00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,294
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges

2
00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,174
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:23,854
Speaker 1: is recorded on Hi. I'm Clare Murphy. This is Mumma

4
00:00:23,894 --> 00:00:27,214
Speaker 1: MIA's daily news podcast for Quickie. Did you know that

5
00:00:27,294 --> 00:00:31,134
Speaker 1: in the past, trends adhere to a pretty regular twenty

6
00:00:31,174 --> 00:00:34,814
Speaker 1: year cycle. Every couple of decades or so, something that

7
00:00:34,854 --> 00:00:37,814
Speaker 1: went through the five stages of a fashion trend returned

8
00:00:37,814 --> 00:00:40,614
Speaker 1: to the front of the queue. But that rotation seems

9
00:00:40,654 --> 00:00:42,814
Speaker 1: to now be a bit broken, and we might be

10
00:00:42,894 --> 00:00:45,894
Speaker 1: destroying the planet to keep up with it. Before we

11
00:00:45,974 --> 00:00:48,854
Speaker 1: find out why Fitcheck's are killing the fashion cycle, here's

12
00:00:48,894 --> 00:00:51,774
Speaker 1: the latest from the Quikie newsroom, Wednesday, May twenty nine.

13
00:00:52,414 --> 00:00:55,134
Speaker 1: The temporary peer set up by the US to get

14
00:00:55,134 --> 00:00:58,654
Speaker 1: aid to starving Palestinians has to be removed after it

15
00:00:58,694 --> 00:01:01,774
Speaker 1: was damaged in rough seas. The Pentagon says the repairs

16
00:01:01,814 --> 00:01:04,014
Speaker 1: will likely take at least a week before it can

17
00:01:04,054 --> 00:01:06,774
Speaker 1: be reanchored back to the beach. The peer is one

18
00:01:06,774 --> 00:01:09,374
Speaker 1: of only a few ways that food, water, and others

19
00:01:09,374 --> 00:01:12,894
Speaker 1: suppliers are able to reach Palestinians, who the UN says

20
00:01:12,974 --> 00:01:15,574
Speaker 1: are on the brink of famine. After eight months of

21
00:01:15,574 --> 00:01:19,254
Speaker 1: a retaliatory operation from Israel, the UN says the situation

22
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:23,014
Speaker 1: has worsened, with them unable to secure supplies the aid

23
00:01:23,094 --> 00:01:26,774
Speaker 1: groups saying Palestinians who relied on part humanitarian aid even

24
00:01:26,814 --> 00:01:30,174
Speaker 1: before the war are now left to largely fend for themselves.

25
00:01:30,574 --> 00:01:33,374
Speaker 1: Over the past three weeks, Israel's offensive in Rafa has

26
00:01:33,414 --> 00:01:36,894
Speaker 1: sent nearly one million Palestinians fleeing the southern city, where

27
00:01:36,894 --> 00:01:39,374
Speaker 1: they'd been told to go by Israel after they were

28
00:01:39,374 --> 00:01:42,734
Speaker 1: displaced by the war further north. Despite calls from leaders

29
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:45,374
Speaker 1: around the world for Israel to halt the Rafa attacks,

30
00:01:45,654 --> 00:01:49,614
Speaker 1: Israeli authorities say they will not stop until Hamas is destroyed.

31
00:01:50,214 --> 00:01:52,254
Speaker 1: A new report from the New South Wales Bureau of

32
00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:55,334
Speaker 1: Crime Statistics and Research shows fewer than one in ten

33
00:01:55,454 --> 00:01:59,334
Speaker 1: sexual assault allegations reported to police resulted in a guilty

34
00:01:59,454 --> 00:02:02,614
Speaker 1: verdict in court. Of the five eight hundred and sixty

35
00:02:02,694 --> 00:02:05,894
Speaker 1: nine sexual assault allegations reported to New South Wales police

36
00:02:05,974 --> 00:02:09,414
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, less than fifteen percent resulted in chan

37
00:02:09,894 --> 00:02:12,654
Speaker 1: even being laid, and fewer than half the cases it

38
00:02:12,694 --> 00:02:15,934
Speaker 1: did actually get to court were proven. The report shows

39
00:02:15,934 --> 00:02:18,374
Speaker 1: that the vast majority of sexual assaults never make it

40
00:02:18,454 --> 00:02:21,934
Speaker 1: past a police report, the bureau's executive director, saying the

41
00:02:21,974 --> 00:02:25,734
Speaker 1: low conviction rate could influence the quality of a police investigation.

