A partir du mercredi 1er octobre, l'éco-score entre en vigueur. Cette nouvelle étiquette doit informer les consommateurs sur l'impact environnemental des vêtements qu'ils achètent. Comment est-il calculé ? On pose la question à François Pitrel, journaliste environnement à BFMTV.

Chaque semaine, la fast fashion inonde les rayons : vêtements à bas prix, vite portés, vite jetés. Mais à quel coût pour la planète, les travailleurs et notre manière de consommer ? Friperies, marques éthiques, upcycling ou location… Les alternatives existent. Reste à savoir : peut-on allier style et responsabilité sans tomber dans la surconsommation ?

Raglan's Xtreme Zero waste recyling centre is banning cast-offs from the China based fast fashion giant Shein. It says the poor quality and the sheer volumme Shein garments mean its a real challenge to sell them in their recycle retail store. Shein clothes tend to be made from synthetic fabrics, and testing has shown some contain harmful chemical like formaldehyde and are sold for extremely low prices. It's also alleged some Shein staff are working 75 hour weeks and getting just one day off a month. Jemma Hovelmeier from Xtreme Zero Waste in Raglan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Can circular fashion beat fast fashion? In this episode, we sit down with Steve Dool, Senior Director, Brand & Creative at Depop, to explore how the platform is reshaping the way we shop, sell, and think about fashion.But before we dive into Depop's bold mission, we rewind to Steve's own journey, from writing for GQ and The New York Times to navigating career pivots that led him to the forefront of fashion and tech. He shares the values and personal moments that shaped his leadership style and creative lens.Together, we unpack the rise of secondhand fashion as a cultural force, the fall of traditional PR and Media gatekeeping, and how Gen Z and creators are rewriting the rules of influence. Whether you're a marketer, founder, or fashion lover, this conversation is filled with insights on building brands with meaning, and why the future of fashion is circular.

Antwerpen und Brüssel stehen im Schatten der Mode-Metropolen Paris, Mailand und London - zu Unrecht! Und hier sind die Fäden zur EU-Politik kürzer. Was tut die EU in Sachen Fast Fashion und Textil-Müllberge? Mit Kathrin Schmid und Sabrina Fritz. Von Kathrin Schmid.

In this episode, we will unpack how brands use customer information to create that emotional connection:A nostalgic trip back to the 00s:  the rise and fall of Urban Outfitters' “coolness", and what it revealed about aspirational vs. actual customers.Why brands claim to be “obsessed with the customer,” yet often misunderstand who's really shopping with them.The shift from emotional branding to data-driven surveillance marketing and how companies now know us better than we know ourselves.Very special guest Kim Christenson (aka Amanda's cohost of The Department)  joins us to explain how digital marketing, social media, and algorithms shape what we buy.A deep dive into “surveillance pricing” and how brands adjust prices just for you (and no, that's not a good thing).And so much more!!Additional reading:"Hotel booking sites show higher prices to travelers from Bay Area," Keith A.

As reports continue around clothing banks overflowing - is there any way to shift the public's focus from fast fashion to more sustainable clothing?Freelance Broadcaster Meghann Scully and Sustainable Fashion Educator, Miriam Keegan, join Kieran to discuss…

Fashion is one of the world's most polluting industries

Climate is something that we know people care about. It’s something I think a lot of us have anxiety about and feel somewhat helpless around. It’s also not usually the most sexy or humorous topic; but today’s guest has somehow found the ability to interconnect all of those things in her brand new book “Nature’s last dance”. Today we are joined by Natalie Kyriacou! Natalie is an award-winning environmentalist, writer, public speaker, and company director. She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia and the Forbes 30 Under 30 honour for her services to wildlife and environmental conservation in 2018. Today we wanted to speak about our environmental footprint, some misunderstandings in how we view nature, and whether we are completely f*cked when it comes to climate. But we actually start this chat by Nat telling us that it’s likely the current prime minister thinks she vaginal steams… We chat: Why younger generations seem to be more passionate about climate change and nature destruction The big organisations and systems that point the finger and tell you to use a reusable cup The fashion industry’s impact on our environment Conspicuous consumption - the peacocking of social status Are the damages to our environment too far gone to ‘correct course’? How climate disasters disproportionately affect women What we can all do to help “Greenwashing” and being brand aware Why the price of chocolate is going to skyrocket because of nature Animals and the cute curse The ejaculation helmet Bonobos and their giant clits You can get a copy of Nature’s Last Dance Follow Nat on Instagram Join her on Tiktok You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!

Fast fashion has taken over the fashion industry, but is less expensive, trendy clothing really worth the purchase? Those who say to “stop” argue fast fashion harms the environment in many ways and exploits workers in countries with lax regulations. Those who say “keep shopping” argue it's up to shoppers to choose, as fast fashion offers affordable options, supports jobs, and boosts local economies.

