Thank you to Matt, Steph and the Style Theorists team for putting this together! It was such a surprise and an honor to be on your channel. (I’m getting emotional as I write this bc your support and friendship mean so much to me.) This episode was so well researched and executed. Right now the only thing stronger than the Shein monster are the collective dollars we’re using to feed them. It’s like consumers say they want one thing (sustainability, better working conditions etc) but their spending habits tell a completely different story…so…it’s a weird, murky situation, but this story ain’t over. To be continued!
you deserve better, I hope that you can stop them.😊
Here early and angry at shein bc I saw ur post before the theory
Shein is based
It's so true
@@jayc33day Shien is UnBased
Style Theory is a great opportunity to expose the extent fast fashion extorts their employees. ROAST THEM MATPAT
ROAST 'EM MATPAT
ROAST ‘EM MATPAT!
Yea do a collab with illuminanughti
ROAST ‘EM DOWN TO DUST MATPAT!!!!
@@KungFuBurrito ROAST EM MATPAT
Unfun fact: some SHIEN clothes actually have dyes that contain led and other toxic things due to the materials being so cheap
Lawsuits is bound to happen after I read that
yeah, shein products that were tested for lead (including baby/kids clothes) were shown to have like WAY MORE lead than the legal ammount. and by WAY MORE i mean WAY WAY more. i forgot the exact ammount but im guessing ab 40x more?? idk, i just remember it was a LOT.
And radiation
@@idrkginaf4204 yeah that too
@@aesthetimae1846my goodness how are they still running?
5 worst things about shein
1. they plagiarised small designers
2. they had made offensive products
3. they pollute the environment.
4. they have toxic dyes in their clothes
5. they are terrible to workers
So do U.S designers
@@ScreamTatumRiley Not quite. The person you're responding to gave one company and you've said 'U.S designers'. Of course, there's no doubt that probably some US designers have questionable practices. By and large, US designers would more reliably be in line with social causes because China is notoriously 80 years behind on social issues, in fact, even pushing in the opposite direction.
SHEIN had the audacity to be one of the unskippable ads I saw while watching 😃
No cause I literally had one too as I was gonna go comment 😭
SAME!!!
Sameeee
I immediately got a Shein and when clicking the video I ain't kidding 💀
Same here. Oh the irony in seeing them "sponsor" the video roasting them
Many artists I follow straight up had their art ripped or traced, and thrown on Shein clothes and accessories. Because these artists aren't massive corporations, they can't afford the legal battle it'd take to get this taken down either, which is freaking SCUMMY of Shein, and I hate them for it.
Aren’t massive*
@@Meimoons didn't notice the typo, thanks!
They should start hiding copyright traps in their portfolios
@@aetheralmeowstic2392 YES
I've seen artists work that I follow also be straight up stolen on aliexpress too. It sucks 😔
SHE GOT A PATENT TO PROTECT HER SKORT DESIGN THIS JANUARY it’s such an achievement after all that she in did to her designs ❤
I actually follow the Lady who made them, And I feel really bad for her cause, they’re making more money that’s she’s getting off of HER OWN DESIGN!!! 😭Her clothes are fitting for all, and definitely deserve ALOT of credit AND money.
Such a tragedy how they took advantage of her
Don't worry! She got a patent for her skort this January.
My mom is a fashion designer and having helped her get her work done I can say for a fact the designers put their all into their designs. I remember times when my mom would work nearly 3 days straight with minimal rest just to get a collection done for a show. Or times where she'd spend weeks sketching, measuring, sewing, scraping and repeating that process just to get the perfect design. So when I see Shien copying work that literally took blood sweat and tears from tens or hundreads of hours of work by small designers it really upsets me. (Seriously though it litterally takes blood, swea, and tears. Those sewing needles a brutal)
times when*
I couldn’t agree more.
😢
boo hoo
@@jhonklan3794 loser.
YES. Unironically, please please PLEASE do a style theory all about roasting Shein, it'll give so much awareness and be so funny to just hear Mat go off
Same!