42
00:02:26,174 --> 00:02:28,814
Speaker 1: A twenty twenty three study found the decision not to

43
00:02:28,854 --> 00:02:32,694
Speaker 1: proceed to court with a sexual assault allegation was overwhelmingly

44
00:02:32,774 --> 00:02:36,454
Speaker 1: determined by police experts, saying police are aware of the

45
00:02:36,454 --> 00:02:39,614
Speaker 1: low rate of conviction and this may potentially influence how

46
00:02:39,654 --> 00:02:43,174
Speaker 1: much effort is put into the investigation. The Pope has

47
00:02:43,214 --> 00:02:46,174
Speaker 1: apologized after he was quoted using an offensive word for

48
00:02:46,214 --> 00:02:50,734
Speaker 1: the LGBTQI community to reaffirm the Catholic Church's ban on

49
00:02:50,814 --> 00:02:55,574
Speaker 1: gay priests. Vatican spokesman Matteo Brunei issued a statement acknowledging

50
00:02:55,574 --> 00:02:58,294
Speaker 1: the reports that the Pope used the F word, which

51
00:02:58,374 --> 00:03:01,414
Speaker 1: was delivered behind closed doors to Italian bishops on May

52
00:03:01,454 --> 00:03:05,094
Speaker 1: twenty Brunei saying Pope Francis never intended to offend or

53
00:03:05,174 --> 00:03:08,414
Speaker 1: express himself in homophobic terms, and that he extends his

54
00:03:08,494 --> 00:03:11,094
Speaker 1: apologies to those who were offended by the use of

55
00:03:11,134 --> 00:03:14,374
Speaker 1: a term that was reported by others. With that statement,

56
00:03:14,414 --> 00:03:17,934
Speaker 1: Brunei has carefully avoided confirming that the word was actually

57
00:03:18,054 --> 00:03:20,774
Speaker 1: used by the Pope, but they also don't deny he

58
00:03:20,814 --> 00:03:25,134
Speaker 1: said it either. Australia has become the fast fashion capital

59
00:03:25,134 --> 00:03:27,974
Speaker 1: of the world, buying more new clothes per person than

60
00:03:28,014 --> 00:03:32,134
Speaker 1: any other country. The Australia Institute analysis shows Australia has

61
00:03:32,174 --> 00:03:35,214
Speaker 1: now surpassed the US as the world's biggest consumer of

62
00:03:35,254 --> 00:03:38,574
Speaker 1: textiles per capita, with more than one point four billion

63
00:03:38,694 --> 00:03:41,294
Speaker 1: units of new clothing coming into the country each year

64
00:03:41,614 --> 00:03:44,134
Speaker 1: and more than two hundred thousand tons of that ending

65
00:03:44,214 --> 00:03:47,294
Speaker 1: up in landfill. There are calls for policies aimed at

66
00:03:47,334 --> 00:03:50,774
Speaker 1: creating a circular economy where it comes to textiles. That

67
00:03:50,894 --> 00:03:55,214
Speaker 1: includes domestic manufacturing and recycling programs that are needed to

68
00:03:55,254 --> 00:03:57,934
Speaker 1: stop the flood of cheap clothing ending up at the dump.

69
00:03:58,894 --> 00:04:01,614
Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news today. Next, has trend

70
00:04:01,734 --> 00:04:04,934
Speaker 1: core gone too far? Are we exhausted with trying to

71
00:04:04,974 --> 00:04:07,694
Speaker 1: know what's in and what is out? And is fast

72
00:04:07,734 --> 00:04:20,854
Speaker 1: fashion to blame or the pandemic? If you are a

73
00:04:20,974 --> 00:04:23,854
Speaker 1: late gen X or elder millennial, you might be spotting

74
00:04:23,894 --> 00:04:27,374
Speaker 1: some trends returning to stores that are teleporting you right

75
00:04:27,414 --> 00:04:31,134
Speaker 1: back to your youth. Added our snapside trackies have returned,

76
00:04:31,174 --> 00:04:34,294
Speaker 1: so have slouch socks, wide belts, and low rise genes.

