In this episode, we dive into the messy world of dupe culture in fashion—how it influences our shopping habits, tugs at our emotions, and puts serious pressure on indie designers. We’re sharing our own dupe experiences, unpacking why certain fashion pieces mean so much, and taking a hard look at how overconsumption and knock-offs are shaping the industry. From the psychology behind why we crave certain items to the push for affordable fashion and the impact of throwaway culture, it’s a deep, lively conversation on buying with intention and navigating the gray areas of sustainability in fast fashion.CHAPTERS00:00 Exploring Dupe Culture in Fashion09:56 The Emotional Connection to Fashion Choices19:56 The Impact of Dupes on Independent Designers21:05 The Designer's Dilemma: Navigating Dupes and Quality24:10 Rethinking Affordability: Beyond Price Tags26:29 The Throwaway Culture: Dupes and Consumerism30:54 Intention Behind Purchases: Understanding Consumer Behavior34:00 Conclusion: The Nuances of Dupes and SustainabilityBOF article that inspired this conversation: https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/retail/is-dupe-culture-out-of-control/-----------------CONTACT US: [email protected] OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SustainThisPodcast SIGNE HANSENYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UseLess_dkWebsite: https://www.uselesswardrobe.dk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/useless_dk/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@useless_wardrobeCHRISTINA MYCHASYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristinamychasWebsite: https://www.minimalist-ish.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/christina.mychas/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@christina.mychasALYSSA BELTEMPOYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlyssaBeltempoWebsite: https://msbeltempo.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/msbeltempo/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@msbeltempo If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag us!