Fashion is a massive $1.8 Trillion industry. Within that two tales unfold: one of quality, timelessness and individualized expression, and another of wastefulness, shame and pride. On this episode of Looking Outside, we explore how fast fashion competes with slow fashion; where craftsmanship, carefulness and scarcity supersede fleeting trends. For this we're joined by French fashion designer and YouTuber Justine Leconte. To her one million viewers around the world, Justine emphasizes the importance of choosing what we buy carefully. But not necessarily at the expense of style, which everyone has the ability to harness, particularly when we tailor fashion to us. ----------More:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & X & jolepore.comLearn more about Justine Leconte & her labelFollow Justine on YouTube, Pinterest & TikTokCheck out Justine's guide for Timelines StyleRequest Justine's Fast Fashion BlacklistWatch 5 myths that fast fashion brands want you to believe----------⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!----------Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Bree McKeen, founder of Evelyn & Bobbie, the brand rewriting the rules of bras with comfort, science, and confidence at the core. For decades, bras have been built on outdated designs that cause pain, poor posture, and even body dysmorphia. Bree is here to change that.Coming from a background in finance and healthcare investing, Bree didn't expect to end up in fashion. But as a woman wearing a 34G bra through long workdays, she knew the frustration firsthand—rigid underwires, digging straps, and sizing chaos that never seemed to fit. Instead of blaming her body, Bree questioned why bras hadn't evolved in nearly a century. That question sparked a revolution.At Evelyn & Bobbie, bras are reengineered for real bodies, not flat blueprints. With input from over 270 fit models, flexible sizing, and adaptive fabrics developed with top athletic manufacturers, their designs mold to your shape instead of fighting it. No underwires, no shame—just support that feels like a second skin.But this isn't just about comfort. Evelyn & Bobbie bras are trusted by surgeons for post-surgical recovery, praised for posture-friendly design, and cherished by women rediscovering confidence after years of pain and poor fit. Their message is bold and simple: your body is perfect—bras are the problem.

In this episode of the Compendium, we're clutching our pearls as I tell Adam all about the tumultuous saga behind the House of Gucci. From the ambitious beginnings of Guccio Gucci to the tragic murder of Maurizio Gucci. We're not hitting play on an old run of ‘Days of our Lives', because this is the real story of legacy, scandals and murder. We are recounting the pivotal roles played by Aldo and Rodolfo Gucci, the transformative under Tom Ford, and how the murder orchestrated by Patrizia Reggiani marked a turning point for the luxury brand. The story of the Gucci family is more than the sum of its parts, offering a window into the complexities of legacy, the price of ambition, and the true story behind the headlines.

In today's world, technology has woven its way into nearly every aspect of our lives and work. The fashion industry is always looking for ways to make things faster and automate work that always used to be done by humans – but not Jackie. She's been working with hand weavers in Bangladesh for over three decades and is more passionate about the future of fair trade, hand-crafted fabrics than ever. Jackie teaches designers how to design their own handwoven fabrics and helps them get their textiles made through her business Motif Handmade. In episode 120, Jackie shares how designing your own handwoven textiles is more accessible to you as an independent designer than you might realize, how she's seen fair trade sourcing change lives, and the value that threads through all of Jackie's work. Jackie Corlett is the founder of Motif Handmade, a Brit who swapped the rolling hills of England for decades in vibrant Bangladesh, and now calls the wide-open prairies of Illinois home. As a textile designer, Jackie's lifelong passion is for handcrafted fabrics and the remarkable artisans who bring them to life. Over the years, she's helped students, designers and brands weave artisanal goods into their collections, creating beauty with purpose. Today, through her course KIND FABRIC, Jackie's mission is to empower designers with the skills and confidence to develop their own fair trade certified, custom fabrics and finished goods. She believes sourcing can be 100% transparent, giving you 100% peace of mind. From fibre to fabric to finished product, Jackie champions a world where creativity isn't just about making things ... it's about making a difference. This episode explores: Fitting the customer Why handwoven textiles are more accessible to you as an independent designer than you might realize The two big shifts that have accelerated the demand and accessibility of fair trade textiles over Jackie's career Fitting the lifestyle What captured Jackie's interest back in 1989 that started her on the path towards the work she is doing today How fair trade sourcing changes us as designers  How long it takes to design your own handwoven fabrics and get them made How the MOQs and cost of handwoven fabrics compare to other fabric options Fitting the values The thing that matters most to Jackie in her work Why creating products with integrity is easier now than ever before The ways that Fast Fashion mindsets creep into our work The real impact of fair trade People and resources mentioned in this episode: Motif Handmade website Motif Handmade Instagram Jackie's email Jackie's LinkedIn Kind Fabric course Previous How Fitting guests who use Motif fabrics in their collection: Mrs. Emily and Glean & Grace Cyclo recycled fiber yarns Plaidmaker plaid design tool Future Fabrics Expo Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

Are US tariffs about to end the ‘add to cart’ era? President Donald Trump’s move to end the de minimis exemption closes a loophole used by Shein, Temu, and others to ship duty-free.