77
00:04:34,654 --> 00:04:37,774
Speaker 1: It's like the late nineties early two thousands are being resurrected,

78
00:04:38,054 --> 00:04:40,414
Speaker 1: along with the music that we loved then too, a

79
00:04:40,494 --> 00:04:48,294
Speaker 1: shift from loving nineties pop and R and B more

80
00:04:48,334 --> 00:04:51,094
Speaker 1: into the old rock loves of the time like Paramore,

81
00:04:51,654 --> 00:05:02,494
Speaker 1: Just It's This is what's known as a standard fashion cycle.

82
00:05:02,814 --> 00:05:05,254
Speaker 1: Experts are able to predict the trends that will rise

83
00:05:05,294 --> 00:05:09,734
Speaker 1: again after they've finished their five transition stages. Stage one

84
00:05:09,774 --> 00:05:12,534
Speaker 1: is the introduction, where we first discover a new thing.

85
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:15,694
Speaker 1: If it's fashion, it likely started from a major label

86
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,454
Speaker 1: and is first spotted during one of the various fashion weeks.

87
00:05:19,134 --> 00:05:22,334
Speaker 1: The second stage is the trends rise, where the style

88
00:05:22,414 --> 00:05:26,214
Speaker 1: evolves from new to everyone jumping on board. Celebs and

89
00:05:26,254 --> 00:05:29,374
Speaker 1: influencers help make this happen faster than ever, and their

90
00:05:29,494 --> 00:05:32,814
Speaker 1: army of stylists and strategists often work behind the scenes

91
00:05:32,814 --> 00:05:36,534
Speaker 1: to make this happen. At stage three, the trend reaches

92
00:05:36,574 --> 00:05:39,974
Speaker 1: its peak. The style is carried by most major retailers.

93
00:05:40,134 --> 00:05:43,294
Speaker 1: Fast Fashion has copied and distributed it on mass, so

94
00:05:43,334 --> 00:05:46,934
Speaker 1: it's available to pretty much everyone. How long that peak

95
00:05:47,054 --> 00:05:52,974
Speaker 1: lasts is unpredictable. Stage four is a trends decline. The

96
00:05:53,014 --> 00:05:56,214
Speaker 1: market has been saturated, consumers have grown tired of it

97
00:05:56,374 --> 00:05:59,294
Speaker 1: and are looking for something that's no longer so mainstream.

98
00:05:59,694 --> 00:06:03,134
Speaker 1: Stage five is a trends obsolescence. This is where it

99
00:06:03,174 --> 00:06:07,134
Speaker 1: is now officially out of fashion, lying dormant until it's

100
00:06:07,174 --> 00:06:11,094
Speaker 1: rediscovered twenty years or so late and returns to the

101
00:06:11,134 --> 00:06:16,174
Speaker 1: introduction phase. This is where older generations either laugh or

102
00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:19,734
Speaker 1: cry when influences of today discover something that was a

103
00:06:19,774 --> 00:06:23,054
Speaker 1: staple from their wardrobe of a bygone era. It's then

104
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:25,774
Speaker 1: that these influencers either claim it as their own new thing,

105
00:06:26,014 --> 00:06:28,654
Speaker 1: like tank top layering. Girl, You guys, if you're not

106
00:06:28,774 --> 00:06:34,574
Speaker 1: tank top layering, I've discovered an innovation that excites, or

107
00:06:34,654 --> 00:06:37,614
Speaker 1: label at vintage, like the girl who discovered those pronged

108
00:06:37,654 --> 00:06:40,494
Speaker 1: headbands and thought she needed a history lesson to discover

109
00:06:40,574 --> 00:06:42,374
Speaker 1: its origins. Let me know what you guys.

110
00:06:42,214 --> 00:06:44,614
Speaker 2: Think and what time period did they wear these in.

111
00:06:45,414 --> 00:06:47,974
Speaker 1: So while some of these things are still rotating in

112
00:06:48,014 --> 00:06:51,574
Speaker 1: that twenty year trend period, something happened in twenty twenty

113
00:06:51,614 --> 00:06:55,214
Speaker 1: and it changed everything. You guessed it. Another thing the

114
00:06:55,254 --> 00:07:00,654
Speaker 1: pandemic interrupted was a natural order of trends. Now if

115
00:07:00,694 --> 00:07:03,534
Speaker 1: you do a cheeky scroll through your social media of choice.

