Thank you for watching! - Навчання та стиль
Just watched Stacey Dooley investigates and really proud of what you are doing to change the way we see clothes 🙌🏻 Changing the way we consumers buy and use clothes can really make a difference 💞💞
Immy Eve I’ve just watched this myself. I’m guessing not only is the clothes industry affected, but also the material/fabric world for hand crafting. VERY eye opening.
Just watched Stacey Dooley too, this is an amazing video!!! 🙌
Finally a big youtuber who promotes sustainable fashion hope you continue that rather than doing primark hauls and whatnot. Fast fashion is so overrrrr. Watch Kristen Leo for more advice she has great videos also about H&M's so called "conscious" line 🙏🏻
Ronja Svensson I love Kristen Leo!! She has so many informative videos on the topic❤️
Kristen is amazing!! I basically quit fast fashion because of her
Bota Koilybayeva me too! Her and Eco Boost were the reason ☺️
Ronja Svensson yes agree! I almost feel physically sick when I see a UA-camr upload Haul after Haul after Haul and them kinda trying to justify it as well (as in "it's a staple", "I need sth for my next holiday" etc etc) I wish more would be reflective and forward thinking...
W A I'm glad to see a lot of people agree with me that means something is moving in the right direction 🙏🏻 all this consumerism is sad
You are one of the only people I have stuck by all these years, you make me feel like a better person no matter what you post, thank you for being so inspirational to me. You're pretty damn awesome!
wow thanks so much, so lovely to hear! Thanks for sticking around x
Bethan Addison 👍she is so genuinely down to earth. So much love this real human. @ noimi
I completely agree!
I'm so happy to finally hear a UA-camr questioning the fashion’s industry and our consumer behavior in such a brilliant and subtle way! You did not focus on accusations or reproaches.
Thank you for doing this!
nothing like a good decluttering video to kick a productive Sunday into gear! 😊❤️ anyone else feel inspired to organize their closet after this?!
Yea I really want to declutter after watching this!
Oh yeah! 😊
Hello Niomi! Do you think next time you can put some clothes on Depop? You have a great style, and I’m sure a lot of people (including me) would love to get hold of some items. I’m happy to hear that you’re interested in sustainable fashion. Buying second hand clothes is also considered sustainable. I often fall in love with clothes you wear but cannot afford them most of the time. Lots of love ❤️
I would love for her to do that. I bet her clothes would sell out so fast
Me too that is such a great idea 💖
That is actually a great idea! 😍
That would be so cool!
What a great idea !
Consignment stores or buying vintage is such a great way to help with this. I rarely buy anything new anymore and like the idea of each item I buy having a story & a history.
Naomi thank you SO much for bringing the importance of sustainability, and mindful consumption, to your viewers and having the courage to do so! Love your videos!
It’s great to see a big youtuber involved with fashion sustainability. I’ll be honest, I’ve not even looked at your videos previously as I understood you to be part of the hauls community. I’m interested to see you keep this up and if you stay true to this movement without going back on your word.
shills same for me...always avoided this channel as I thought it was part of the “haul community”. Glad she decided to address this issue and hope will continue to do so
I miss your simple day in a life, in London, so much. There were so relaxing to watch. Would love to see a weekly vlog from you (if you ever felt like it). No need to do anything crazy. Just a week in Niomi's life (that sound weirder than I thought it would)
You don't have to stop buying things. Just buy vintage clothes or clothes on sites like depop where people sell their clothes that they no longer want. There are some amazing finds! It's what helped me so so much in the journey of producing less waste because the items have already been created and you recycle them rather then putting more clothes in the cycle. Hope that helped xxx
not everyone likes used clothes.I personally would never wear clothes that I don't know where they came from. Just the idea is grossing me out. So this advise is not for everyone of course
Why not? It's called a washing machine.
@@ThePrivet18 well, the clothes that you buy in fast fashion, you do not know where they came from!!!!
Plus buying from ethical fashion brands is also a great option! They are more expensive, but will last you a much longer amount of time.
