what do Kylie Jenner's boob job and Steve Madden's design duping have in common? Both were moments of rare honesty from a celebrity or fashion industry, both caused an increase in loyalty & clout on the internet, and both creators have now been labelled as "for the girls". Radical honesty is the new fashion trend, but before we start celebrating let's talk about the motives & failings of brands jumping on the honesty express 🤨🫶 thanks sm for watching xx

community is the most overused word of 2025. fashion has decided instead of bringing down their prices or increasing the quality of their products, they're instead gonna focus on more events and pop-ups designed to create the illusion of a strong 'community' focus. let's talk about how community trips, coffee cart popups and sports collabs are increasingly featuring in fashion's marketing strategies, and what this means for us as consumers...🫶 thanks sm for watching xx♡ insta: https://www.instagram.com/katieerobinson_/♡ tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katieerobinson_♡ threads: https://www.threads.net/@katieerobinson_💌 substack: https://katierobinson.substack.com🎧 podcast: refashioned (all major platforms) https://open.spotify.com/show/04EWQpOzuf200iOzdZoiyq?si=130c940dae464960📮 business email only - katie.susfashion [@] gmail [dot com](pls note i only work with sustainability-focused brands!!)⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 hiii01:09 PT1: fashion has a BIG problem rn

so many of us want to shop secondhand, but bagging a quality thrift find is getting harder and harder as fast fashion takes over the rails. is this stopping more people from shopping preloved? and is there a way we can fix the lack of quality donations at the thrift - and provide a cheaper option to thrifting at the same time? let's dive into it, and talk to the company who thinks the solution lies in an alternative thrifting model!!thanks so much to Jess and the team at Verte!!!! you can follow them on insta or check out their website below:https://www.instagram.com/verte.london/https://verte.londonlisten to the full podcast interview with Jess here::: 🫶 thanks sm for watching xx♡ insta: https://www.instagram.com/katieerobinson_/♡ tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katieerobinson_♡ threads: https://www.threads.net/@katieerobinson_💌 substack: https://katierobinson.substack.com🎧 podcast: refashioned (all major platforms) https://open.spotify.com/show/04EWQpOzuf200iOzdZoiyq?si=130c940dae464960📮 business email only - katie.susfashion [@] gmail [dot com](pls note i only work with sustainability-focused brands!!)⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 hiii02:06 the problem with thrifting03:17 why is secondhand quality declining?04:22 why is thrifting getting more expensive??04:54 the potential solution06:00 introducing: a swap shop08:17 are swap shops better than thrifting?11:14 a flawed solution?14:36 is this an industry fix?15:36 swapping vs thrifting17:08 channel news & byeee

Full chat with the wonderful Jess Brunt from Verte, a UK business aiming to make swap shops more accessible to everyone! We dive into topics like the work that goes into running a swap shop, how the declining quality of fashion in the UK is impacting the business and where Jess sees swapping fitting into the future of sustainable fashion.

also just a note to say sorry for the audio, we had to film this episode outside so there's a couple of interruptions 😅
