Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. I feel like there is a new trend every two days. And I do not know how to keep up. And by the time I figure it out, I’m already like four trends behind. But I just don’t know how people are buying these trends so quickly. How are people staying on top of all these new clothes we need every week? And turns out the answer is a little thing known as “fast fashion”. In today’s episode, we get into fast fashion. It’s been around for longer than you think and its impact and damage are even more than you think. Sorry babe, but you’re gonna take a real hard look at your closet after this one.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Bailey! A few months ago in June 2022 I went to the neurologist and got a brain scan. The woman who did it asked if I wanted to play anything on the device they handed me (didn’t have my phone at the time) and I had no idea what to watch until she mention “the lady who does true crime and makeup?” And I immediately said “BAILEY SARIAN”! And watched you while getting a brain scan 💖

@@pucca95776 : The idea is that plastic is wasteful and harms the world we all share. You're not "supposed" to do more than recycle, but plastic bags are rarely recycled, or even considered recyclable by some. It's not just this one thing, but so many ways we harm the world, and that harms all of us. We just need to become more responsible as individuals. That's a choice we are free to make. That's mostly all I felt I needed to say, but if anyone is interested I have something else I want say.. See, a lot of things were very different when I was younger. People under 40 never got to see the world itself in far better shape. I grew up in California and it used to rain here a lot. In fact, this is the first year it's even rained like it did in the 80's. But in the 70's we used to get on average about 28 days of rain in just the 4 summer months alone. But in the past couple of decades we were luck to get that much rain an entire year. Back then in the redwood park I lived next to as a kid, the forest floor in the late 70's was covered with waist high ferns and other plants and flowers. It was so thick you couldn't see the ground anywhere except on the trail and steep embankments. By 2000 the same forest floor was mostly just dirt, rocks, and sticks. A few small ferns here and there, but obviously the forest was drying up. Even in the 80's you could still see clouds coming out of the trees as the forest itself created them. All 20 of the largest fires in this state happened after 2000. The forest underbrush wasn't being cleared before then either, so anyone who tells you that's the problem with the fires is either ignorant, or lying. It's the extreme lack of rain that is the problem. Anyway, I'm just really sad right now thinking again of how much more beautiful the world was just a matter of decades ago. Some of it, like old growth forests is most places, are gone, and will take thousands of years to come back, if we finally get our collective act together. But do not despair! I've also been around ling enough to see every generation become less bigoted overall than their parents generation. But don't get sassy about that whipper snappers. lols Ir's the same for all of us. One day zoomers will be the next boomers. I only hope they have the wisdom to not accept even ageism, let alone classissm, racism, nationalism, transphobia, or any other form of bigotry. I have done my best to be an anti-bigot since I was a child, so from where I'm looking at things, I am proud of everyone who has at the very least tried to be a better person. No person is an island. We all stand on the collective shoulders of all of everyone else in society today, and the collective shoulders of all of humanities ancestors. We are indebted to everyone who ever participated in humanities evolution. Something critically important to understand too, it that we the 99% and our 99% ancestors created more than 99% of all the wealth that exists. Without us, the rich could not even exist as such. They need us just to have the ability to become rich. But we have exactly *zero* need of very rich people. Indeed the lives of all humanity would be greatly improved if no one was vastly richer than others. Don't get me wrong, people who work extra hard, and or do exceptional work do deserve to be rewarded. But society went way way past that many thousands of years ago with the first landlords. But as I said, humans are less and less bigoted over time, and so we move ever closer to actual freedom. It remains out of reach for now though because we have not as a species evolved to be responsible for freedom. True freedom requites that the great majority of humanity accept their responsibility to support peace and prosperity for everyone. And that is what I wish you and all my fellow Earthlings: peace and prosperity.❤🌍🌎🌏

I worked with the "less fortunate " community in my city for nearly 3 years. Even if they donated the clothes, they would end up in the dump or on the street within a few days to a few weeks. The people who "need" the clothes can't carry them around or wash them. Also a LOT of the time, they don't like what they are given and throw it out themselves. Also 2nd hand stores have marked up their prices so much it's not worth shopping there anymore because it costs nearly the same as a new item. The companies just need to stop making so much at a time.

I learned how to sew when I was 8. I started out making clothes for Barbie. By Junior high school I was making my own clothes. I continued on and went to the Fashion Institute of America. I ended up having my own design studio and manufacturer of private label for boutiques. And I did custom wedding gowns. My criteria for buying myself clothes is if I can make it and better. Too bad they don't teach sewing and pattern making in school anymore.

I actually learned baking and sewing in middle school and high school. I am just horrible at sewing. I definitely can sew buttons or holes closed or a ribbon onto a garment. I fancy up my clothes but they’re not professional. with a refresher. I could use the sewing machine for sure. My option, though for sustainability is to purchase almost everything I have second hand since I am visually impaired and sewing, is a horrific challenge for me if some thing is a little bit torn or broken, I definitely do fix it up myself, but to sew a garment for me Would not be possible for my limited eyesight I’m terrible with the stitching but I did learn and can definitely fix things in a pinch. Albeit not very well, but yes, I did learn and I’m very very glad that I did, and they should still teach this in school. People should know how to sew a button or fix a hole in a shirt quickly it’s really cool that you went to fashion school!

