This video really helped open my eyes to everything happening around the world. This was very educational, especially for someone like me majoring in fashion!
Excellent video. The only thing I'd bring up is the increased cost involved in doing the right thing. Then again I suppose thats all about your priorities.
There are operations in the UK and the Continent dispatching quality 2nd hand clothing to the Third World. It is hands-on coordinated to go to distributors and retailers and merchants in Asia and Africa. So that those apparel reprocessing operations to which he refers, and which are European-based, may need to be actually also established in Asia and Africa. But in the meantime it is still useful to at least attempt to wean those Western fools off the process of gladly ripping themselves off in shopaholic frenzies for gear which they'll primarily hoard and never wear, or impart as gifts which the recipient never wanted or shall ever wear. Because what happens is that Third Worlders tend to imitate what the West does.
if you want to talk about changing fashion behaviour, you need to address the financial aspect. Fast fashion exists to give the illusion of financial clout to those who do not have it. Making clothing worth what it should be worth makes it unattainable to many, therefore highlighting the financial disparity of our society. No one wants to have THAT conversation.
