'ultra fast fashion incarnée par des plateformes comme Shein et Temu, la France tente de reprendre la main avec un cadre législatif inédit. Dans cet épisode, Yann Rivoallan, président de la Fédération Française du Prêt-à-Porter Féminin, décrypte avec lucidité et engagement les rouages d'un modèle qui bouleverse toute l'industrie de la mode : production algorithmique, copie à grande échelle, micro-lots, logistique dématérialisée, et dumping fiscal massif.Entrepreneur, ancien fondateur de The Other Store, pionnier du e-commerce de mode et désormais voix incontournable dans le débat public, Yann Rivoallan revient également sur son parcours, son engagement sociétal, et les combats qu'il mène aujourd'hui pour défendre la création, l'emploi et la durabilité dans la mode.Au fil de notre conversation, nous explorons :les différences entre fast fashion et ultra fast fashion ;le rôle central de l'intelligence artificielle dans le modèle Shein ;les impacts sociaux, environnementaux et culturels de cette production accélérée ;les limites des systèmes de régulation actuels ;et les enjeux législatifs autour de la loi française récemment votée et en cours d'évaluation au niveau européen.Yann détaille également les stratégies de lobbying à l'œuvre, les difficultés de contrôle de la supply chain ultra-décentralisée, ainsi que l'addiction croissante des consommateurs à ces plateformes aux mécanismes proches des réseaux sociaux.Un épisode sans détour pour mieux comprendre les tensions à l'œuvre dans la mode contemporaine, entre innovation technologique et urgence climatique, entre tentation du low cost et responsabilité collective. Yann y défend une vision offensive et lucide : informer, réguler, mais aussi valoriser les alternatives comme la seconde main, l'upcycling ou le soutien aux marques locales.
On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we discuss three big news stories: Kering has hired its new CEO, Luca de Meo, who comes from the automotive world, rather than the fashion or luxury sector. It's an inspired choice at a time when Kering desperately needs a new direction. We also talk about FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, announcing the launch of its own luxury fashion brand. And we discuss a bill passed in the French Senate that would curtail fast fashion brands like Shein and Temu, requiring them to pay extra taxes and banning them from advertising. Later in the episode, our editor-in-chief Jill Manoff sits down with Warby Parker's chief product and supply chain officer Kim Nemser. The conversation was recorded at our annual Glossy E-Commerce Summit, held this year in Miami in early June. Nemser spoke about Warby Parker's omnichannel strategies, with a particular focus on how it's integrating AI into many of its back-end operations.

Have you ever looked at the tag on your shirt and stopped to wonder who grew your clothes? In a world where roughly 30% of the microplastics in our oceans come from synthetic clothing material, it's more critical than ever to build a connection to the fibers we wear every day. As the founder of the Midwest Linen Revival, Leslie Schroeder is leading a movement in Madison to make the fashion industry more sustainable. The Midwest Linen Revival is hosting a three-day event series called “Field To Frock” to build awareness for a local, sustainable fashion ecosystem.
Günümüzde yavaşlamaya tahammül çok az. Yavaşlık; sıkıcılık ve tembellikle özdeşleştirilirken hız, becerikli olmakla bir tutuluyor.

How to stop our needless overconsumption of cheaper and cheaper clothes that pollute the planet? France's senate passed a bill to curb advertising and tax pollution on fast fashion, with lawmakers even talking up the distinction of ultra fast fashion - garments made in a hurry - more and more using polyester and other polluting plastics, shipped at warp speed by plane and which fall apart after only a few washes. Has the bill been partially stripped bare though? The new version seems to include a carve-out for European giants that peddle cheap clothes with the focus mostly now on China. In fact, Europeans like the Trump administration are working to close the tax loophole on the kind of small parcels that go out by the millions from small garment factories in China. And while the likes of Shein and Temu enroll big names to lobby, including a former European Commissioner and a former interior minister of Emmanuel Macron, we asked who's winning the hearts and minds of consumers in this battle over an industry that represents up to ten percent of humanity's carbon footprint. Produced by Rebecca Gniganti, Aurore Laborie and Ilayda Habip.