116
00:07:03,734 --> 00:07:06,614
Speaker 1: It'd be forgiven for being confused as to what trend

117
00:07:06,774 --> 00:07:09,654
Speaker 1: is currently at the top of the pile, and something

118
00:07:09,734 --> 00:07:12,134
Speaker 1: that are one minute out of fashion like ankle sock,

119
00:07:12,214 --> 00:07:14,974
Speaker 1: skinny jeans and side parts are a couple of years

120
00:07:15,094 --> 00:07:17,894
Speaker 1: or even a matter of months in obsolescence before they're

121
00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:21,214
Speaker 1: all of a sudden making a comeback. We now exist

122
00:07:21,294 --> 00:07:25,734
Speaker 1: in the era of micro trends, where we collectively group looks, vibes,

123
00:07:25,814 --> 00:07:29,654
Speaker 1: or aesthetics into labels like coquette or cottage, core, preppy

124
00:07:29,814 --> 00:07:34,014
Speaker 1: or clean girl. Fashion seems to be drawing from every subculture,

125
00:07:34,094 --> 00:07:37,254
Speaker 1: with punk fying for space with alternative, while goth is

126
00:07:37,334 --> 00:07:40,454
Speaker 1: up against a Y two K revival. So how on

127
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:42,254
Speaker 1: earth do we stay on top of all this? And

128
00:07:42,414 --> 00:07:46,214
Speaker 1: do we even want to? Lee Campbell is Mummam's executive

129
00:07:46,294 --> 00:07:49,854
Speaker 1: editor and co host of the podcast Nothing to Wear. Lee,

130
00:07:49,854 --> 00:07:51,854
Speaker 1: do you find the passing of trends harder to stay

131
00:07:51,854 --> 00:07:54,014
Speaker 1: on top of now compared to say, when you're at

132
00:07:54,014 --> 00:07:57,894
Speaker 1: the helm of Cosmo, which is itself coming back into fashion? Literally?

133
00:07:58,374 --> 00:08:00,734
Speaker 2: Look, I guess it depends on what you classify as

134
00:08:00,774 --> 00:08:04,174
Speaker 2: a trend. So we like to call something a trend

135
00:08:04,214 --> 00:08:07,014
Speaker 2: on social media because it's clicking and people watch the content.

136
00:08:07,134 --> 00:08:08,974
Speaker 2: But there is so many what I guess I would

137
00:08:08,974 --> 00:08:12,174
Speaker 2: call micro trends that might be inspired by a movie

138
00:08:12,254 --> 00:08:14,894
Speaker 2: or a show or a runway. But it's like a

139
00:08:14,934 --> 00:08:17,974
Speaker 2: fleeting flash in the pan. So I don't hard to

140
00:08:18,054 --> 00:08:19,774
Speaker 2: keep on top of it. I just don't buy into

141
00:08:20,134 --> 00:08:23,054
Speaker 2: or purchase or wear every single trend because there can

142
00:08:23,094 --> 00:08:25,934
Speaker 2: be ten that might be conflicting at any one time.

143
00:08:26,654 --> 00:08:30,134
Speaker 1: Is it a case of the fact that these trends

144
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:32,134
Speaker 1: have always been like this, with little things kind of

145
00:08:32,134 --> 00:08:34,734
Speaker 1: coming and going, but now that social media highlights them,

146
00:08:35,094 --> 00:08:37,574
Speaker 1: we're just aware that these things are out there and

147
00:08:37,614 --> 00:08:38,254
Speaker 1: doing the realms.

