Omg great video! I love the knowledge I knew most of it because I went down a rabbit hole in 2020 and learned all this stuff but thank you for sharing I think everyone needs to know this! I haven’t shopped since November!
unrelated but I love your style of presentation. the metaphor at 6:43 was powerful! and a great way of breaking down how these conglomerates control our lives from the shadows; quite scary to think about 😭 keep doing what you’re doing; I can’t wait to see what you talk about next.
This is a topic I'm so passionate about! Thank you for speaking about it! When i was younger, I had access to luxury clothes and accessories, the quality was there, and you could "justify" the priece, my parents told of the times certain "luxury" brands were cheap (I'm talking way back...), and I have a good eye for "quality." In recent years, I've been appalled by the decline of these brands, most importantly in craftsmanship and quality. They have become totally greedy and exploitative! The spirit of this young designers who wanted to break away from "exclusivity" and give access to everyone its long, death! The reality is that the same 5 people own all the brands. What I'm more interested in now is preserving the knowledge of fashion, how to create a good garment, the manual techniques, and the beautiful craftsmanship that whole generations of families preserved! It's an Art, this people are just untalented predatory people trying to dry every drop of talent and art of the back of the true craft masters!
So true! They have turned what was once an art & a form of expression into a commodity to fuel their own greed. Finding small independent designers (ethical ones of course) is a great way to keep the art of fashion alive
Thank you so much for talking about these issues….They simply cannot be ignored. People need to open their eyes to what is happening and understand the atrocities they are supporting every time they hand over their hard-earned money to these corrupt, greedy companies. You are a great teacher- you are empathetic and inclusive, and you paint a complete picture without overcomplicating things or getting lost in translation; you use credible sources and explain things in very straightforward, comprehensible ways that are also creative and engaging. Very happy to have found your channel and have gladly subscribed!✌️Excited to check out your past videos, and will definitely look forward to future ones.💯 P.S. You are super gorgeous and give off great energy❤
Thank you for watching & thank you for your kind words!! I really appreciate it, I hope I can keep bringing light to the intersection of all these oppressive systems 🫶🏼
This was very wild to watch; homeworkers were very, very common before the industrial revolution (sweat shop factories) and activists of the 1830s and 1840s were often very, very upset at the pay woman were receiving for their work. Without a sewing machine, a homeworker was expected to turn out between two or three complete shirts a day (buttons, button holes, cuffs, collars, pin tucks and gathers included), with four being an "ideal" output, but not common. Eventually the practice slowed to a near-stop through a combination of two things; labor laws and factories opening to manufacture those same products on mass. The one benefit to a factory was it got workers out of their homes in a more "public" setting were infractions could more easily be spotted and worker's rights could be more easily protected. As homeworkers, woman were making personal/private agreements where in their labor could be exploited with no opportunity for a third party to step in. By at least requiring that people arrived everyday at a building, it created a "framework" for law enforcement to then actually monitor the treatment of employees. Hearing from you that MaxMara has RETURNED to the practice of homework (after what, a 200 year "break"?) is shocking; famous people like Charles Dickens literally wrote stories like Oliver Twist as warnings of how poorly-monitored work environments could to abuse of their employees.
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing, it’s crazy to think about how many oppressive systems remain in existence but largely hidden from the public eye. We start to believe we’re progressing but then you realize oppression has just taken on new forms or in some cases it’s the same form being masked
This vid is so informative and education also thank you for bringing us. Cause i truly think these topics is very much important❤🫶. Plus i dont see youtubers talking about these type of issue so its so resfreshing honestly.
Thank you for mentioning the Uyghurs in (concentration-) re-education camps in China. The CCP tries to deny this is true, but it has been proven with sattelite imaging and stories of families that have come out. Families have been torn apart. The Uyghurs are not allowed to practise their own faith or speak their own language. They have to learn to become like a Han-Chinese. It's so incredibly sad, people just disappear and those camps are basically based on slave labor for those able to work. The rest of the family is hold under strong supervision from 'minders' who make sure they don't do something funny. So they can be kept as leverage for those slave laborers to also.. not try something funny. In a few decades there might not be any Uyghurs left.
It is so unimaginable and heartbreaking. I hope to bring a lot more awareness to the situation, especially with regards to the harvesting of cotton by Uyghurs in these camps which is then used in many supply chains of global brands. There is so much to be done in the fight for collective liberation
My heart breaks seeing how they treat foreign workers in Italy. And it's like this everywhere
Me too. It’s so upsetting I really think there should be more public outrage

Art always gets commodified
sad but true 😪

Brilliant video, thank you
Thank you for watching!
Luxury brands should be so ashamed. With the greedy price hike and then scamming their customers.
Exactly 🎯🎯🎯
