Episode 18:  Copycats (how fast fashion knocks itself off every day)

Episode 18: Copycats (how fast fashion knocks itself off every day)

This is part one of a three part series with our friend Dani from Picnic. Before she started her own slow fashion brand, she designed sweaters (knitwear) for several fast fashion brands. We already know that fast fashion knocks off everyone, both designers big and small, but did you know that they also knock one another off? Dani explains how this happens and why it is so, so silly. We also discuss what the internal culture of fast fashion brands is really like and why it's hard to leave as a designer or merchant.

Amanda also reminds us of Tuesday Bassen's fight against Zara. Articles of Interest has a great interview with her about it.

We have received a lot of messages about why/how retailers can just cancel orders on vendors (in the wake of Covid) without being sued. Amanda explains vendor manuals, chargebacks, and the force majeure clause. You can track who has and has not bowed to pressure to #payup here. Let's continue to pressure brands who refuse to #payup...and stop buying stuff from them. They don't deserve our money! Let's give it to brands and designers who do good things! #buylessbuybetter
