It is no secret that fast fashion is produced with both cheap and disposable materials. It is even proven that “The global apparel and footwear industry accounts for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions releasing four metric gigatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere”. (Quantis 2018)

If that is not enough to encourage you to shop ethically, “More than 50% of the emissions from clothing production comes from three phases: dyeing and finishing (36%), yarn preparation (28%) and fibre production (15%)”. (Quantis 2018).

This is why sustainable companies such as Antidote are the answer. 

Antidote is a curated Miami-based company dedicated to producing and selling ethical merchandise. 

Here is a look at some of the products!

 So, you do not live in Miami? Not a problem. Antidote has a website where they sell their French-inspired sustainable fashion. Visit https://antidote.us for details.

 Here is a also a  sneak peak of Antidote’s Spring 2019 merchandise!

Anticipation is building up in the video above as fans are about to watch the Chainsmokers make their debut at Ultra 2019. Ultra 2019, which was held at Virginia Key Beach in Miami, was where the Chainsmoker’s headlined on Day 3 of the annual festival. 

Not familiar with the Chainsmokers?

The Chainsmokers duo featuring Alex Pall and Rhett Bixler emerged in 2012. Manager of the Chainsmokers Adam Alpert introduced Alex Pall to Andrew Taggart, while they were all in New York City.  Shortly after this meeting, Bixler left the band.

Pall was raised in Westchester County, New York. For college, he attended New York University, where he studied art. Taggart however, is from Freeport, Maine. For undergrad, he went to Syracuse University, where Taggart interned at Interscope Records.

The Chainsmokers (Alex Pall and Drew Taggart) breakout hit was “Selfie”, which was launched in 2014. According to USA Today, “Selfie” with vocals by Alexis Killacam has “become one of the fastest-climbing tracks on the sales charts, with 180,000 downloads since the song’s release Jan. 28, according to Nielsen SoundScan. On Sunday, versions of #SELFIE were at No. 4 and No. 34 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart. In a seven-day period ending March 13, the band added social-media fans at double the rate of the previous week, says analytics company Musicmetric” (Mansfield, 2014).

There is no doubt that this song was their claim to fame. Since then, the Chainsmokers have been seen dominating the “Billboard Hot 100″ list with hits such as “Closer” featuring Halsey (2016), “Roses” (2015), and “Don’t Let Me Down”(2016). Each of these songs have went double platinum.

Continue viewing to watch more footage of fans going wild over the Chainsmokers at Ultra 2019.

This is footage taken by University of Miami student and festival goer, Charlotte Payne. This video showcases the crowd going crazy over the Chainsmokers music. It displays how a true connection has been established between the performers and their audience members.