Yes you can find some amazing I have bought new clothes with the tags still on for more than half the price
Such a great video and so happy that you're going in this direction now! :) I guess, the amount of clotes and stuff you have is because you work in fasion and fashion has its own rules, always had and those aren't necessarily good rules. Like having a new item for each show, occasion and event for example. It's always been like this, showing up in the same item is considered "faux pas". I'd love to see it change some day, when celebrities and other public figures would celebrate their favoruite clothing, adapting it to the occasion and styling their staple pieces with something new :)
often when celebrities attend events with a certain brand, the dress or outfit is only borrowed for the event, and they will return it afterwards. not sure what the brand does to the dress afterwards but its not the worst thing when they are only borrowing the item and not taking it to their own wardrobe to never use it again :)
Yeah a lot of celebrity occasion clothes are loaned out by the brands, especially the high end brands
I'm so happy to see how as a fashion influencer you are becoming more aware of sustainability in the fashion industry :D If anyone is interested in learning more about the issue I highly recommend watching the documentary 'The True Cost' (it's on Netflix) it was INSANELY eye-opening!
arlette D It’s very good! You might like Kristen Leo here on UA-cam as well! 😀
Sustainability is a very important topic that needs to be universally addressed so having an influencer such as yourself spread the word is exactly what we need!
I love that your channel grows as you are. I love these personal videos that are not ‘in’, a trend, a challenge etc. I’m in love with the direction you’re taking your channel to- being more conversation and just genuine. Keep it up Niomi, you have my full support!
I am so happy you are influencing people in an eco friendly way. I love watching decluterring videos but the message you share through this was by far the best one. Keep it up, I love watching your videos XOX
Love the direction your channel has taken! Please keep using your platform to push sustainability, recycling, environmentalism, etc! I can't get enough of it!
I’ve also seen Jim take an interest in sustainability so i’m glad UA-camrs are beginning to introducing it into their videos because you do influence a lot of people. ❤️❤️love this video.
Love this message so much! Fashion is so much more than disposable and that I love that you talked about it in this vid!
I love this so much. I SO respect your genuine desire to be more eco-friendly, and your determination and follow-through. It is so inspiring to see you actually taking steps to be more environmentally conscious and this video so clearly shows you being honest and trying your best to do what you can! Thank you so much for this- I've been putting off doing my own closet clear-out for a while and this really gave me some motivation. You're the best, keep doing what you're doing!
Great job, nobody is perfect. Inspirational. Thank you.
So love that you're going in this direction, Niomi! I've been a subscriber for years and I love that you're growing and changing. I feel like this is also totally on-brand for you and not disingenuous…you're so sweet and intelligent and caring! Keep it up - I went cold turkey with buying fast fashion, but everyone taking baby steps and doing their best to do their part counts!!
I love that you as a fashion youtuber and blogger pick up this topic. It is so important, especially the fact that becoming more sustainable is a process. Even small changes can have a huge impact. Keep going!
I have been more conscious of buying what I actually NEED, rather than buying things just because I like it. Also, second hand stuff can be amazing! So glad to see you spreading this message :) Hopefully more people will be more conscious when they shop! xx
It’s great that you’re talking about this. Other big youtubers just keep on consuming while ignoring the impact they’re having and the message they’re sending out.
Very important topic, but I would have liked to see more of the actual decluttering :)
I love how eloquent and thoughtful you are in this video!
I absolutely loved how you addressed the topic of decluttering your wardrobe. We get so caught up every day and its hard to keep track of every little thing we do. And how that impacts our world and everyone on it. Thanks for sharing this wondeful video.
Thank you for being honest and open about your journey with this. I really appreciate that you're new to it and that you're working on positive changes. Super inspiring.
You’re really inspiring, Niomi, and I love how you stay so modest about everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve and all that life has offered you 💜
I can't describe how happy I am to see this video from you! UA-cam is such an amazing platform but I have always been conflicted as I know brands send so much stuff! Just being conscious about it makes a difference.
Each season I put my hangers in the opposite way, when I wear something and its ready to go back in my closet I put the hanger the right way. Its a great way to see what you wear and what you don't wear and keep on top of it! Love your videos xx
Definitely an inspiration video Niomi! I start my own decluttering tomorrow and I’m so physically and mentally prepared for it. Thank you so much for the video. We need to be more careful and respectful not only with our planet but also with our life and others. ☺️
Really glad you're being more aware and conscious about fashion! It's good that big fashion youtubers like you start to address this issue. Keep it up girl ♥
I love you so much for being so conscious of the environment and everything you're doing xx
Love your new direction with sustainability
Just wanted to say thank you for your content, I've been a fan for a long time. I've been super ill and your videos are one of the few things that make me feel better when I feel like I have nothing left. Hugs 💕
I'm so happy that you're getting into sustainibility! This is such an important topic. Thank you so much xx
Such a great video with a good message! I've become super minimalistic recently, and I find that holding onto less things actually makes me feel so much better and helps me get ready so much easier in the morning. I feel like anxious walking into my room, and I am super conscious when I do buy new things to make sure they have an exact purpose as to why I need to purchase it and why I love it :D
I love decluttering ...it’s such a good feeling when it’s done! 💁🏽♀️😍😍😍😍
Loooved this vid so much! I’m so happy you’re going in this direction and thinking about sustainability more, and sharing it with your audience 💕 there’s so much we can do as individuals
This was so interesting! I’d never thought of how wasteful fashion can be. Thank you! Definitely inspired ❤️

I am SO happy you are talking about this! After working in retail for years now, i have always wondered how no one of you "beauty gurus" talk about this.. because you (not you specifically that much) make hauls and all of this, inspiring even more buying of clothes. So happy you are spreading the word because it's such a problem also with materials such as polyester, which is made from plastic and will never actually disappear.
