Social Media Influencers and the Slow Fashion Movement

A statistic produced by Earth.org that is often talked about on the topic of fast fashion is that the amount of CO2 produced by fast fashion is double the amount produced by aviation and shipping combined. 20% of the world's wastewater, according to the UN Environment Programme, is generated by the dyeing of textiles. Because most production takes place in nations with weak laws, wastewater frequently ends up in rivers and oceans where it may cause havoc. Many well-educated clients are concerned and well-aware of the situation, which has a bad impact on people's long term well-being, thus a movement has been formed called Slow Fashion. The movement calls for more awareness of having a more sustainable lifestyle, especially in the fashion industry. In order to achieve sustainability, it’s said to focus more on the durability of the product, the ability to recycle and reuse, also slow down the production process and emphasize ethical issues, such as child labour, exploitation, etc. According to Ozdamar-Ertekin and Atik (2015), increasing consumer awareness of issues relating to social and environmental sustainability is what is driving the development of slow fashion. Because of this, consumers now want to exceed the trend of fast fashion. Customers are pressuring businesses to use socially and ecologically responsible practices in their production process since they are more aware of social and environmental issues (Pookulangara & Shephard, 2013). Consumers who follow this movement also experience emotions of self-growth and well-being, as it minimizes damage to the environment yet d0 not limit fashion style to anyone. Furthermore, I have also realized that fast fashion and the fashion industry as a whole take a huge responsibility for representing unhealthy body images. Therefore, not only do brands take initiative to be more sustainable in their production process but also be more inclusive toward those underrepresented.

This advertisement, “Pandemic Effect,” was created by one of the biggest skincare and cosmetic companies in Southeast Asia and arguably the world. Belo made this advertisement which is intended for people that are staying in their houses. It's crucial to maintain your health throughout the pandemic for several reasons. It can aid in reducing the risk of catching and transmitting COVID-19. Overall health and quality of life may be enhanced. It can help maintain a robust immune system, which is crucial throughout the epidemic. Stress reduction is a benefit for mental health. Keeping a cheerful attitude and communicating with loved ones might be helpful. In general, maintaining good health throughout the pandemic is essential for maintaining physical and mental well-being as well as halting the spread of COVID-19. For effective treatment, prevention, early identification, and tailored therapy, awareness is crucial. People are more inclined to take preventative action and go for screenings, testing, and checkups if they are aware of a disease and its symptoms. The danger of infections, fatalities, and financial losses can be reduced by properly raising public awareness of COVID-19. Additionally, it can enhance health outcomes, lockdown quality of life, survivability, and effective job, business, and financial planning, among other things. 

The pandemic's effects on the cosmetics market have been uneven. On the one hand, customized cosmetic treatments, creams, and supplements gained popularity during the pandemic. The interest in skincare goods grew, while interest in cosmetics products fell. The pandemic was quite advantageous for cosmetics, particularly sanitizers and health goods. As individuals prioritize self-care more, care products are becoming even more significant. Overall, even if the pandemic has impacted the cosmetic sector, there are still certain goods that can be helpful now, such as skin care products and sanitizer items.

The Body Positivity Movement and Fashion

I found a website called, LUXIDERS which helped me understand a bit more about body positivity, the history, and creating change.

LUXIDERS, THE SMART LUXURY MAGAZINE

Luxiders is the New Intelligent Luxury Magazine for conscious women and men. Based on stories about sustainable fashion, eco design, natural beauty and healthy lifestyle, this magazine fuses the best high-end, progressive, luxury brands and independent designers.

Founded in Berlin, Luxiders Magazine began as a project of passion to fill the void for an informed, creative and avant-garde eco-friendly readers and consumers. Today, the magazine has grown to build a network of savvy writers and creative insiders around the world that want to leave their sustainable mark on a time of unprecedented change.

Overall, Luxiders Magazine aspires to expand the responsable consumption Worldwide, building a culture of respect, with positive effects on the economy, society and the environment by reducing poverty, hunger, pollution, climate change and inequalities and increasing well-being, justice and peace.

Below is keynotes that I made:

The body positivity movement has become one of the largest push-backs against a lack of diversity and positive self images in the fashion industry.

The movement advocates for the representation of all body types, sizes, physical abilities, races, and genders.

For a long time, the fashion industry has mainly used white, skinny, young, and female models on runways, in magazines, to advertise new collections, and in brand commercials on TV or elsewhere.

In the fashion industry, sample-sized garments are typically between a US size 0 and 4, which is not representative of the average body type.

Approximately 80% of U.S. women don’t like how they look, and 70% of normal weighted women want to be thinner.

In Australia, nearly 15% of men report an overvaluation of weight and shape.

In the UK, 1 in 5 adults has felt shame because of their body image over the last year.

One study found that using social media for as little as 30 minutes per day can negatively impact how people view their bodies.