That will be amazing
I hope it will happen
If you want a video looking into Shein and how bad they are, look up 'Shein iilluminaughtii'. It's quite long but I'd say it's worth it. But yeah matpat please do another episode on shein they suck
YES YES. Put em under heat!
can we all say a collective thank you to matpat, for making a heterosexual norm for caring about style and self care for men?
since when is not a norm for straight men to care about style and self care??
@@dYstop1a_ Well
what does sexuality have to do with this..
@@dYstop1a_ idk man it's just usually its made fun of
@@hairymclairyfm really? Arent a lot of them obsessed with like self help and the gym and all that?
Legal Eagle would be great for a team up video! Especially for theories that cover legal aspects. P.s Thanks for creating engaging and thought provoking content that's always entertaining. You're the man MatPat!!
Shein is the Screen Rant of fashion
*Flashbacks to the invisible man video*
Omg what are you doing here?🤨
Lmaoo i know the story thats how deep i am committed to your channel
Why Screen Rant?
Lol
This reminds me of when an artist I loved suddenly passed away and a note book company stole her art and slapped it on thier notebooks. They claimed that they had her permission because they had contacted her about it, but there was no evidence in thier conversations of her ever having agreed to it. It was so disgusting that they would take advantage of her death like that
They did what...?! EXCUSE ME, THIS NOTEBOOK COMPANY DARE TAKE HER DEATH LIKE THAT?! They have summoned my wrath of THEORIES!
I remember something similar happened to another artist who passed away...
but instead the person made it an NFT :/...
OMG THE AUDACITY 🤬🤬🤬
An nft? 🤨🤨🤨
Wait is this about Qinnie? Maybe it’s the wrong artist but this story sounds familiar. Bless her soul…
It would be so cool if a disguised big fashion designer (disguised as smaller one) gets their idea ripped off and fights back with big money
0:37 SHEIN EVEN STOLE HIS CHANNEL 😂
Had to come watch this because as a small artist, I have seen several mutual artists have their work stolen because of this terrible company.
What??? I didn’t even know???
How the hell did you comment an hour ago?
@gammascience4111fr
what do you mean an hour ago ?!!!!!
WAIT THE VIDEO’S ONLY BEEN OUT FOR 7 MIN SO HOW IS THIS COMMENT 1 HOUR OLD-
I remember seeing this girl talk about this and I've been boycotting ever since.
Edit: I wanted to add that it was rlly nice for Matpat to stand up for his friend(s) and also other fashion designers. Nice job!
@The day is finally here that’s a rickroll-
@@sanannybananny there is so many bots here it’s kinda scary
@@-Fungus- fr
I saw a video of someone talking about it too, and I've also been boycotting
@@-Fungus- So, report them and their owners all.
I personally would love to see episodes about the ethical and environmental concerns of fast fashion as a whole, but especially Shien.
Heaps on this topic in the costube community - try Nicole Rudolph's excellent vid on the history of how we got to this fast fashion hell, or the Karolina Zebrowska vid that MatPat briefly highlighted, amongst others?
I saw this thumbnail and immediately thought “wait.. isn’t that Cassey’s skort? “ and lo and behold YEP it was! Not at all shocking. Usually Shein knocks off old/discontinued/ niche or unknown /foreign brands so nobody calls them out. I remember like last year they knocked off a Ma*rs (Japanese deadstock Agejo Gyaru) dress that was super popular within the Gal community literally EXACTLY. Same fabric, design, flairs, bows, straps, colors, print… it was so blatant that if you zoomed in you could literally SEE the ma*rs logo WHERE IT WAS ON THE OG DRESS. Not blurred or anything. It was crazy. It sucks that this happened to Cassey though! I absolutely adore her work and have bought from her brand a ton. I’ve been boycotting Shein because of their LONG list of issues. I’d absolutely love to see a style theory video on them absolutely tearing them to shreds though!
The AUDACITY for a Shein ad to pop up while watching this video is CRAZY😂
You can thank Google for that one.
oml i got an ad from Shein too😭
just dont have ads at all
@@sm_stormzy1075 I used to have yt premium but it gets hard to pay for, don't get all stuck up about it.