148
00:08:38,574 --> 00:08:40,934
Speaker 2: Oh look, yes or no. Before social media, we didn't

149
00:08:41,014 --> 00:08:44,254
Speaker 2: know how frequently people purchased things, or people didn't purchase

150
00:08:44,294 --> 00:08:46,894
Speaker 2: thing as frequently, and we didn't kind of have the

151
00:08:46,974 --> 00:08:50,134
Speaker 2: fast fashion and cyclical speed that we have now. So

152
00:08:50,174 --> 00:08:52,574
Speaker 2: we used to buy one or two pairs of genes

153
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:55,654
Speaker 2: every couple of years. But now everyone's confused because we're

154
00:08:55,654 --> 00:08:57,534
Speaker 2: told this gene and that gene, and it just happens

155
00:08:57,574 --> 00:08:59,934
Speaker 2: so much faster. But I think the problem is people

156
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:01,654
Speaker 2: think they have to be on top of trends and

157
00:09:01,694 --> 00:09:04,534
Speaker 2: can't wear something that they love because it's quote unquote

158
00:09:04,534 --> 00:09:07,534
Speaker 2: not in so yes, it's always been this way. It's

159
00:09:07,534 --> 00:09:10,014
Speaker 2: just the cycle has kind of turned into a washing

160
00:09:10,054 --> 00:09:11,854
Speaker 2: machine and it's getting a little bit out of control.

161
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:14,734
Speaker 1: Can we focus on jeans just for one second, because

162
00:09:14,734 --> 00:09:18,094
Speaker 1: if you go back to when I was a teenager,

163
00:09:18,414 --> 00:09:20,894
Speaker 1: we all wore the same kind of gene, which was

164
00:09:20,934 --> 00:09:23,454
Speaker 1: low rise with a bit of a flare. They've also

165
00:09:23,494 --> 00:09:26,574
Speaker 1: come back into fashion just recently, but now we have

166
00:09:27,014 --> 00:09:30,174
Speaker 1: barrel jeans, wide leg flare. I mean, skinny jeans. We

167
00:09:30,254 --> 00:09:32,294
Speaker 1: told are on the outer, but we've got all these

168
00:09:32,334 --> 00:09:35,654
Speaker 1: different vibes, carpenter jeans, They're all happening all at once

169
00:09:35,694 --> 00:09:39,374
Speaker 1: in just jeans alone. How do we know what is

170
00:09:39,414 --> 00:09:41,974
Speaker 1: actually top of the trend pilor do we literally just

171
00:09:42,014 --> 00:09:43,174
Speaker 1: go with what we like best?

172
00:09:43,654 --> 00:09:46,974
Speaker 2: Stop trying to follow trends? Is my recommendation. Everyone's body tight,

173
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:50,734
Speaker 2: body shape, comfort factor, lifestyle is completely different. I mean

174
00:09:51,134 --> 00:09:53,614
Speaker 2: you can loosely monitor trends by what's online or what's

175
00:09:53,614 --> 00:09:55,854
Speaker 2: in store. Wide leg has been around for quite a

176
00:09:55,854 --> 00:09:58,694
Speaker 2: while now, and I love it because it's comfortable. It

177
00:09:58,734 --> 00:10:00,334
Speaker 2: hugs you around, the waist, but other than that, they

178
00:10:00,454 --> 00:10:02,734
Speaker 2: just fall. I hate nothing more than wanting to rip

179
00:10:02,734 --> 00:10:04,374
Speaker 2: my jeans off the minute I get home, because I

180
00:10:04,414 --> 00:10:06,534
Speaker 2: just don't want to wear them all day. Having said that,

181
00:10:06,574 --> 00:10:08,734
Speaker 2: I've got some wonderful pairs of skinny jeans that I

182
00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:11,494
Speaker 2: feel a class and I've kept them and I'm still

183
00:10:11,534 --> 00:10:14,654
Speaker 2: wearing them. Skinny jeans are coming back because oftentimes, if

184
00:10:14,654 --> 00:10:18,854
Speaker 2: we see a silhouette on enough runways in the overseas shows,

185
00:10:19,054 --> 00:10:22,294
Speaker 2: eventually it trickles down to yazaras and the retailers here.

186
00:10:22,854 --> 00:10:25,614
Speaker 2: But I think where the genes you like, You've probably

187
00:10:25,654 --> 00:10:27,574
Speaker 2: purchased jeans that work with a lot of tops and

188
00:10:27,614 --> 00:10:30,894
Speaker 2: combinations in your wardrobe. So while you can be guided

189
00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:33,254
Speaker 2: by what's online or what you're seeing on social media,

190
00:10:33,374 --> 00:10:37,574
Speaker 2: it's not actual law. There is no real life fashion police.

