EP30: The Pros and Cons of Secondhand Fashion: With The Vintage Seeker

In this episode, I talk about my experience in the fashion education system and break down core issues that are hindering industry progress, fashion sustainability and innovation. I break things down from unsustainable teaching practices, outdated teaching methods, over-packed curriculums and more. I also spend some time discussing some of the solutions that could revolutionize the way fashion is taught and consequently, produced in a way that nurtures innovative thinking and allows the designers of the future to see human rights and sustainability as the default to start working in fashion.Follow my fashion design projects on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crisdesignsthings/" rel="nofollow">@crisdesignsthings</a>Follow the podcast on instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired.podcast/" rel="nofollow"> @naturspired.podcast</a><a href="https://www.naturspired.com/podcast" rel="nofollow">Click Here For Shownotes &amp; Resources</a>Like the podcast? Leave a review on <a href="https://g.page/r/CR0km5chjrGPEAI/review" rel="nofollow">Google</a> or <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/naturspired-podcast-sustainable-fashion/id1608950098" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>!

EP29: What The Fashion Education System Is Gravely Lacking

Welcome back to the Naturspired Podcast! After a 4+ month-long silence, I&#39;m back to help you feel inspired by nature and shift fashion from the inside out. Today I wanted to have an honest conversation about where my life is and how things have been going but I also wanted to talk about the power of positivity in creating real systemic change in the fashion industry.In this episode, I discuss the power of positivity in igniting action and real behavioural change. Like, you know how we&#39;re more likely to adopt a new habit in our lives if it offers a positive solution or makes our lives easier? As humans, we&#39;re psychologically wired to want positive incentives to do positive things. And solely focusing on the negative can (in some cases) actually be counterproductive to activism and can result in fear, despair and a sense of hopelessness in our communities. So how do we address talking about the real issues in fashion while also inspiring a positive response? My theory is that by approaching the issues and problems in fashion from an educational perspective, but inspiring action from a place of positivity, excitement and joy, we might be able to create a world or industry that thrives on change. Not one that views change as a tedious task that &#34;has to be done&#34; in order to be considered good people.Follow my fashion design projects on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crisdesignsthings/" rel="nofollow">@crisdesignsthings</a>Follow the podcast on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired.podcast/" rel="nofollow">@naturspired.podcast</a><a href="https://www.naturspired.com/podcast" rel="nofollow">Click Here For Shownotes &amp; Resources</a>Like the podcast? Leave a <a href="https://g.page/r/CR0km5chjrGPEAI/review" rel="nofollow">review on Google</a>!

To recap, SHEIN is the worst contributor to fast fashion, trumping their other fast fashion rivals in mass by launching over 9000 new products every day producing over 30 BILLION dollars a year in disposable clothes. With all this said, doesn&#39;t it make you think - how is this possible? And what do these statistics say about fast fashion and the way we&#39;re moving as an industry? What&#39;s going on and how is this even legal?

BEFORE YOU START: Marketing is important in business. BUT there is a consideration to be had between using marketing solely to increase profits without consideration of your business practices and using marketing to support the positive impact your business is doing. I&#39;m very cautious with how often or how much marketing/sales advice I put out on this platform because my mission is not to promote overconsumption and overproduction but to help society, brands and individuals who wear clothes feel empowered by how you connect to business, fashion and to give you tools to do better in the industry.With that said, this episode is aimed towards sustainable fashion brands who have already done their ethical due diligence in their operations and supply chain, but just need the extra hand in getting the word out there, reaching their target audience and making their mark in the industry.Like the podcast? Leave a <a href="https://g.page/r/CR0km5chjrGPEAI/review" rel="nofollow">review on Google</a>!→ <a href="https://naturspired.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to the newsletter here</a>→ Starting a Sustainable Fashion Brand?<a href="http://naturspired.com/services" rel="nofollow"> Let&#39;s Chat!</a><ul><li>We can help you with sustainable fashion consulting, coaching, transparency management and more!</li></ul>→ <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/09beedff-117d-4044-b667-a1a23904e1d9/donations" rel="nofollow">Support the podcast here</a>→ Follow the podcast on instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired.podcast/" rel="nofollow"> @naturspired.podcast</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

I&#39;m not trying to stir the pot, but this is an important thing to talk about. How are we going to create true material change in the fashion industry if all we&#39;re doing is mass-producing more of something better? The key to moving the dial towards a sustainable future and a circular economy starts far from the raw materials and has everything to do with how we think, relate and connect to fashion as businesses, brands and as a society as a whole. And this is what we cover in today&#39;s episode.→ <a href="https://naturspired.com/subscribe/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to the newsletter here</a>→ Starting a Sustainable Fashion Brand? <a href="https://naturspired.com/services/" rel="nofollow">Check out our services</a>!<ul><li>We can help you establish a sustainable business strategy, grow your brand identity and provide resources to help you effectively dominate the market.</li></ul>→ <a href="https://app.redcircle.com/shows/09beedff-117d-4044-b667-a1a23904e1d9/donations" rel="nofollow">Support the podcast here</a>﻿→ Follow the podcast on instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturspired.podcast/" rel="nofollow"> @naturspired.podcast</a> Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/naturspired-podcast/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
