It’s crazy how I just realize now that I’m older, how fucked up and weird these brands were and how I (15y old tumblr sad girl) was kind of obsessed with brandy Melville. I remember my skinny friend not fitting into a dress and my mom being a little mad about the fact that they carried only one super small size. I knew something wasn’t right about that but at the same time I thought, I should become skinnier to fit in these clothes. But now with all these incredibly racist connotations on top of that… I just can’t believe how they got through with that over so many years, it’s just awful 😰
Anyway, your video was great, as always and you’re giving great advice about alternatives to fast fashion 💕
i was a total tumblr sad girl and looking back it’s crazy toxic!! thanks for the sweet comment
As a teenager (13-15) I remember regularly shopping in fast fashion stores (not Brandy or anything of the sort bc that wasn't available in my small german town) amd I remember my mum telling me she wouldn't buy me certain pieces because they were 100% polyester. As a rebellious teen I obviously didn't give a shit and bought them anyways, but now at 23 I'm so much more concious of how much I buy and what materials the clothes are. And the more I learn about the fast fashion industry the more I hate it.
everyone talks about brandy melville but not subdued! its basically the exact same store! i want to know more about it!
never heard of it! but this entire theme is so persistent in fashion
Really great video! I love the way you break down things so its more digestable
Other that the ones you mentioned someone else who is in the sustainable fashion space that I appreciate is Alyssa Beltempo. Her focus is on breaking down outfits into elements of style and teaching people to recreate outfits they see online with what they have in their own closet.
ooooh yes i’ll check her out!
Vintage & Preloved reseller & sourcer here!!!! Vintage last longer, made well and less expensive and not being wasted in landfill or burned. or turned into rags.
I love to thrift my own clothes as well as sew my own if I have the supplies and materials to do so.
This video needs to go viral!! From a fashion professional, this was very well said!! Bravo!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
thank you so much i’m honored
Ah Blandy Melville, my most hated brand. It’s so toxic to have one size for girls who are growing, as someone who’s had body image issues it’s disgusting yet people still buy there. It literally won’t let me shop there because I have boobs, yet I’d be their target audience 🤢. I don’t agree w Dion on there being enough resources for everyone to be comfortable, but on blandy completely agree it gives hollister Abercrombie creep vibes but encourages eating disorders at the same time
thanks for the comment !!!
Doug Tallamy is a wonderful author! It’s not fashion oriented but he will definitely make you believe that you can make a difference with little things!
oooh thank you for the recommendation!
He's great
i applied to work at brandy melville when i was a kid (dont come at me it was trendy) and they barely looked at my resume but took a bunch of photos of me and i wasnt prepared to be photographed and honestly thats why i didnt get the job and now i am thinking the owner creep got those photos...
no judgement! my dream was to work at hollister or american apperal which were both trendy and awful🤣 it’s insane how dangerous things were and we never realized because we were teens!
The resources 💖💖💖💖
Bro those pics look like me when I lost too much weight last year intentionally! I bet so many employees had eating disorders or similar. Very sad.
13:20 there isn’t enough housing. There are enough resources for everyone to have housing though. The idea that we don’t need any new housing ignores that some of the housing stock is outside of the areas it’s most needed or is unsuitable for use. I get that you probably mean that the idea that we can’t have housing for everyone is a lie, but how you said it comes of as kinda Nimbiest
I know brandy is still one of the most search brands on depop it’s insane
there’s so much of it on ThredUp! even if you want to still get the brand it’s easy secondhand
wearing brandy clothes is desirable because it sells you a feeling
Thrifting is great if you're a standard size. Size inclusivity is not something that's easy to find in vintage brands. Thrifting is great fun, but it can't be our only answer
Totally agree with the requirement of proper standards and legislation
@@Screamsinlowpoly yeah thrifting is a drop in the bucket compared to what needs to happen!
We're all coming from different circumstances and have differing abilities to contribute to the cause. I don't have a lot of money to spend on high-quality sustainable pieces, but I am fortunate enough to be able to easily find clothes at thrift stores because I'm straight sized. For a person who is both poor and plus-sized, I suppose the answer is to choose clothes mindfully and do your best to make them last. There's always an area where effort can be made, I think.
There is a plethora of brand people can buy bigger size outfits from. I dont know why this single brand marketing to skinny girls has them this butthurt. Is it that they are pressed about not being able to fit in? Probably. Im currently in Italy and I wont ever stop purchasing from them.
Congratulations on purposely ignoring the predatory acts and racism is this company. You sound like a great person.