Thanks Niomi for this video, finally a decluttering video with a real good reason behind..getting more sustainable! I admire you, and with the number of followers you have, hopefully you’ll touch a lot of us and help change a little! 😊
Thank you for the inspiration and motivation. I had planned a cleaning day already, but I’m glad to have that extra push. Thanks, darling!
I love this and that you are raising the awareness of fast fashion and the small things we can all do to help. Well done for taking this step and thank you for sharing x
love your attitude about this!!! i recently started living a (sorta) zero waste life style and ive already learned so much. we are all shifting and improving everyday--nobody expects you to be perfect or get it all right the first time around. you've already made the decision to be more conscious. that's more than most people! so kudos to you for making the effort! i bought a pack of stainless steel straws for work after eliminating them from my life entirely. Now all of the girls at work use those straws while in the office--they used to use about 3 straws a day each! so maybe i saved a sea turtle or two. it feels good and you aren't pushing your ways onto other people, its just educating them about other options!!!!
You're such an inspiration Niomi! One of the reason that inspires me to be a better person. (With the food, sport, work hard and positivity) So weird because I've never met you, maybe one day 🙌😂 You also remind me of this quote: « How you make feel others about themselves already says a lot about you. » and you make me feel ok with myself. Xx from France.
Maïna Omg that’s so sweet of you to say! I hope she sees this! 🌞
Lea Lou thank you ! 😊
always lovely to end my Sunday and wind down with positive vibes and inspirational thoughts for the new week with you Niomi
Thank you very much Niomi for this video! It's so important to speak about sustainability.
I would just like to remind everyone that decluttering your wardrobe does not equal to making space for new stuff. I know it's not your case because you understand the importance of sustainable fashion and will maintain your wardrobe under control over time, but I just thought I put it out there.
Love you
xx
My newest mission is to buy most things second hand because these items can be so cheap and still great quality plus they come with a story which makes them super unique and fun! Great way to treat yourself to some new clothes while staying 100% sustainable :)
Niomi I was watching this video as I had to come up with a project idea for one of my geography classes and you inspired me to create a mapping project on sustainability in the fashion industry and look more into the issue. Thank you for speaking on these topics!
love this Niomi!! I have been buying all my clothes second hand for a few years now and it is SOOOO fun! Just got back from New York and found a romper suit that I just adore in a thrift store in Williamsburg. I agree with what you say about how each piece of clothing you own can really mean something special. xxx I hope you continue to enjoy the journey xx
I love your video! I like that you use your big community to spread such an important message! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your Journey ☺️
LOVED this video! So great that you talked about the enviroment and what we can do to help it, more people need to do that!
LOVE THIS! thank you for making this video!
I am someone who loves shopping and clothes, and although I never shopped too often or bought too much, I really enjoy it. I've started buying a portion of my clothes secondhand because it's so much better for the environment and you can still get new pieces without supporting the waste of the industry.
Bringing reusable straws is also a great way of being environmentally friendly! I love using straws that are made of bamboo
Thank you so much for bringing attention to sustainability in fashion! Such positive and important content! :)
It's wonderful that you are moving towards more sustainable and eco-friendly living in general. Don't worry, it can be very daunting at first but taking one thing at a time helps. I loved how you talked about that we should have a connection to our clothes and only be buying when we really need to. I only buy clothes when I know that I need to, and even then I need to find the perfect version or make it myself. The one thing I would've wished to see in this video is you telling what you are going to do with the clothes that will no longer be in your wardrobe. As in throwaway culture, many might think that you are just throwing them away, which is not very sustainable, instead of possibly recycling them, taking to charity, giving to friends or selling forward. :)
Thank you for not just doing another meaningless decluttering video like so many other youtubers. This video had a really inspiring message behind it and I applaud you for it. I have been living sustainably for a while now - I don't buy fast fashion anymore and anything I buy is made to last. (I've even stopped buying anything in disposable plastic, but that's a story for another time). I highly recommend the documentary The True Cost. It's changed my buying habits for good!