We need to get back to every family being self sufficient (grow your own food.... veggie gardens, have a couple cows, brood of chickens, couple pigs, goats and sheep). One (or more) farm fields were purchased to"plant" a field of solar panels. Yes, I know the solar panels benefit us.... but, these have taken TONS farm land that will now, no longer produce food for us and the animals! I think they should've found a way to allow fields to be worked for food AND place the solar panels way above the crops. Our farm land is disappearing which will raise grocery prices because there is less food being produced by our farmers.... unless solar panels are edible...😢

I think one of the biggest things is going to be ending the cycle of trends where we have new fashion trends coming out daily. Because that's just insane. I also think we are going to see a shift in people learning how to sew and tailor clothing again. The nice thing about that is if you get tired of something you own you can alter the garment to breathe new life into it. It's also a super useful skill to have. You can mend clothing you own instead of throwing it away and if you buy things from a thrift store you gain the ability to tailor them to fit you properly. I don't know I just personally think these are some steps in the right direction.

Bailey was in such a fun, goofy mood in this episode. It brightened my morning so much! About four years ago, I shared my admiration for her with my beloved son, who was immediately enamored. He described her as "engaging, hilarious, curvaceous, luscious and delightful." We used to watch her together during FaceTime calls. My son was killed two years ago and I am so very lost without him. I want to thank Bailey for the precious, cherished memories I have of my son and myself laughing so hard that we constantly had to go back and hear it again or listen to what we missed whilst we were so "tickled" by something wild that she said! I know she won't see this (plus, I am always a little late to the party because I take care of my mother, who is 90) but I just felt the need to express how I feel. 😍😥

I am forever grateful when people with large platforms and influence like yourself use them to educate people on this extremely important topic. I used to work for both Primark and H&M and my mind was so blown not only by some behind the scenes things I’m not ready to talk about (maybe in a future video…. I have so much tea!) but the occasional customers who would come in and still have the cognitive dissonance to complain that we were, “expensive,” among other things. The fact that SHEIN produces way more waste than all the other fast fashion stores COMBINED, but people continue to support it and the exploitation that comes along with it, while wanting better pay and working conditions for themselves is mind-blowing and depressing.

I've always loved pre-owned clothing bought at garage sales and resale shops. I stopped buying fast clothes and instead buy 2 new items of clothing each year. I do it fas a birthday gift and Christmas present to myself. These items are 3-4 times the cost buuuut they are made from much much better quality natural fabric. Cotton, wool, and linen. I do have less clothing now but I love every single peice I own.

There is a story that one time the company wrote a man up for leaving work when he literally had a heart attack and the ambulance had to take him away. Another story up there is that they deducted points from another man for missing work a day after his house was destroyed by a tornado… Yeah

This happens in almost all manufacturing factories, even in America with labor laws. Factory owners know how to get around those laws. Now they have the “Right to Work” laws that actually allow them to fire anyone, for any reason. They can hire temporary employees so they don’t have to offer any benefits or high wages. They can force overtime, with low pay, or they will just fire the employees if they refuse. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Those factories have several health and climate violations, but if an employee brings it up, they’ll be fired. 🤷🏻‍♀️People think these awful work practices happen in China and other countries, but they happen in every country.

I discovered SHEIN last year and was like “this is great!” Made orders a handful of times as needed new work attire for returning to in-office. I didn’t really realize what I was contributing to until I watched some random KZfaq video about it. Got disgusted, then deleted the app and vowed to only thrift moving forward. That’s it. I don’t need to contribute to this problem. When I first clicked on that initial KZfaq video that opened my eyes, I thought it would just be about SHEIN related things. But no. How silly and naive of me. As I watched, realized these other brands are just as bad. Thanks for spreading awareness on this topic! Just like my come to light moment months ago, you’re creating more of those moments for viewers that had no clue like I did not all that long ago. Gotta slap the world out of it.

I don’t know if it means anything, but I’ve been trying to use up all of my spare fabrics and old clothes to make “new” pieces to wear. I’ve actually been thinking about the problem that fast fashion has had on the environment, and, because I work minimum wage and can barely afford to buy myself new clothes, I’ve just been reusing and restyling some of my older clothes. I still keep any fabric that I have cut away to use for scrap, and I’ve been getting into patchwork styles because I can use up even the smallest piece of useable scrap for a design. Plus, I’m a heavier woman, and it’s harder to find clothes that I really like in my size. I got fed up one day and just started making my own clothes. I don’t want it to seem that I’m trying to make myself out to be better than anyone else. I guess that’s just how I’m trying to minimize my carbon footprint a little bit from the planet.

Maybe how accessible they are or like I said, you might need a specific article of clothing (not for fashion but for work or school) and need it quickly and affordably.