I GOT ONE TOO i cant-
Honestly, i'm waiting for the episodes like "does your hairstyle DESTROY your hair?" because i'm ponytail guy and lately experimenting with other kind of tying hairs or "do you really need shampoo?" because of the history before hair cosmetic products
I'm waiting for an episode covering" Brazilian waxes" and why women still get them despite all the health risks associated with it.
My father doesn't use shampoo and has been using only soap water since childhood he 50 and no white hair only his beard is getting white
Maybe that's because of his great diet and lifestyle but i don't think shampoo is necessary
Yes they do, ponytail is not a hairstyle, is something practical you do in a hurry, I learned that the hard way
Waiting for that too man
666 likes. should i like or not?
We need a website that has all the designers that Shein copies so we know directly where to go instead!
Came back to let y’all know Shein just got hit with that RICO
I honestly don't know how SHEIN has the audacity to continue as a company 😭
They're a Chinese company, this stuff has been happening way before SHEIN.
I got shein ads watching this
Money
Yup, money
@@christianlabray8729 I was wondering if anyone else have a SHEIN ad pop up while watching this?
I’m both glad I wasn’t the only one and peeved that it happened at all.
I’ve also seen stories of shein stealing people’s art to put on phone cases and heard stories about them stealing jewelry designs. I would love a theory on how things like that would play out in court. It seems like a large part of the products they sell are stolen from small creators and I really hope there is a way to get them to stop.
Yep, not just Shein. All kinds of merch and printing companies rip off designs and put them on their items (or allow the sellers they host to). Had this situation when working for a big charity in the UK where exclusive new designs we had worked on with famous illustrators and artists were getting ripped off. So doesn't matter to them who it is - small creator, big charity, anyone
My sister did a presentation about this. They steal from artists a lot especially for their sticker packs. Even if they get caught, send apology emails, and maybe even compensation, they do it again and again.
I wonder that’s the copyright law on sticker and phone case designs?
This is where my wife seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. We're poor, and because of her body shape it's really hard to find clothes that fit, let alone clothes that she can feel cute and confident in. And there's very little places where she can find what she's looking for, for a price that we can actually afford. We've tried looking around.
We know about how they steal, we know how the clothes aren't the best material, but when it's between wearing bland illfitting clothes from walmart that makes her feel like a potato, and Shein where she likes how she looks, we're going to pick that one.
Honey doesn't always provide the discounts that we need that could bring the clothes into our budget.
But if anyone has any alternatives, I'm all ears. or eyes, since i'm reading.
Thrifting might be an option for you. But don’t feel evil for doing what you have to do. There’s only so much available when you have few funds
Honestly, when times are tough there's nothing wrong with doing what you can for yourself, even if your options aren't ideal. Feeling comfortable and confident in how you look is a major boost to your self esteem, and is important for your mental health! I understand the conflict between not wanting to support Shein and also wanting to have access to clothes that make your wife feel like her best self; and it certainly seems like you've looked at alternative options, so your heart is clearly in the right place. Maybe think of it as using Shein as a stepping stone to a better place financially, at which point you'll be able to support more ethical options?
And, as others have said, thrifting and goodwill might be alternative options in the meantime. If your wife has any interest in sewing, thrifting and modifying clothes just for her can also be a really rewarding hobby to pick up! I have a couple outfits made out of old recycled sheets and curtains, and even walmart's clothes can be made way better with a bit of fitting to body shape.
I really don’t recommend going for Shein because of the working conditions they put their workers in (and their rip-offs) but also safety.
One out of every 5 of their clothing is laced with high amounts of lead that can’t be washed out. By buying these products, you have a more likely chance to be wearing clothing laced with lead in the dye that will severely impact your health.
Even though you may be poor, is it worth risking your health by possibly wearing clothes covered In high amounts of lead and unsafe material?
Some alternatives can just be looking at Ross, (maybe Walmart?) and other thrifting stores like everyone else suggested.
i understand your situation and id say preferably go thrifting but dont feel bad because at least yours is a mindful purchase and you dont really have other options however what really ticks me off is the rich girlies doing 100$ shein hauls on their high rise apartment in the city
@@Cruxia13 slave labor is okay if you are poor?
