'Dear Fashion Influencers... Please Stop'

19:36 Dec 30, 2022
'We need to talk about influencers. Fashion influencers on YouTube and on Instagram are promoting the harmful industry of fast fashion, overconsumption and consumerism in general. They are reinforcing throwaway culture, buying clothes just to make fun of them and donating wayyy too much to charity. I don’t want to be an influencer if that means adding to the world’s problems. Dear fashion influencers... please stop.  Topics covered: youtubers we need to talk about, why you should stop buying fast fashion, youtuber merch, how the fast fashion industry works and what we can do about it  Timestamps: 00:00 - 02:12 Intro 02:12 - 03:33  Stop promoting fast fashion 03:34 - 04:05 Take responsibility  04:05 - 07:22 Stop making merch 07:23 - 10:48 Stop excusing overconsumption 10:49 - 12:44 On wardrobe clearouts 12:45 - 14:05 Stop buying so much stuff and the problems with donating clothes 14:06 - 18:33 Stop making false promises 18:34 - 19:35 Outro  SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this!
