Thank you for watching!
The state of the clothing industry can be such so discouraging, but the growth of interest in content like this keeps me hopeful that we're all on a good track to a more sustainable life.
I really love that there is a trend for capsule wardrobes, thrifting, sustainable materials and recycling. I just hope it catches on fast enough and that everyone drops their shopping addictions... I'm so tired of seeing nature being destroyed through consumerism.
I love these educational videos! I've never really thought about the environmental impact of my clothing, and this is definitely helping to open my eyes. Can't wait for the next installment!
This is great! I am glad you're learning new things. Thank you! New episode will be out next week.
samurai squash if you're interested in this, check out the documentary "The True Cost". It goes much more into detail on cotton production and processing. :)
Reformation, supposedly a more sustainable brand, uses mostly viscose up for all their clothes. Anyone that wouldn't know the process to get this fiber would or does praise this brand as sustainable, when in reality it really isn't.
I'm glad you showed this information! How do you shop for your clothes knowing all this?
+Cristal Hernandez yes, I've also noticed that lately most of Reformation clothes are made out of viscose. I thought that was strange. They also have Tencel, but not so much anymore. Oh well, first of all I try not to buy clothes that often. Maybe 2-3 items in half a year. Then I make sure that whatever I buy was made ethically and it's going to last. And here is where this knowledge becomes handy
Daria Andronescu woah 2-3 in 6 months?! I'd like to get to that stage, but for some strange reason I do not have a wardrobe with ample options. I bought my third jumper (sweater) yesterday, and one of the jumpers is on its way out because it was a terrible fast fashion piece.i think I may have gotten around 25 items this year, clothes to shoes, I record everything I buy so I can see how long they last. I've written down all the necessities, when I'm done I can slow down I think.
Like your other videos Daria this one was so informative, well organized and motivating. It was so GOOD I'll be sharing it on fb and my blog. You explain everything so well - and you've inspired me to search out Tencel and Lyocel for my fabric choices. Rayon has been around for years - I remember the first time coming across it in clothing and disliking it from the beginning. It never held up well through washes - one wash and it often turns into a rag and now that so much clothing is made with it what terrible environmental destruction this fabric is causing. Loosing our old rain forests is losing our global oxygen generators. Without them our oxygen levels drop (which it has already significantly leading to increased rates of cancer) I have been using bamboo/cotton in my sewing however thinking it was a more sustainable fabric (although it's a nightmare to work with!) but I'm going to stop that now having watched your video!
You have one of the most beautiful and informative channels I've come across. It's so cool how you've combined beauty and style with sustainability. Your videos are so helpful and your style is gorgeous. Love from Finland :)
Thank you for making this! People aren't educated in these things (neither was I), so videos like these will help change the future :D not to mention your fashion guides are bomb
Excellent video...the public is so ignorant on all of this info in Canada. I will help spread the word...Thank you!!
Please do 👏 thank you 🥰
Unfortunately eucalyptus does effect wildlife, especially in the areas where humans artificially plant it. This tree is very "monopolistic", local flora cannot compete with it and eventually disappears. That's quite a problem in the north of Spain.
Yes, i also thought that. And Eukaliptus also has the problem that it burns very easily being very dangerous in Countrys like ours. I am Portuguese 🙂 Anyway I really appreciate this Videos 👍
I didn't find any information about it, but I believe you. I also found one article saying that in some parts of Portugal and Spain the forests are being destroyed to plant Eucalyptus. The world is going mad.
Daria Andronescu This is so frustrating because it seems that there isn't a good way to solve the problem. I do want to try to change the system but is it really possible? I will start buying less things and more sustainable, but what is really sustainable? This situation discourages me.
I had no idea that these materials were wood based. This is really helping me to make informed choices, thank you 💕
Glad you found it useful!
Wow, I didn't know any of this, this is amazingly helpful and useful information. Thankyou, really eye opening!
so true, people need more education. thank you for spreading the word!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful!
It was very useful for me to repeat qualities of fabrics as to the consultant in clothing store. It's great that you talk about environmental friendliness on your channel. Thank u!❤️
+Nadezhda Magomedova thanks dear! I am glad you're learning new things on my channel.
Thanks Daria. This series is totally opening my eyes to what I'm wearing. Looking forward to more information.