Find a fashion design student, and work out a deal with them where you pay for eco fabrics, like bamboo, and their time to make clothing for you. They get to build a portfolio, and you get original clothes for a price you can afford. Even having a dressmaker work with patterns and your choice of fabric costs less than you think. You only buy what you need, and wear the clothing with different accessories to give it a fresh look. Stop throwing money at out of control capitalists and love the clothes YOU choose while helping an individual start their career, or a retired person who loves to sew.🖤🇨🇦

But people don't want to even pay you a minimum wage for a sewing job, which is a skilled labour and should be worth more than minimum wage (especially because you also have to have equipment). If someone wants me to make a basic pant to their measurements it means I need to take their measurements, draft a pattern, make a toile, make adjustments, then draft the final pattern, then make the pant. This is easily a full day of work, at £11 an hour that's almost £100, plus materials (depending on your fabric, this will be £15-40), and this is a lower estimate. And that's at minimum wage. Very few people are willing to pay this.

My daughter buys her own clothing and just had a Valentine’s Day dance she bought a $45 dress from shein and it looked like it was custom made and altered to her. It was perfect based on the measurements online. I think a lot of it is people are unaware where anything comes from. 99% of all our clothes come from China and from sweatshops.

I think we can look for companies that still make their clothes in the U.S./Thrift stores. It is a little bit of work because you have to kind of dig and research your way into finding that out. But all of that depends on how passionate you are about the problems of ‘fast fashion’. I for one taught myself not too long ago that I would rather want a smaller closet of expensive statement pieces that I know looks great on me and will last a long time, rather then a bunch of clothes that will tear apart in a few months. What I want to start doing is donating my “fast fashion” clothes I have when I no longer want them, and will only buy expensive authentic pieces that I know are made without the use of overworked people in other countries. After watching this episode I feel disappointed in the U.S. citizens and government for lack of work and research against these sort of things. I want to actually try and work towards better without letting my financial status be a excuse. Easier said then done and I do also use brands like Zara, Shein, ect. I want to change how I look at fashion and how I buy my clothing after doing my own research. Hopefully my generation will learn eventually to steer away from these big corporations. I am 20 years old and really need to re-educate myself on a lot of things we as consumers put our $$ into.

I just bought a set of 100% linen sheets for my bed. I *love* them. But they were literally 6x what hellmart charges for microfiber sheets, and they were 50% off. If you want nicer stuff, it's going to have to be an investment. Fash fashion won't hack it.

Zara wasn’t fast fashion until recently. My uncle who is petite has had to purchase his clothes bags and winter coats from Zara for years because the European cut fit him better. Zara is no longer the same. (We’re from NY and this was years and years ago.) I’m 29. This is like when I was 12

I’m chilean but I don’t live in Chile anymore for a few years, I knew this was a problem up in the desert when the report came out but nobody around me (currently I’m in Germany) cared about it. Is crazy how inconsiderate people I talked to wearing fast fashion -let’s say Zara or Shein -were. Too much talk for nothing, here are very known for how green and aware and you name it… they are. But sometimes when the problem is far away, is not a problem anymore.

They won’t because most of them are only about money and these companies are paying them big bucks to collab and do ads with them.

Not saying they’re all like that but I’m mainly speaking about the tik tok ones & the ones under 25.

It is so much cheaper to buy fast fashion than to sew your own. I sew some of my own clothes and it probably costs more and it does not include your time. However, the clothes I made will last forever (especially because I can mend them). I can also fix some of the corner cutting in fast fashion so learning to sew and mend are amazing skills.

Thrifting & style fast shops are better in price & almost always have Lula Roe, Calvin Klein, Gap, Old Navy, White House/ Black Market for around 70 to 80% off original high end retail prices. Love your hairstyle pig tails & peace until the next show, hugs, Janine Smiley🙂😀😉🤗🤩🏡🚗🚘⌚🛋🚪🛏🌚🌠

I have so little clothing, I could fit it all in my hiking bag. I've never enjoyed new clothes. I'm too relaxed in the same things I've always worn. If an item gives out/breaks, I replace it, usually in local thrift stores. It's not the money that's the issue. I have specific clothing and absolutely dread the days when I couldn't decide what to wear. Too many options wasted so much time for me. I'd try on this or that and nothing seemed to fit right or match the occasion. So, I got rid of everything but the small amount I still have. I look like I'm wearing the same thing most days but it has saved me so much stress. I made that transformation about 10 years ago and don't regret it at all. I save money, the planet and my sanity by going minimalist. I really enjoyed this informative video, though. I learned so much. Also wanted to take a sec to appreciate your stunning hair, though. Your curls are crazy perfect.

"Wonderland" by Steven Johnson is an excellent collection of fun history, but it includes a chapter on the development of the modern department store (how they are designed to have you go home with a dish towel you don't remember picking up), as well as how studies on early department store shoplifters (typically affluent young women, well before Winona) actually debunked several core theories in criminology at the time.