191
00:10:37,854 --> 00:10:39,894
Speaker 1: Are you telling me I can wear ankle socks if

192
00:10:39,934 --> 00:10:41,094
Speaker 1: I want to wear ankle socks?

193
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:43,894
Speaker 2: Lee Campbell, Claire Murphy, I have not purchased one pair

194
00:10:43,934 --> 00:10:46,214
Speaker 2: of longer socks. I am an ankle sock and an

195
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:49,334
Speaker 2: invisible sock stan and I refuse to be told what

196
00:10:49,454 --> 00:10:50,054
Speaker 2: socks to wear.

197
00:10:50,574 --> 00:10:53,054
Speaker 1: I love that. So when it comes to fast fashion,

198
00:10:53,054 --> 00:10:56,894
Speaker 1: which you just mentioned. Has that made this spin cycle

199
00:10:57,454 --> 00:11:00,854
Speaker 1: rotate quicker than we would have seen normally because of

200
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:03,654
Speaker 1: the amount of profit these guys make off us changing

201
00:11:03,654 --> 00:11:05,534
Speaker 1: our minds and those trends changing so quickly.

202
00:11:06,214 --> 00:11:09,174
Speaker 2: Yeah, so most fast fashion websites or stores have a

203
00:11:09,254 --> 00:11:12,814
Speaker 2: day le drop of new clothing, so not seasonally, not monthly,

204
00:11:12,894 --> 00:11:16,414
Speaker 2: not weekly, but daily, And yes, absolutely, it sure has.

205
00:11:16,494 --> 00:11:19,174
Speaker 2: But I think you know, there's a cost of living crisis.

206
00:11:19,214 --> 00:11:22,214
Speaker 2: Buying affordable clothing is completely understandable. For me, It's only

207
00:11:22,254 --> 00:11:24,254
Speaker 2: fast fashion in my eyes if I wear it once

208
00:11:24,494 --> 00:11:27,214
Speaker 2: and throw it out or move it on, or if

209
00:11:27,254 --> 00:11:30,534
Speaker 2: I don't wear it, it's cheap quality if it falls apart.

210
00:11:30,574 --> 00:11:32,374
Speaker 2: But I've got a lot of what I would call

211
00:11:32,454 --> 00:11:35,934
Speaker 2: fast fashion brand items Blazers pants that I've had for

212
00:11:36,014 --> 00:11:37,614
Speaker 2: years and years and years and wear a lot, and

213
00:11:37,654 --> 00:11:39,454
Speaker 2: so I'm still getting a lot of wear out of them.

214
00:11:39,534 --> 00:11:42,174
Speaker 2: But yes, these brands have seen our hunger for wearing

215
00:11:42,254 --> 00:11:45,054
Speaker 2: something new on Instagram every five minutes and have answered that,

216
00:11:45,174 --> 00:11:48,254
Speaker 2: and then as a result, the general public feels like

217
00:11:48,294 --> 00:11:50,614
Speaker 2: they need new things all the time, which they absolutely don't,

218
00:11:50,654 --> 00:11:53,654
Speaker 2: so it's out to individual consumption. But yes, it has

219
00:11:53,694 --> 00:11:55,174
Speaker 2: definitely sped up this whole process.

220
00:11:55,974 --> 00:11:58,974
Speaker 1: Is there anything that has yet to come back into

221
00:11:59,014 --> 00:12:02,094
Speaker 1: fashion that is kind of lingering back in the early

222
00:12:02,174 --> 00:12:04,734
Speaker 1: nineties two thousands where we seem to be hanging right now.

223
00:12:05,054 --> 00:12:08,254
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen everything from jelly sandals to slouch

224
00:12:08,334 --> 00:12:12,614
Speaker 1: sogs to fly clips, Like everything from my teenage years

225
00:12:12,694 --> 00:12:15,214
Speaker 1: is now back in stores. But is there anything we're missing,

226
00:12:15,214 --> 00:12:16,574
Speaker 1: what is not making a comeback?