+Kirstin Piche great! I am so glad you liked it! Next episode is coming this weekend! ❤️
This series are very informative and useful, thank you so much! As a fashion student this is KEY
+Kiki Contreras thanks! I am glad you found it useful!
Daria, it is a very good video! I think Lyocell/Tencel is also using toxic chemicals like NMMO (N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide) which is very aggressive chemical. Although Lyocell/Tencel uses close loop manufacturing process, no system is completely leak proof !
thanks for this video! i try to choose fabrics that are biodegradable and low impact, i haven't been able to find this information easily so this was super informative!
You're so informed. Love these vids!
+Kieu-Linh Caroline Valverde it's part of my job! I am glad to share everything I know ❤️
Thank you for this video 😊
My pleasure 😊
Great video! To the point and informative :)))
Love, Veronica
Thanks for your 2 last vidéos. They are really usefull. Very interesting !! Great content.
+Odile Sacoche thank you! I am glad you're enjoying this series.
Обожаю ваш канал!! Мне нравится именно атмосфера и качество. А также Ваш голос очень приятен))) Начала смотреть когда были русские субтитры, сейчас конечно сложнее стало воспринимать информацию, потому что с английским языком есть проблемы. Но с другой стороны очень полезно и общий контекст можно понять, тем более что наглядно все видно и есть пояснения на английском языке. Спасибо огромное за Ваш труд. Продолжайте в том же духе и, надеюсь, появится помощник с русскими субтитрами и будет всем хорошо)))
Евгения, спасибо огромное за добрые слова! Субтитры будут, помощник нашелся! Нам, конечно, потребуется какое-то время, чтобы перевести все предыдущие видео, но мы уже начали!
Daria, thank you for sharing this information, as I have wondered at both the process and content of these fabrics. Perhaps you could also address the issue of breathability a little bit more. Modal seems to have good breathability for individuals who suffer night sweats. It seems lighter, more moisture wicking and quick drying than cotton, linen, or viscose/ rayon. In fact, viscose comes in at a close 2nd. Based on this, modal seems to have an important function presently lacked by the other fabrics. If you know of other fabrics which provide the same benefit, please let us know. Thanks, Maria
thanks for a very informative video! 👍 I have been using a capsule wardrobe for several years now, and it is very gratifying to know that it also helps the environment as well as keep my home clutter free. I am definitely going to look further into tech to sing more sustainable clothing.
Hi,
Your videos so nice.
I like your videos
Wow Daria! Thank you! You will get tired of reading this but thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to research and make these informative videos. I had heard of viscose only but had no idea there were wood-based fabrics. Also, thank you for all the links and resources you provide on your website for alternative eco-friendly brands.
+moussabby you're very welcome! I am glad you learnt new and interesting things about different types of fabrics from these videos. Thank you for all your kind words, it means the world to me! 💛
Very useful! Will you make a clip about innovative fabrics like pinatex- fabric made from pineapple fibres?
Yes I will make the video about new types of fabrics that were created recently. It's fascinating what can be used to create those fabrics.
I love your channel, you provide very informative pieces. Thank you!
Terrific video. Eileen Fisher seems to have transparent sourcing for lyocell and other fabrics. I dare department stores to have mandatory education on fabrication!
I buy only second hand, besides from my underwear, do you think i still have to pay much attention to the fabrics? Or is it okay for me to be less strict about it since it is all recycled items? :-)
Love from Denmark ;-*
Cæcilie Holm hi! i think it's okay to buy these second hand. the money doesn't go to the original brand and reusing what already exists is always a good idea, since it still saves more resources than buying new organic fabrics. however, you should still pay attention to the fabrics. synthetics like polyester affect the water when you wash it (worth researching that), PLUS natural or seminatural fabrics are a lot healthier and more comfortable to wear (more breathable, you sweat less etc). hope i could help ya
Thank you, i will defiantly remember that :)
I was thinking to do the same...buy only second hand... Good idea! Does it really work? Are You still fashion updated and well dressed? Love from Greece!
@@magdakar4252 It is possible to be fashionable while buying only second hand clothes! It does take some patience since you never know what hidden gems you will find at your local thrift store or consignment shop, but with a little spot cleaning, tailoring and ingenuity, you can create a fabulous wardrobe of unique pieces! Hope this helps! ❤
These are my favourite videos! I find it hard to find reliable sources of i formation in fashion in terms of the prodution line and materials. Can you recommend any sites that are based on research and not just "I've heard"?
