I used to struggle with serious decision fatigue when #ThriftShopping/ #OppShopping. I used to get sidetracked looking at all sorts of stuff, buy clothes just because they fit without thinking if I would actually enjoy wearing them, spend more than I wanted to, and still have nothing to wear.

Here’s how I’m turning things around and now actually enjoying my #SecondHand shops.

1: I learned that I am worthy of feeling great in what I wear. I’ve been obese my entire adult life. Without realising it, I had made the assumption that I would look and feel bad in anything I wore, and therefore, I just wore whatever. I am thankful for some role models who showed me #SustainableFashion was for everybody, and even I deserved to feel good in my clothes.

2: I developed my own sense of style. With some help, I made a mood board based on the 3 items of clothing from my wardrobe that I felt good in… literally three. There were specific reasons I liked each of them, I found photos of similar garments with the same properties I liked and added them to my board, looked up advice for my body shape and tried to nail down a colour season, then used those for some more ideas. This gave me a very narrow idea of what might be ‘my style’ then came the interesting part… I went out shopping with a veteran #Thrifter who had a good grasp of #Fashion. What I ended up buying was not identical to my mood board, but it was a small collection of things I felt good in and that mixed and matched well.

Fast fashion isn’t just about trends — it’s about systems.
Ultra‑fast fashion depends on overproduction, disposable clothing, and plastic fibres, pushing environmental and social costs onto workers, communities, and ecosystems.
We need to talk about structure, not shame.

🇬🇧 The normalisation of greenwashing
As sustainability fades from fashion’s agenda, misleading claims fill the void

We came across a Business of Fashion interview with H&M’s CEO and CSO. The headline? “H&M says sustainability is good for business. Can it get shoppers to care?”

Sounds reasonable. Until you read between the lines.

Because here’s what’s missing from that conversation:
❌ No mention of overproduction
❌ No questions about a business model built on volume
❌ No scrutiny — just a quote shifting responsibility onto consumers

This isn’t a failure of the system. This is a feature of it.

When sustainability quietly fades from the agenda, greenwashing becomes acceptable. Safe. Normal.

🇮🇹 La normalizzazione del greenwashing
Mentre la sostenibilità scompare dall’agenda della moda, le affermazioni ingannevoli riempiono il vuoto

Ci siamo imbattuti in un'intervista di Business of Fashion con l'amministratore delegato e la CSO di H&M. Il titolo? "H&M dice che la sostenibilità è buona per gli affari. Può convincere i clienti a interessarsene?"

Sembra ragionevole. Finché non leggi tra le righe.

Perché ecco cosa manca da quella conversazione:
❌ Nessuna menzione della sovrapproduzione
❌ Nessuna domanda su un modello di business basato sul volume
❌ Nessuna analisi critica — solo una citazione che scarica la responsabilità sui consumatori

Questo non è un fallimento del sistema. È una sua caratteristica.

Quando la sostenibilità svanisce silenziosamente dall'agenda, il greenwashing diventa accettabile. Sicuro. Normale.

Stella McCartney svela la colab con H&M:
"Detesto quanto il mio settore sia elitario"

Mi sentivo quasi in difetto a condividere qui un mio post sulla normalizzazione del greenwashing. Poi leggo notizie così e mi rendo conto ce n’è bisogno. Se alle persone non vengono forniti alcuni semplici principi che aiutano a distinguere cosa sia sostenibile e cosa no, è molto facile cadere nella trappola.

Stella McCartney avrebbe voluto portare sul mercato un marchio di lusso che fosse anche vegano e sostenibile. Allora per quale motivo fa una collab con H&M?

1- nel 2025 interrompe il contratto con LVMH, basta spalle coperte, ma i soldi servono, e evidentemente H&M paga bene. Se detestasse davvero il suo settore in quanto elitario, non avrebbe lanciato un brand di lusso.

2- perché una designer che lancia un brand sostenibile sceglie di fare un accordo con un brand di fast fashion, il cui modello di business è basato su sovrapproduzione e sfruttamento dei lavoratori e del pianeta?

3- se detesta il suo settore in quanto elitario, perché si reca ai vari panel sulla sostenibilità a bordo del suo jet privato?

Non suona tanto di presa in giro?
La verità è che la signora Stella McCartney, forte del suo cognome, è la regina del greenwashing.