Just watched the Stacey Dooley documentary and it shocked me a lot.....so happy that one of the UA-camrs i have watched for years was not only involved in this documentary but also is trying to help and encourage sustainability as a result of it
Man I love you Niomi ❤️❤️
I LOVE that you are talking about sustainability because it’s such an important issue and I feel like you are the UA-cam Emma Watson!
Yeah, good job Niomi! Can’t wait to see more sustainability related content from you ☺️☺️
Hello Niomi,
this is so incredible what you’re doing!! You inspire me so much!
Please do more videos like this😍🤗
This is why i love watching your content :) so positive! Xxx
Love this video and love that we are now tackling fast fashion head on. Great message ❤️❤️
Your giving me motivation now to de-clutter my closet and simple life my life now. Thank you for this video. ! :)
Hello Niomi, thank you for talking about this sensitive subjet. I think is so important to be conscious of this issue in particular in social media that usually push ppl to consumption.you are super fresh, smiley and kind. I love your videos!
I love going on this journey with you!
I'm so glad you touched on fashion and sustainability. It is suprisingly one of the most detrimental industries to the environment! Great video xx
Welcome to the sustainability movement! 🙌
I'm still pretty new to the topic myself but we're in this together! It actually makes me so happy to see you, a big influencer, start a conversation about this with her audience. ❤️
loved loved loved this video!!! thank you for talking about sustainability in the fashion industry & in general
so proud of you Niomi! such a positive influence :)
it was difficult for me as well at first, but taking small steps in the right direction is the best way to go!
good for you girl! I started being more aware of sustainability the beginning of the year and banned myself from shopping (clothes and makeup) this year! and it's been honestly so good and decluttered my clothes 3 times! :) more decluttering soon again! :)
I totally agree with what you've said! Thank you for being such an inspiring person!
Also when you do go shopping start by looking in vintage and used shops! So much more sustainable and more unique!!
Thank you niomi for being such a nice,down to earth person💓però it up girl😊
It's so important to keep decluttering, keeps us happy and relaxed!
You did really well!
this is actually very inspirational. i needed this.
I love that you are doing that and that you are overthinking the need of having so much stuff
A few things; your wardrobe is glorious (the storage!), I’m happy your joining the movement of sustainability even if it is slowly, being aware is a big step in the right direction, AND it’s always refreshing when you film in a T-shirt :)
Love this video! So thought-provoking! Love how you explain and encourage the whole thing of sustainability :) You are such a role model for me Niomi
Every step matters. Every little action matters. Every time a nice message gets to as many people as possible matters. The small changes bring the big ones!!
Love your hair!!! And love your current brows.
i loved that you did a video about sustainable fashion. it is more than needed in this "influencer" life that we live in
Niomi thank you so much for using your platform to raise awareness about this huge issue. I hope other UA-camrs will follow x
A M A Z I N G !!!!!
All the UA-camrs should do the same ... Asos haul, primark haul ... enough STOP
After we never them with the clothes never never .. always shop shop
But we don’t need it to be more beautiful or prettier
If you are pretty you will be it in any way
Et not more clever !
So stop et congrats Niomi you rock
Normally I'm a silent follower but I am so happy to see this video from you. I love the direction you're taking!
the most satisfying videos to watch on the planet! x
Ahh yay! Excited for this xxx
Been watchin u since 2015. Love u soooo much!!
I am going to do this. Thanks Niomi!!
Loved this video and the thought behind it❤️
I love watching these types of videos whilst cleaning
‘The true cost’ is the best movie about fashion industry... it really gets you thinking about society nowadays
Small steps lead to change. I think you cleaned out heaps and it makes me happy to think of all the people who will use the clothes you're passing on. You're doing a wonderful thing.
I wish you could love videos because that's what I would do to this video. I've always been a casual youtube watcher but I kind of took a step back for a while because it was hard for me to watch the consumption habits of a lot of youtubers and then I found the community of sustainable bloggers and youtubers and it's amazing. But I always was hoping that someone with a large following (such as yourself) would talk about this kind of stuff because a lot of those sustainable youtubers don't have huge followings, and they're often preaching to the choir. Thank you so much for posting this video I am so so proud of you! I am an environmental studies major at university and I just want to say that what you're doing is amazing, everything in moderation, no one can do everything all at once. You are doing amazing things and I'm so so so happy about this video. I can't explain my gratitude for you creating this video and sharing this message with your followers it means so much to me and to the planet.
(A collaboration on a topic like this would be amazing-something about sustainability for beginners or how to make simple changes or even discussions about the impacts of things that people might not realize, or a sustainable clothing line business owner!!)
Love decluttering videos 👏🏾