We're talking about a lot of 'fast fashion' in one of my classes at school so if you did an episode on SHEIN work conditions that would save me a lot of essay research lol
Lol, relatable
just a reminder guys - its not JUST SHEIN, unless we boycott all fast fashion companies (SHEIN, Target, Zara, Forever 21, TJ Maxx, Walmart, etc.) there will always be design stealing in the fashion industry. be careful out there!
edit: corrected spelling
but if a fast fashion company sees that one company failed because of this they might avoid it so their company stays afloat or at least do it a little bit less.
@@Ash-n-Niamh it may discourage some companies from doing so, but it will never go fully away unless copyright/patent laws can change, i see what you're saying though!
Feel like we should he pressuring the making of the laws to protect fashion more aswell.
@@angelr194 Chinese copyright law is even a lot more lenient than here in America sadly. 😢
Thanks for the list to look into.
This episode kinda got me thinking. Maybe you could do a theory on MLMs? They sure as heck tend to afflict fashion brands more than any other medium.
What's MLMs?
Also popular MLM's include Tupperware, Color Street, Scentsy, and Thirty-One Gifts
@@anhurtorrez multilevel marketing a.k.a pyramid schemes
@@anhurtorrezMulti Level Marketing companies sometimes referred to as pyramid schemes, although I believe they're different. Illuminaughtii has some great videos about the scandals they get into.
Avon video?
No cuz I did talk to one of my friends about it who got from the website but she had the audacity to just be like, “Oh I know. But it’s cheaper so I’m still gonna buy”
I’m so glad you covered this MatPat! I’d love to see you cover fast fashion more in future episodes.
fast fashion like this is the reason i’m learning to sew my own clothing and why i try to get clothing from smaller creators
Same! I am also learning how to repair clothes so they last longer. And thrift when it is a piece of clothing I can't make yet.
I honestly dream of the day I can do this. I love supporting small loval businesses, but I don't have the means to support them all. Maybe one day my art will take off and my studio will grow. ❤
I never thought of that!Maybe I should try that as well.
@@-human2 i recommend it, especially if you have an odd body type like mine or have some specific insecurities, that way you can make clothing that fits perfectly to you, and also in any way you like! i’m still learning after about a dozen projects, but it’s really fun so far
@@catastrophicfailure2745 okay,thanks!
Just like food theory, I was a bit concerned about style theory, but both channels have produced some of my favorite vids, props to Matt and his team.
Concerned? 😂
I mean... there was nothing to be concerned about food theory. Food Science alone has a lot of topics to be discussed about, not to mention legal stuff involving food.
However, as someone who isn't much into style and most of what I expected this channel is about, I can relate to how you feel about Style Theorists and the videos so far.
It’s sad that my family doesn’t know about how evil Shein is and they keep buying I wish I could show this to them 😭
Blogilates postin some clothings makes of her own for the ladies of all colors, shapes, sizes and also ages. She’s being iconic ✨
i have a video idea!!! is katniss everdeen's outfit in the "hunger games: catching fire" (where it goes into flames and transform into a new dress) possible? could that actually work?
THIS
Yeah, that’d be great!
I wonder if they could do a cross over theory between film and style theory since ballad of songbirds is coming out soon too
That sounds pretty dope
On a similar note, I'd love to see one about Cruella's black and white ball dress.
Style theory: is it possible to ethically purchase clothes at all?
I wonder this always
if ur not rich... no
If you thrift them from a charitable organization I suppose.
@@granesperanza6478 right? The hardest part is getting the clothes made ethically in the first place
Buying a phone is even more impossible because of cobalt mining and alot of more problems
Would love an episode on if those new odd facial products actually do anything for your jaw and skin
Like those ice rollers and jade stones that are supposed to move your jaw, do they actually do anything? Always wondered if it worked or was just a lie.
