So I signed up for “Fashion Fast Pledge” thinking it would be very easy for me to go a month without buying any new apparel, after all I am a 63year old, very unfashionable, man. Well it turns out, 4 days in, its not as pain Free as I thought it would be. The first challenge I ran into was the realisation that January is always the time I buy a new dressing gown, old guys do that. I have always bought them in the January sales, but honestly never given time to think about why. The one I bought last year is still perfectly wearable and doesn’t seem to be unfashionable. What I realise is that it wasn’t “Need” that drove my purchase it was the little endorphin Kick I needed after the Holiday period looking into 3 more months of winter. My Second Challange, and least expected, was that one of my favourite Brands Filson , were running a big Sale, not something they do too often. I am sitting on my Couch staring at products I Love with $100’s Off wanting to hit Buy but holding to my “Fashion Fast” commitment, until my wife reminded me that I had 3 Filson Tin Cloth Jackets in my Cupboard that I hadn’t yet Worn. (I will) Signing up to the Fast Fashion Pledge has made me look at my own, almost subconscious, behaviour as I can often be critical of the Industries. This for me isn’t about NOT buying apparel or Fashion, its learning how to be more thoughtful of what I buy and why. Trying to push back on the Endorphins when they take control of the Buy Button. BTW don’t worry Filson I will be back to buy, but maybe a little more thoughtfully than before, and your products do last a long long time.

Fashion changes periodically for several reasons: 1) Cultural Evolution: Fashion reflects the cultural values, attitudes, and societal changes of a particular time. As cultures evolve, so do the styles and trends that people adopt. 2) Self-Expression: Fashion allows individuals to express their identity, creativity, and personality. New trends and styles provide people with fresh ways to communicate who they are. 3) Economic Factors: The fashion industry thrives on consumption and innovation. Regularly introducing new styles and trends encourages people to buy new clothing, driving economic growth. 4) Innovation and Creativity: Change in fashion pushes designers to continually innovate, experiment, and create new designs, fabrics, and techniques. This cycle of innovation keeps the industry vibrant and exciting. 5) The cycle of Nostalgia: Trends often come back in cycles. What was once popular can be reinterpreted with a modern twist, appealing to both nostalgia and the desire for something new. 6) Social Media and Influencers: The rise of social media and influencer culture has accelerated the pace of fashion change. What's seen on influencers today can become a trend tomorrow, creating a constant cycle of change. 7) Seasonal Variations: Different seasons require different types of clothing for practical reasons. This leads to the rotation of styles to suit the weather. 8) Individuality and Uniqueness: Fashion's changing nature allows individuals to stand out from the crowd. People value unique pieces that reflect their personal style. 9) Entertainment and Escapism: Fashion provides an element of entertainment and escapism. It offers an opportunity for people to step into different styles and eras, adding excitement to their lives. #fashionindustry #fashion #apparel #clothing #clothingline #garments #clothes #streetwear #gripwear

The second-hand clothing market is on the rise, but most companies are still struggling to turn a profit. While pre-owned clothes have a cool reputation, the economics just don't add up. Did you know that 67% of UK millennials shop second-hand? And according to ThredUp's latest report, two in five items in Gen Z's closet are pre-owned. It's no wonder that the fashion resale market is set to double in value to $3.5bn (£2.76bn) by 2027. Check out this article from BBC Worklife to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in this booming market. Have you ever bought second hand clothes before? #SecondHandClothing #FashionResale #Sustainability #johnleungmcr #lbfalumni #skyhightower

Mass fashion is dead, but not because people don’t want similar things…. It’s because you’re selling them the wrong things through the wrong people and the wrong content at exactly the wrong time Look no further than the super hot Hoco dress – a dress that was traditionally for homecoming but now just goes by #bodycon #iykyk - my 12 year old daughter did and now Debra Langley and I do too hahaha it shot up in search out of nowhere on the 18th of March – it’s massively popular, the #1 fashion item Gen Z wants on TikTok And oh hey look at that it corresponds directly to real time sales tooooo Sales shot up at EXACTLY the same moment So mass products alive and well, mass business model dead... Imagine if there were better Hoco dress options available Imagine if those dress were personalized by print, pattern, color? Like the viral house of CB ditsy floral (again iykyk...) Where there was negligible market supply until SHEIN and Temu jumped on it over the weekend w/out changing anything lol.... Where true value, durability, and quality was given to the consumer and not plastic This is the gap in the market that would transform the industry Remind me why we're paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to “expert” trend forecasting agencies Their prediction today (I kid you not) that linen skirts are up 445% compared to LY is meaningless and deeply problematic Relying on such laughably broad year-over-year projections in the era of personalized, real-time commerce must stop Because it's contributing to our historic glut of inventory and stock outs Millions in funding going to solutions that manage inventory for products no Gen Z girl wants When funding should go to solutions who understand how culture and commerce work and can execute it in real time Now let’s look at the TikTok Shop: Hawthaw Women Apparel 100% of their sales are from their own account or from the mall or shop tab – they have generated $1.3M GMV and they keep all of the profit The days of brand gatekeeping and taste-making in the middle is over Clinging to the past has accelerated mass fashion's demise and now it's a problem for our economy - not a single American shopping app made it into the global top 10 last year and only one American ecommerce site did The future belongs to those willing to reimagine their entire operating model for the era of real-time, hyper-localized trends spontaneous demand spikes, driven by real-time trends and conversations, represents THE golden opportunity to capture a highly engaged audience But our jurassic leaders can’t or won't and that’s why it’s a dead model And why in 5 years C2M will be the norm - don't say I didn't warn you #thegreatfashionreset #creatoreconomy #C2M #communitycommerce #contentistheproduct #tiktokisthestore

Why do people still buy from fast fashion giants like Shein and Forever 21, even though they know the terrible environmental and social impact these brands have? Because they're hard to resist. They appeal to consumers, especially younger ones, who want to be on top of trends and have as many clothes as possible for as cheap as possible. They know how to speak to consumers and offer them style, convenience, and affordability. They offer irresistible discounts and deals, fast + free shipping, in addition to an endless variety of clothes of all colors and designs in the latest trends. Who wouldn’t want their favorite shirt in 5 different colors for 20 dollars and free shipping? Through aggressive marketing, fast fashion brands offer consumers what they want and make them believe they need more of it. Fast fashion also triggers psychological factors in consumers like instant gratification and mood boosts, as well as a sense of belonging and social acceptance due to trends. Social media influencers and celebrities also play a huge role in consumer behavior, serving as role models and guiding purchasing decisions. The best way to end fast fashion culture, or at least reduce its popularity, is by offering consumers alternatives that have similar benefits while focusing on solutions, not problems. Fast fashion companies are good at marketing, not making clothes. 🤷 ------- We're on a mission to make sustainable fashion the new norm through digital marketing.
