December 29, 2024 the worst fashion greenwashing of 2024: from fast fashion to luxury
and the award for worst greenwashing this year goes to....🤪
let's take a look back at some of the biggest news stories from 2024, from Shein's pr blunders to Nike's "sustainability bloodbath"
throughout the year i released somewhat-monthly news headline videos diving into so many topics, and i thought it could be fun to go back and pick out the best stories that felt meaningful to me in either because the drama and lies they exposed were insane or the impact they had feels important, and share them with you guys 🫶
would love to hear what stories u guys think were the most important this year and your thoughts for 2025!!!!

December 22, 2024 the death of luxury & the fast fashion-ication of clothing
today we're asking one simple* question: what does fast fashion mean in 2025?
* turns out, not actually that simple...
let's talk about how the principles that first defined fast fashion have now been so widely adopted by the larger fashion industry that it actually may be fairer to say that everything is fast fashion than not - and why I no longer think labelling brands as fast fashion is the right thing to do 🥴 would love to hear your thoughts on this and how we define luxury in 2025 too!!!
ty to everyone who joined in on the poll on my community page and shared their thoughts, was v helpful 🫶

December 11, 2024 "clean beauty" VS greenwashing: the lies behind tiktok's fave beauty trends
"clean", "non-toxic", "natural", "refill" and "cruelty free" - is there actually any truth behind tiktok's favourite buzzwords???
Unlike fashion, where conversations around ethical production and environmental impact have been heating up for a decade, beauty brands have stayed largely out of the spotlight - we’ve become obsessed with ‘stripping back’ on our ingredients, mixing wellness and health with our makeup and skincare, but we're still not questioning what the brands behind these products are doing or where they’re getting these ingredients from or whether they actually stand by the image that “clean” conjures to consumers 🥴