THANK U FOR DOING BLOGILATES, I AM A NEW FAN OF HER (SINCE A FEW MONTHS AGO) TY SO MUCH MAT
As someone from a third-world country, something I really wanted from this video was an alternative. Shein is pretty much the only shop that keeps popping up on my timelines, so personally there aren't many options to choose from. Shein has cool looking fashion for cheap prices, so its hard to not consider them especially when you're a broke college student.
That being said, anyone know any alternatives? Preferably near southeast asia.
Have you heard of Temu?
I’m from Malaysia and I agree that it’s really difficult to not buy from fast fashion companies especially when thrift shops aren’t common either. I usually get my clothing from online instagram stores that design their own clothes or I try Shopee even though it’s not that much better
I buy secondhand from Thredup or Poshmark
Sustainable and ethical means more expensive.
Shein is cheap because it's nearly slavery
Thrifting, if socially acceptable and available
I was peacefully watching, and then RUclips put an ad for SHEIN in the middle of the video, I laughed so hard at the irony 😂
Bruhhhhh
Bruh moment
Same here.
Same! XD
Meetoo
Please do more episodes about Shein but also other fast fashion websites that are doing similar actions!
6:25 was not expecting to see this clip but liked the video immediately after seeing it
Please do another episode about shein!! It's so painful that they're still thriving when we know that they're such an unethical company, and hopefully more awareness will help combat their success
You should look into hot topic outright stealing artwork from online and printing it on their shirts and pins without permission! It’s definitely something that falls under copyright so I’ve wondered how they’ve gotten away with it.
I think it’s because some shirts with artists designs are under contract with the actual artist
Not saying all are just that I have seen some artist say they have a contract with hot topic and they weren’t stolen
somehow I managed to get a shein ad while watching this video
Yes to that theory about Shein. Some of my family and friends continue to use it after I showed them how bad Shein is treating their workers.
Definitely make a video about how bad Shein is. On top of the OSHA violations, some of Shein’s products have also been found to contain dangerous amounts of lead.
I didn't know that Shein was such a bad company until I heard the news about Cassie's work, I feel so bad for her!
One has really really research companies. Back in the 1980's if anything said "Made in China" on it, it meant it was a garbage knock off. The thing that happened in the 1980's was in the US and Canada non-profits lobbied to have a lot of regulatory protections, like environmental protections and other regulations implemented. They do that to this day. It's something of an ok practice as it's not considered stealing to take something else as long as it fits Chinese Laws
we love fash mat i just know fashion theory will go through every single type of problems or help on fashion and i just can't wait for next video
i swear you guys have a theory channel for anything and everything
I'd love an episode about Shein itself! Or even one that's about which brands are actually sustainable and have workers who work reasonable hours for a reasonable pay... It would probably help out others too who would like to start shopping more ethically but don't know where to start!
This is a great idea! I don't do much clothes shopping, so making sure to get my clothes from brands that are actually ethical would be something I'm interested in!
@@hawklegs6940 I suggest watching Shelbizleee, shes is a youtuber that gives tips on how to live sustainably and has a video in which she ranks the best ethical clothing brands.
Same I’d love to do that but it is very hard for me to find out where to start at. So it would be asome to get a video on that!
You guys should do a theory about women’s multiple products being used for hair/face vs the meme of guys using 42in 1 shampoo/conditioner and their hair looking great/their face being clear lol
men’s products are probably better
Oh for sureee. Recently saw a similar meme on a subreddit for skincare and was glad to see some great conversation around it.
Yeahh! I'm sure there's some unnecessary women's products out there we could cut out
Honestly I haven’t seen faces doing that the same way 42in 1 have for hair, in fact I’ve seen quite the opposite
Yes please do a full shein video! Personally Im more interested in ethical production concerns when it comes to things I buy, I already avoid brands like shein but would love to learn more about it :)
It almost feels as shein laughs and sits back while things like these happen. Something needs to be done and NOW.
Maybe try doing a theory on Doctor Squatch to see if their soap really is superior to normal big brand soaps 0.0
Or maybe a theory on how they started as a company drop shipping soap from The Soap Guy. Fr though the soap guy is the same as Dr squatch and prices are way cheaper
Yes
I love blogilates, so when I saw her designs, I fell in love with them. I'm not surprised Shein would try to plagiarize her work 🙄
7:03 you are not alone MatPat
WHOLE SHIEN EP ASAP!!!!