One in five UK adults say that images on social media have caused them to worry about their body image. This just goes to show how much power the fashion industry has to either positively or negatively affect how people view and think about themselves.

BODY POSITIVITY’S HISTORY

Body positvity hasn't been the first time it's been a major problem.

The Victorian Dress Reform Movement that happened between the 1850s-1890s was one of the first of its kind, and it aimed to put an end to the trend of women having to modify their bodies through corsets and tightlacing, and during this time women also fought for the right to wear pants.

In America in 1969, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance was created to help end discrimination based on body weight and to change the dialogue surrounding obesity and health.

In the 1990’s, body positivity focused largely on giving people of all sizes a place where they could come together and exercise, and things like “Yoga For Round Bodies” started popping up.

Since 2010 body positivity movement is imprint and has made itslef to platforms like TikTok. Toktok Buddy on YouTube has a 7 minute long video that features different people showing how proud they are of what makes them unique. It’s purposefully titled “Normalizing Body Insecurities | Body Positivity | Self Love,” and it shows everything from body hair to surgical scars to cellulite. CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE

Some people have built a career around the body positivity movement and are trying to show the general public that all body shapes and sizes are normal. It’s often individuals who start big movements, and when brands start to receive backlash for not being inclusive, they typically follow suit.

Nike’s Plus Size Collection is a great example of a world-renowned brand that listened to consumers who were asking for inclusivity.

Dove has been a pioneer in championing “real women” in its marketing. Other companies like Billie, which sells razors, started talking about things that no one else would from the get go. Billie’s marketing campaigns show women shaving toe hair in an attempt to normalize things that most people have, but never talk about.

The fashion industry is becoming more and more body positive as time goes on. This year especially has put a lot of pressure on brands and companies to be more inclusive.

Model Jill Mercado rocked The Blonds runway from her wheelchair during New York fashion week in February, and earlier this summer Gucci released its latest mascara campaign starring Ellie Goldstein, an 18-year-old model with Down’s syndrome.

In the world of sustainable fashion, some brands are taking initiative to be as inclusive as possible, especially since the sustainable fashion industry doesn't have the best reputation for representing diverse groups of people.

The activewear brand Girlfriend Collective has inclusive sizing that ranges from XXS-6XL, Mara Hoffman offers sizes XXS-2XL, and Eileen Fisher offers sizes up to 3XL. These are just some examples of how brands are finally starting to realize and listen to the fact that human beings come in all shapes and sizes. And if the body positivity campaign has made huge progress in the fashion industry, body inclusivity debates do need to do a better job at incorporating men and gender non-conforming people. Plus-size males are barely seen in the fashion industry, as the bulk of male models are blonde, skinny, and able-bodied. Since society does not offer a safe forum for men to share their opinions and beliefs on male portrayal in the media, the subject of male body positivity remains taboo. The fashion industry benefits from more diversity. Everyone gains as brands and companies work with all body sizes, ages, races, and abilities in mind.

I have learnt alot here about the brand and the many ways the market body mositivty.

Sustainable Magazines

I thought it would be good to look at other fashion magazines, particularly sustainable fashion ones. This would give us an idea of what other magazines look like and what names they call themselves. Looking at other magazines, can help us depict whether it is important or not, to have a name that directly links to what the magazine is. Some magazines have random cool names but it noes not link with what the magazine is about. These two are the only magazines that I could generally find. They talk about the sustainable culture but there is not many magazines ,that solely based their magazine, on sustainable fashion. This makes it perfect for us to create a style of magazine that has not got much competition. 

Luxiders Sustainable Culture

https://luxiders.com

I love the look on the in and outside of this magazine. The layout and text is very simple, giving a very minimalistic approach. I find it interesting that the barcode is on the front cover, I would have thought this would be on the back. I believe it is not an attractive feature and does not need to be seen. It would be different if it was a QR code, as you wan the code to be seen to be used. There seems to be a lot of blue/ grey tones in the overall colour scheme. This makes it very appealing that the overall pages have a consistent theme. I would like this to be in our magazine as it looks more professional and well thought through. The name does not link with the magazine, many people will not know what they means. I googled it as there is no meaning behind the title, just the magazine comes up when searched. 

Refix

http://refixmag.com

I love the colours on the front cover, it is very soft and delicate looking. Even though some people may say the skin colour blends in with the background, I think it works well. I think the name does link to sustainability as it is ‘refix’. You can refix items, anything with ‘re’ in-front of it means that its being used more than once. I do believe that the title does not stand out as well as the time that is on the models hand. The title is very opaque which could mean they are trying to go for a overall soft brushed look. I like how they have laid out the contents page. They have shown the main pages with images to highlight each section. Very simple but effective. I like how it has images too and not just a page full of text. I think a lot of people would skip the contents page if it was just lots of text. This magazine has put a small title, underneath the name of the magazine. I think it is good to have a very small summary of what type of magazine it is. For example, Refix is a sustainable, ethical fashion magazine within the eco culture.