Miroslav Volf confronts Schopenhauer's pessimism and unquenchable thirst with a vision of love that affirms the world.“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality. ... For Schopenhauer, the pleasure of satisfaction are the lights of fireflies in the night of life's suffering. These four claims taken together make pain the primordial, universal, and unalterable state of human lives.”In the second installment of his 2025 Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf examines the 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's radical rejection of the world. Through Schopenhauer's metaphysics of blind will and insatiable desire, Volf draws out the philosopher's haunting pessimism and hatred for existence itself. But Schopenhauer's rejection of the world—rooted in disappointed love—is not just a historical curiosity; Volf shows how our modern consumerist cravings mirror Schopenhauer's vision of unquenchable thirst and fleeting satisfaction. In response, Volf offers a theological and philosophical critique grounded in three kinds of love—epithumic (appetitive), erotic (appreciative), and agapic (self-giving)—arguing that agape love must be central in our relationship to the world. “Everything is a means, but nothing satisfies,” Volf warns, unless we reorder our loves. This second lecture challenges listeners to reconsider what it means to live in and love a world full of suffering—without abandoning its goodness.Episode Highlights“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality.”“Whether we love ice cream or sex or God, we are often merely seeking to slake our thirst.”“If we long for what we have, what we have never ceases to satisfy.”“A better version is available—for whatever reason, it is not good enough. And we discard it. This is micro-rejection of the world.”“Those who love agape refuse to act as if they were the midpoint of their world.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThe World as Will and Representation by Arthur SchopenhauerParadiso by Dante AlighieriVictor Hugo's Les MisérablesA Brief for the Defense by Jack GilbertShow NotesSchopenhauer's pessimism as rooted in disappointed love of the worldGod's declaration in Genesis—“very good”—contrasted with Schopenhauer's “nothing is good”Job's suffering as a theological counterpoint to Schopenhauer's metaphysical despairHuman desire framed as unquenchable thirst: pain, boredom, and fleeting satisfactionSchopenhauer's diagnosis: we swing endlessly between pain and boredomThree kinds of love introduced: epithumic (appetite), erotic (appreciation), agapic (affirmation)Schopenhauer's exclusive emphasis on appetite—no place for appreciation or unconditional loveModern consumer culture mirrors Schopenhauer's account: desiring to desire, never satisfiedFast fashion, disposability, and market-induced obsolescence as symptoms of world-negation“We long for what we have” vs. “we discard the world”Luther's critique: “suck God's blood”—epithumic relation to GodAgape love: affirming the other, even when undeserving or diminishedErotic love: savoring the intrinsic worth of things, not just their utilityThe fleetingness of joy and comparison's corrosion of valueModern desire as invasive, subliminally shaped by market competitionDenigration of what is in favor of what could be—a pathology of dissatisfactionConsumerism as massive “micro-rejection” of the worldVolf's call to reorder our loves toward appreciation and unconditional affirmationTheology and metaphysics reframe suffering not as a reason to curse the world, but to love it betterPreview of next lecture: Nietzsche, joy, and the affirmation of all existenceProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

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 the current state of Saks Global, including the appointment of a new CFO at a time when the company's finances are under increased scrutiny. We also talk about Richemont's better-than-expected earnings and what they indicate for the state of the luxury industry. And finally, we break down Inditex's decision to expand its ultra-low-priced fashion brand Lefties into new markets to compete more broadly with Shein. Later in the episode, we speak with Stephen and Erica Malbon, the co-founders of Malbon Golf. Malbon is known for its edgy, irreverent takes on traditional golf attire at a time when the sport is more popular than ever. Last year, one of Malbon's athletes, Jason Day, was asked to change his Malbon vest on the course because it was too distracting, a fortuitous moment for a brand that's intentionally trying to push the envelope of what golf attire can look like. Below are a few highlights from the conversation, lightly edited for clarity.

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.

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.

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?

For years, American consumers have been able to spend next to nothing on the latest fashion trends, thanks in large part to Chinese clothing companies like Shein and Temu. These businesses have long used a loophole to send millions of packages a day into the U.S. from China tax-free.Now, President Trump is closing that loophole, even as he de-escalates his larger trade war with China, and prices are going up.Meaghan Tobin, who covers business and technology in Asia, discusses whether this might be the end for fast fashion.Guest: Meaghan Tobin, a correspondent for The New York Times, covering business and technology in Asia.Background readingMeaghan Tobin and Agnes Chang write about President Trump's latest changes to taxes on small packages from China.Meaghan Tobin explains how a U.S. tax loophole supercharged China's exports.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.