I’ve noticed SHEIN has been doing this and that’s why I’ve been making sure I don’t order from them everrrr
They’re also basically slave labor
If you do an episode on Shein get illuminaughty to feature in the video. She’s made so many videos on the horrible practices they do
Yes, I'd love to see a MatPat and iiluminaughtii team up!
Blair would be an incredible choice for helping out with Style Theory videos - not just Shien, there's been several "guests" on the Corporate Casket they could pull from. I'd love to see it~
Holy smokes, you’re right! That would be a great video!
Bro that would be amazing
@@ValeOfMuses Yeah Thinx is pretty bad. Toxic clothing is a whole thing, unfortunately
*I’ve heard about all of this things going on and I’m just confused.
When I ordered it said that everything was made from a different store so that’s why it takes so long to get the clothes.*
*Shein is also known as a marketplace, so clothes or anything sold on their is from other shops Shein is probably just a market place to get other stores out there.*
*So it has confirmed themselves their not a whole factory.
But I love this as much as I love any other video done by matt.*
out of topic but thank you for putting subtitles on all of your vids :D
You guys may have seen the “MA⚡️MA” shirts, my friend and her graphic artist came up with that design for her Shop Pink&Palm that helped fund resources for moms in crisis and Forever21 stole it first and then Shein and the rest of the world. Very sad, hers is still the best rendition, but she was so discouraged. She shut her shop down for now. She had other designs, hoping she comes back again. It’s horrible how these fast fashion brands steal everything.
That’s awful!!! I haven’t seen those shirts, but I don’t shop at fast fashion places.
I’m so sorry about that. I hope everyone notices that and instead buys from her.
That is totally awful! I hope she starts selling again, I can only believe that her ideas and creativity will be amazing !!!
I feel so awful for Cassie. My sister and I have been following her for years and she's helped so many especially me, She doesn't deserve to be stolen from
5:09 That ain't no high heel, that's a pair of hooves!😂
Matpat, this is a VERY needed episode. We definitely need to spread this message!
I first noticed this when I still shopped at Shein and the strawberry dress was really popular because someone had made their own on tiktok. Suddenly it was all over Shein.
RUclipsr Iilluminaughtii did some amazing work in their episodes researching SHEIN and fast fashion. I'd love to see more content about their practices and maybe even a collab would be fantastic!
I was thinking about that video to super informative!
@@mother3434 what's the problematic stuff they've done
@@mother3434 what problematic stuff?
@@mother3434 the one with the rant avatar of purple sweater? What did they do?
Like MatPat Blair and her team go deep in the research for her episodes, and it shows. Plus she does more than just MLMs.
was waiting for this channel to do something about shein !!!
Absolutely keep on with the Shein roasting, I was unaware of this issue before, so it's definitely best to further spread word of the issue!
Here's my idea for a possible style theory:
Is it actually better to dye your hair when it's dirty versus when it's clean? Bonus, does someone's hair type affect the results (e.g. thickness, texture, natural color)? I've definitely heard it a lot over the years but I'm not sure if it's true...
THIS!!! I need to know this. And are we talking about dying your hair or bleaching it?
In my personal experience, my hair color grabs better when it's a day unwashed. Not too greasy, but it can't have a coating of conditioner on, either. It will depend on hair type for sure, though
If you are bleaching or using dyes that are permanent and have lifting agents like ammonia you should do it on oily hair. If you are dying with products that may or may not be permanent but do not have any harsh chemicals, like manic panic or directions, you need clean hair.
Thickness, texture, natural hair colour and whether your hair is dyed or not also play a significant role for how long and what products you need for bleaching.
^this
@@crystaliia your literally answering a video idea how little do you care about your life to do this
Also, I've seen a lot of allegations of their clothes containing high amounts of lead. Amounts that aren't safe to be near, much less wear. Another great reason to look elsewhere for clothes
As in chemicals you wash out or in the fabric itself and leaching
@@darladay4766 I believe that lead is used in the dye, so washing it out isn't possible. The articles I found say that about 1 out of 5 clothing items tested positive for lead and other chemicals that you probably shouldn't have a lot of exposure to.