227
00:12:16,974 --> 00:12:19,974
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I shudder to think. Sgp's in love with

228
00:12:20,014 --> 00:12:21,894
Speaker 2: those sort of clog sand or s Do you remember,

229
00:12:21,894 --> 00:12:25,334
Speaker 2: they're like matter They wear a timber base soul and

230
00:12:25,494 --> 00:12:27,374
Speaker 2: if you bumped your ankle on the other one, you

231
00:12:27,454 --> 00:12:29,734
Speaker 2: kind of broke your leg and it was so clompy

232
00:12:29,734 --> 00:12:31,974
Speaker 2: and so noisy and so hard to grip onto. So

233
00:12:32,054 --> 00:12:34,534
Speaker 2: they're back. No, I think pretty much everything old is

234
00:12:34,574 --> 00:12:36,414
Speaker 2: new again. So if you do have some pieces that

235
00:12:36,454 --> 00:12:38,134
Speaker 2: you think you're not gonna wear right now, and you

236
00:12:38,254 --> 00:12:40,694
Speaker 2: have nieces and nephews or daughters or whatever it may be,

237
00:12:40,814 --> 00:12:42,854
Speaker 2: or you just want to revisit them later and you

238
00:12:42,854 --> 00:12:45,694
Speaker 2: have the storage, keep them because everything will come back.

239
00:12:46,174 --> 00:12:48,854
Speaker 1: I literally just dug my additor side snap trackies out

240
00:12:48,854 --> 00:12:52,334
Speaker 1: of the archive at my parents' house aka box underneath

241
00:12:52,374 --> 00:12:55,334
Speaker 1: the house floorboards, and they are back in rotation, so

242
00:12:56,174 --> 00:12:56,854
Speaker 1: it can happen.

243
00:12:57,094 --> 00:12:59,614
Speaker 2: It can happen exactly. And I might just say that

244
00:12:59,614 --> 00:13:01,614
Speaker 2: that's a really good point, is that thrifting. The younger

245
00:13:01,654 --> 00:13:03,694
Speaker 2: generation are loving thrifting at the moment, and I can't

246
00:13:03,734 --> 00:13:06,374
Speaker 2: recommend it more. Go to your local Vinnies, go to

247
00:13:06,414 --> 00:13:08,774
Speaker 2: your local Red Cross shop because that's oftentimes where you'll

248
00:13:08,774 --> 00:13:12,134
Speaker 2: find these people, says or you will find fast fashion

249
00:13:12,134 --> 00:13:14,014
Speaker 2: there that has been donated that you might pick up

250
00:13:14,014 --> 00:13:16,574
Speaker 2: for even cheaper and give it a second life. So

251
00:13:16,774 --> 00:13:19,854
Speaker 2: if you're not too sure about these trends returning, go thrifting.

252
00:13:23,614 --> 00:13:25,614
Speaker 1: If all this feels all a bit too much and

253
00:13:25,654 --> 00:13:28,294
Speaker 1: you'd rather go back to the good old twenty year cycle,

254
00:13:28,734 --> 00:13:31,014
Speaker 1: maybe you need to join the No New Clothes movement.

255
00:13:31,374 --> 00:13:33,814
Speaker 1: It's a yearly challenge that dares consumers to put the

256
00:13:33,854 --> 00:13:36,854
Speaker 1: wallet away and focus on the values you want to

257
00:13:36,894 --> 00:13:39,894
Speaker 1: wear rather than the fashion. It's an attempt to combat

258
00:13:39,934 --> 00:13:42,934
Speaker 1: over consumption and change the impacts of fast fashion on

259
00:13:42,974 --> 00:13:45,974
Speaker 1: our planet. By buying no new clothes for ninety days,

260
00:13:46,494 --> 00:13:50,014
Speaker 1: they claim you personally will save three nine hundred liters

261
00:13:50,054 --> 00:13:52,534
Speaker 1: of blue water, three hundred and seven kilos of CO,

262
00:13:52,814 --> 00:13:56,214
Speaker 1: two nine kilos of waste, and more than four hundred dollars.

263
00:13:57,134 --> 00:14:00,414
Speaker 1: Until then, enjoy your barrel jeans, slouch socks, and side

264
00:14:00,454 --> 00:14:03,574
Speaker 1: snap trackies, or whatever will be in fashion and out

265
00:14:03,734 --> 00:14:09,454
Speaker 1: by the time this episode goes to wear. The Quickie

266
