Fashion Devastation and Mindless Shopping

/ Leave a Comment

Another Example of People’s Inaction in Hunting for Cheap Clothing


Last week, we witnessed yet another TV program highlighting the immense devastation caused by the fashion industry and mindless shopping. This time, the focus was specifically on the fast fashion and ultra-fast fashion segments, although the issue pertains to the fashion system as a whole.

The program “Newsroom,” titled “Buy, Wear, and Toss,” covered aspects we’ve discussed repeatedly. Indeed, there was nothing new.

“Every year, 150 billion new pieces of clothing are produced worldwide, sold at rock-bottom prices, and of increasingly poor quality. They are worn only a few times, then end up at the back of the closet and are never used again. But what happens when we get rid of them? Where do all these clothes end up? The episode follows their long journeys to Ghana – where they pollute the beaches and the ocean – and the Atacama Desert in Chile, magnificent places that have become immense open-air dumps. Behind every t-shirt sold for a few euros, there is not only pollution but also the exploitation of low-cost labour and a huge business on which organised crime has also set its sights.”

Fashion devastation means overproduction, overconsumption, waste, pollution, exploited workers and modern-day slavery. We have explored these topics in detail in previous posts:

The land of waste
From fast to ultra-fast: a cultural regression
Fashion waste visible from space
Behind the Seams: Fashion Industry & Forced Labour


Conclusion

These are just a few examples, as we frequently share news, information, and thoughts on these crucial matters. Indeed, discussing style without setting priorities would be naive and utterly pointless.

In the end, no piece of clothing that costs just a few euros comes without the exploitation of a worker. However, one image powerfully captured the fashion devastation and mindless shopping: a man standing on heaps of garbage, mountains of clothing piling up, holding a tag from a certified green company. Sad irony! The consequences of mindless shopping in the Global North significantly impact the Global South. That conveys a clear idea of how fake the façade of sustainability in the fashion industry is.

While we are glad to see these issues gaining attention, as we have explored over the past five years of blogging, we feel a sense of bitterness in realising that nothing ever changes.

Exclusive Slow Fashion in Small Batches

Good Design & Thoughtful Lifestyle #ForModernHumans


What do we do?


We offer exclusive slow fashion in small batches, carefully selected from independent international designers, with a particular passion for Japanese brands. Our selection intentionally offers limited pieces to ensure uniqueness and a sustainable approach. Indeed, to minimise waste, we limit the quantities of pieces we order. Also, we reduce packaging to the essentials. Our aim is not to accumulate more but rather to prioritise quality over quantity. So, it is not whether an item is from the current season or not, but rather it is about whether it is truly worth having. It’s about enduring value.

Why do we do it?


The traditional fashion industry model, focused on endless growth, overproduction, and rampant consumption, is no longer viable. Game over. With 2024 potentially surpassing 2023 as the hottest year on record due to human-caused climate change, the need for a different approach is urgent. We must make a change.

Who is it for?


Our approach isn’t for everyone. If you don’t see a problem with overconsumption, disposable garments, frequent flights, constantly upgrading tech devices, and so on, our offerings may not resonate with you. However, if you recognize the urgency of climate breakdown and believe in the necessity of change, you’ll find kindred spirits here.

Our selections are for those who reject business as usual and understand the importance of respecting planetary boundaries. We cater to individuals who are passionate about discussing climate change, ethical business practices, and a thoughtful lifestyle. If we fail to understand and operate within these limits, we risk heading towards extinction.
Change must happen now, not later.

Evolved fashion design must start from this awareness. A meaningful lifestyle begins here. Our exclusive slow fashion in limited pieces reflects this ethos: encouraging questions, finding solutions, and sharing meaningful ideas.

John Keats, Inspiration From the Classics

/ Leave a Comment

A Metaphor for Life at the Time of Social Media


Exploring the literary classics, such as the works of John Keats, offers timeless guidance and profound inspiration, with reflections that resonate even in our modern era. Sometimes, while searching for something work-related, certain words catch your eye and prompt deep reflection. Read this:

“How beautiful are the retired flowers! — how would they lose their beauty were they to throng into the highway, crying out: ‘Admire me, I am a violet! Dote upon me, I am a primrose!'”

John Keats

This vividly depicts today’s digital culture, where the cry for attention has become a widespread behaviour. Keats’ words resonate as a metaphor for life in the age of social media. In fact, they exquisitely describe the “please-look-at-me” attitude that seems to dominate human existence. Like a virtual marketplace that seems more like a butcher shop, people expose their bodies or specific parts. Specifically, boobs, bottoms, abs. Also, tag themselves in luxury locations, or post bizarre videos. It appears to be the only way to affirm human existence. Posts are often superficial, heavily filtered, or outright fake, with little value in the shared content. In our digital age, social media has become a platform that fuels a desperate quest for attention. Being noticed is all that counts.

In contrast, Keats’ observation highlights the inherent beauty in modesty and subtlety. His words poignantly capture the essence of how the quest for validation diminishes the beauty and value of one’s presence and contributions. Just as flowers would lose their charm if they demanded admiration, so too do people on social media lose their appeal when they seek validation.

Thus, the classics represent a timeless source of inspiration that helps us understand our modern-day lifestyle. John Keats’ insightful quote reminds us of the essence of modesty and the understated elegance. Qualities we lose in the pursuit of attention. It’s a powerful call to appreciate the quiet beauty in ourselves and in the world around us, without the need for constant validation.
