11: 3 steps to get out of fast fashion

Sustainable Fashion by Gaia & Dubos

11/25/20 • 11 min

In this episode, I am giving you a three-step process to quit buying cheap, trendy fashion. You’ll discover my own personal process that I used to get of fast fashion (and I truly considered I was a fast fashion addict at the time).

My secret 3-step process:

Take a hard look at past mistakes by assessing your wardrobe
When about to make a purchase, connect emotionally to the people who made your clothes, to the environmental impact, or simply to whether it’s a good purchase for you.
This last step is so freaking easy you won’t believe I even mention it. But it is BEYOND powerful!

We see a lot of green initiatives among fast fashion brands. And sure it’s cute and all, but these types of actions are NOT going to make a real difference. Like ever.

The very business model of fast fashion is a broken strategy. And you’ll find out why in this episode.

5 : Why we can't rely on the second hand industry forever

Sustainable Fashion by Gaia & Dubos

03/25/20 • 12 min

Second hand clothes may be a great alternative to fix all the issues related to the fashion industry, but in this episode, I explain to you why we can't rely on it forever.
So here are the major downsides of the second hand industry:
1. Fast fashion is overly produced, consumed and given away, so that's what we find in thrift stores
2. Clothes can't last forever : We will always need to produce new ones (but ideally in a slow fashion approach)
I really hope it will help you create your own opinion about the second hand industry !

Sustainable Fashion by Gaia & Dubos

02/27/20 • 9 min

⁣⁣In this episode, I unpick the top three ⁣⁣reasons why our industry is such a heavy polluter. You'll discover why it's so impactful, and hopefully it will inspire you to make some changes in your own behaviours.
I'm revealing these three truths about the fashion industry:

It's an industry that is comprised of many other highly-polluting industries, such as the agriculture, transportation, livestock farming and petroleum industries.
Brands over produce cheap, low-quality clothing.
Us consumers buy too much of this crap !

I hope it serves you my loves.