@@renyanoel7413 that would be lots of leaching. I wasn't aware of how bad dyes were until after I leaned about things like bamboo being dumped in chemicals to make them soft enough for fabric, and that they don't all wash out. Can't even wear a natural cotton puff dress stapled on because they use chemicals on the cotton. Can't win
Especially with the child labor!
I never knew there’s a style theory channel, y’all have a theory channel for everything really wow 💀😭☠️
I personally would love to see a full video covering Shein. I also feel like a video covering the pink tax would belong on this channel as well.
MatPat PLEASE help shine a light on how abhorrent SHEIN is in every single way! And how about theories about how clothing was before fast fashion! Or about the historybounding and cottage core trends going mainstream :)

I don't like what Shein is doing but I don't want it to be cancelled cuz there is many other stylish clothes that are not stolen and shein is the only place I have fashionable clothes from.
Yes please do an episode on all Shein’s unethical practices😊
I LOVE episodes tearing down terrible companies. I'd love to see and share a video diving deeper into just how bad Shein is
Asking Mat to do a theory on pointe shoes and how we can improve them please😊
Would love another Shein episode!
YES PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON SHEIN, IT'LL SPREAD SO MUCH AWARENESS! WE NEED THIS!!!
A video all about how bad Shein is would be awesome!! I didn't even know this company existed until a week ago and forgot about it until this video was uploaded
I wrote an essay about them for school and let me tell you the stuff they're doing is absolutely horrific
I love how I just got my first shein ad on this very video 😂
I love food theorists, I'm so happy I found style theorists too. You're hilarious man
I'd love to also see style theory jump into the world of sweatshops to talk about how and why your favorite clothing brands probably still get at least half of their products from sweatshops using loopholes in contracts and agreements between company and clients.
I'm so happy you covered this issue, I follow her on RUclips and was sad to see her ideas get stolen.
Imagine if Shein just responded by making knockoff Game Theory merch 😂
Theory/Discussion Topics:
(1) Fashion has become more of a form of social control than merely a way to cover people's bodies. Been like that for centuries, but when did it start? Why is it so effective? And is there a way to combat it?
(2) Fashion's obsession with romanticizing crimes against women. Touch on the recurring themes of murder/assault shown at fashion shows (especially at older ones, persistent marketing of hypersexualized clothing towards younger audiences, and even collections that glorify sexual crimes against younger women.
I would love to see an episode of just roasting shein!
I have shopped from shein, mainly because this company makes clothes for big humans like me and ships almost everywhere. Please cover the shein battle, and if you can mention this topics. I would like to know more on this topic. Thank you!
You should watch iilumenaughtii’s video on them.
There do you need to be more options for plus sizes, but a company that exploits smaller artists and their workers is…. That’s just a tough pill to swallow, man.
Shein isn't the only one🤣🤣 companies have been doing this for years, Walmart is a big one with their clothes looking similar to more expensive clothing
Yup and in more industries than just fashion.
And not just them, even big one's like Nike have some Very common design "inspirations" and awful use of overseas cheap labor.

But odds are that she won’t be the last either.
That’s horrible what happened to everyone who’s ideas got stolen
I’m so glad you made this video-It’s so interesting and as someone who has friends wanting to enter the fashion world Im so glad this might help take down this horrible thing
I actually knew it from blogilates (thanks to her) and was trying to tell my mother who recently discover it
But she did not want to listen saying it's life (something like that)
Then (fortunately) we watch on the news a reportage of shein (with all the stealing and how it does it) and my mother was quite shock to heard it (they explained so much better than me and had multiple case and arguments than me)
Now my mother does not use as much shein as before (even if she loves it and use it sometimes)
I cant understand your English
I ordered clothes at shein once and I’m never doing that mistake again
Well, this was yet another interesting Video, i would honestly like to know more about Shein, i hope you do more Videos about them.
