i think the assumption is that people working for fast fashion brands don’t ever care about sustainability or that they switch off that part of themselves when they go to work - but I just don't think that's the case (and I have the receipts from you guys to prove it...)i wanna talk about what you can do if you’re in this position - maybe you currently have a job within a fashion brand, or you’re picking your course of study and contemplating if fashion is worth it - let's talk about actions you can take to help create change & not burn out from stress🫶 thanks sm for watching - pls like, comment and subscribe xx🤍 follow me on tiktok / insta / threads: katieerobinson_🎧 podcast: refashioned (Spotify & Apple)💌 substack: katierobinson.substack.com🖇 or go to my linktree: linktr.ee/Katieerobinson_📮 business email only - katie.susfashion [@] gmail [dot com](pls note i only work with sustainability-focused brands!!)⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 INTRO02:34 disassociation or no?

tiktok trends don't tend to last, but underconsumptioncore seems to have transcended the algorithm into a macrotrend that's influencing our behaviour well after its initial popularity - let's break down the rebranding of underconsumption into new trends like project pan, no buy 2025 etc and why it suggests a deeper cultural movement!!