So helpful and informative, as always!! xx
Thank you Amanda! Glad you liked it!
Very informative!
just found you. subbed. thank you so much for making such informative videos!
What a great video. Informative and interesting!
+Bec Lane thank you! ❤️
Очень познавательно,благодарю за труд！ Не знала,что смешанные ткани не разлагаются...Удивительно,но в Ветхом Завете были такие заповеди:не делать материю из разных нитей и не создавать гибридов фруктов-овощей,раньше не понимала смысл.Мы сами губим планету и себя（
Great video!
+Marilyn Mansilla thank you! 😊❤️
Very nice video. Can you give sources about the facts in your video?
Daria, what about Lenzing or Ecovero Viscose? Is it as bad as the regular viscose? Is it greenwashing trick?
I also learned, from your other video, that viscose is not breathable. What about modal and tencel?
I was meant to avoid cotton these days since I learn it's not entirely sustainable :( it's sad cuz it's very accessible for us. lyocell is quite hard to find in the market
Thanks! :)
+Aleksandra Velickov you're very welcome 😊
Благодарю за интересные и ёмкие видео, смотрю ваш канал постоянно, просто вдохновляет ваша жизнерадостность! Такой вопрос: я смотрела раньше ваши видео с русскими субтитрами, что помогало мне быстрее воспринять информацию, с недавних пор русские субтитры перестали появляться и я смотрю видео с автопереводчиком и когда это простые темы, то все в принципе понятно, а когда возникают названия тканей, химические составляющие, научные данные, приходится часто останавливаться и переводить каждое слово. Будут ли ещё появляться русские субтитры или может нужна помощь или время для их редактирования?
Аня Алонова Дарья писала, не помню здесь или в инстаграм, субтитров больше не будет
+Аня Алонова спасибо большое за добрые слова! Да, действительно, мне пришлось отказаться от русских субтитров, из-за элементарной нехватки времени. Я буду рада и бесконечно благодарна, если кто-то согласится мне помочь и загружать субтитры для моих видео.
Аня Алонова напишите один раз субтитры к одному видео Дарьи, раз уж все перевели и станет понятнее насколько трудоёмко. Но на самом деле язык очень простой, стимул подучить если есть время смотреть ютуб.
Wonderful video as always. :) Which brands use Lyocell Fabrics?
+Cheska Sarausad thank you! Many ethical brands are working with Tencel actually. For instance, I saw some beautiful pieces in Reformation and People Tree. You can check other brands here: wonder-wardrobe.com/blog/affordable-ethical-fashion
does that make modal toxic to wear?
If I had my way most of my clothes would made from eucalyptus. I had a set of eucalyptus bedsheets for six years that never faded or stretched. I lost one of them when it got tangled in the washer and ripped. I'm thinking of making a dress from the other one, lol.
Won't chemical pollute water and soil????
hi daria
Very helpful and so informative! Thank you for sharing! Have researched what companies is best to buy from please? :)
+Abilene Sandoval great! I am glad you liked it! Here is the list of ethical brands that use better materials: wonder-wardrobe.com/blog/affordable-ethical-fashion
I like this one so much, but Eucalyptus, its leaves has toxic itself and deteriorate the soil.
I am interested in manufacturing clothing. Do you know where I can source Lyocell?
Дарья, а как же субтитры?
Юлия Шагина да! Отписка ? Будут ли субтитры ?
Добавлены субтитры! Спасибо за терпение!
How does one iron tencel fabrics? I've tried using a pressing cloth over it but wrinkles are still present. When I do direct ironing, I find that I get shiny patches on it despite using low heat, and I once read that shiny patches (mostly noticed in pants) occurs due to the scorching of polyester from high heat. So I'm a little confused here!
Leelee x try ironing it inside out. Then you will not get the shiny spots.
+Kiko Hiko that's what I wanted to suggest
+Leelee x I also often leave the item in the bathroom, while I shower the steam will also iron the piece.
The chemicals using to extract cellulose can be reused.
Yes, they can be reused but it’s not a common practice
Очень хотелось бы чтобы информация была на русском языке, подписана на Ваш канал давно и очень жаль что перестали работать на русскоязычную аудиторию
К этому видео были добавлены русские субтитры! Приятного просмотра и спасибо за терпение.
So its good to use chemicals 😒