En este episodio analizamos el modelo de fast fashion, basado en colecciones aceleradas, mano de obra barata y precios bajos, así como sus consecuencias ambientales y sociales. También respondemos una pregunta urgente: ¿qué pasa con toda la ropa que no se vende o desechamos casi al mismo ritmo que la compramos? Exploramos el auge de la reventa y el mercado de segunda mano en plataformas digitales y su potencial en México como alternativa más sostenible. Para este episodio entrevistamos a Andreas Hartmann, profesor en el departamento de Negocios Internacionales y coordinador del Grupo de Investigación de Estrategia Organizacional del Tecnológico de Monterrey, a María Lucila Osorio, profesora investigadora en la EGADE Business School y directora del Departamento académico de Mercadotecnia y Análisis y líder del Grupo de investigación en Retail, ambos autores del estudio Plataformas de moda de segunda mano. Explorando factores que afectan su adopción. También, platicamos con María Pilar Uribe Silva, periodista con expertise en moda sostenible, a Lucia Martinez-Ostos, fundadora de Troquer y a Karla Avilés y Bastián Barría, cofundadores de la organización Desierto Vestido.

durée : 00:06:08 - Le Journal de l'éco - par : Anne-Laure Chouin - Avec la fast-fashion, la consommation de vêtements a augmenté de 40 % en Europe. En France, plus de 800 000 tonnes de textiles usagés partent chaque année dans les circuits de traitement des déchets, et le secteur est à bout de souffle. Le gouvernement annonce un Big Bang du recyclage textile.
In this special edition for World Oceans Day, we spotlight the urgent, haunting work of Mandy Barker, the award-winning British photographic artist using sea-salvaged fashion waste to expose the truth about plastic pollution. Her cyanotype series "Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Imperfections" reimagines the work of 19th-century botanist Anna Atkins, replacing seaweed with clothing scraps collected from 121 beaches around the UK. The result is both poetic and jarring, earning praise from none other than Sir David Attenborough, who supports Barker's work for its power to inspire real change.

This week you are going to meet Molly and Jane of Content Queen, a two-person Bay Area-based zine publisher. And we are going to talk about all kinds of very hot topics (including literally Hot Topic):Why do Jane and Molly make physical zines rather than virtual/online content in 2025? The answer is important and might get you thinking…How has the kind of “content” we consume (especially the content we READ) changed in the social media era?Two of Content Queen's zines that are explicitly fashion-related: Stressful, Awkward, Envied: ‘90s and ‘00s Brands From Those Who Wore the Clothes, Worked the Registers, and Modeled for the Catalogs AND Wendy's World, “an immersion into the early-'90s downtown New York world of the ultimate cult indie fashion label, Built by Wendy.”Along the way Molly and Jane will tell us what it's like to vend at a zine fair in 2025 (and why it's different than it used to be). And we'll wrap it all up by making our trend predictions. Amanda gets things started with explaining why something as simple as reading is a radical act of resistance in 2025 (and why we need to protect books and libraries).Go order and read Molly and Jane's zines so we can talk about them: contentqueenzine.comFind them on IG: @contentqueenzineJOIN AMANDA FOR THE CLOTHESHORSE BIRTHDAY CRAFTERNOON ON JULY 20!Additional reading:"It's so boring': Gen Z parents don't like reading to their kids - and educators are worried," Alaina Demopoulos, The Guardian."The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books," Rose Horowitch, The Atlantic.Banned and Challenged Books dashboard, American Library Association.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it's a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?

L'essor de la vente en ligne et de l'ultra-fast-fashion semble un coupable idéal. Trop idéal ?

Guest: Pamela James, CEO & Founder of Paloma St. JamesIt's no mystery that industrialization has a negative impact on the environment; however, an unexpected contributor is the fashion industry. Recent studies have shown that the production of textiles contributes nearly to 8-10% of global carbon emissions, superseding emissions from the aviation and shipping industries combined. Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.
