Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.09,0:00:47.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm saying fashion by numbers,\Nnot the numbers,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.17,0:00:49.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I think\Nis more grammatically correct.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.26,0:00:51.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm going to talk to you about\Nfashion by numbers,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.46,0:00:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I love fashion\Nand I love style,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.36,0:00:59.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think there's lots\Nof really absorbing things

Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.62,0:01:07.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there are also some issues,\Nwhich we will get to in a minute,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.44,0:01:14.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think some of the numbers are just\Ngigantic and they're quite illuminating.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.09,0:01:18.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first statistic,\Nwhen I was doing a lot of research
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.91,0:01:23.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the contemporary fashion industry,\Nwas one that I had to estimate
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.80,0:01:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by putting together\Nlots of different research.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.88,0:01:30.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I figured out that there are\Nabout 80 billion new garments

Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.58,0:01:47.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's an estimated number\Nof new garments

Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.90,0:01:53.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the weird thing is\Nthat we still end up

Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.37,0:02:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we're slinging them away\Nalmost as quickly as we can buy them.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.19,0:02:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which points to a certain disposability,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.48,0:02:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,19 is the number of jeans\Nthat I found in my own wardrobe,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.83,0:02:19.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I would recommend to anybody\Nthat you do an inventory of your wardrobe,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.88,0:02:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's\Nreally, really illuminating.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.28,0:02:24.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if you think that\Nyou're not a fashion addict,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.19,0:02:33.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I have 19 pairs of jeans\Nand that's significant
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.51,0:02:35.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because -- not because 19\Nis my lucky number,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.95,0:02:37.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it is, that's not why I bought them --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.84,0:02:42.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't realize I had 19, because I\Njust kept consuming without realizing,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.01,0:02:45.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when I thought about it,\Nthe environmental footprint
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.89,0:02:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of fashion is absolutely enormous.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.26,0:02:53.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, for example, it takes between\N11,000 and 20,000 litres of water
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.29,0:02:57.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to produce enough cotton\Nfor a single pair of jeans.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.62,0:03:01.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I started to look at\Nthe impact of fashion generally.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.22,0:03:04.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, fashion is a full spectrum industry,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.03,0:03:05.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and with the exception\Nof the food industry,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.91,0:03:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and perhaps the energy industry,\Nit's hard to think of any other sector
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.07,0:03:15.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that owes quite as much\Nto the planet as fashion does.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.01,0:03:20.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're all a nation of fashion addicts,\Nthat's how we've become,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.08,0:03:22.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's been enabled really\Nover the last twenty years
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.68,0:03:25.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by a phenomenon known as fast fashion.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.61,0:03:28.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, sometimes,\Nit's quite difficult to imagine
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.77,0:03:31.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how people got dressed 20 years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.96,0:03:35.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before fast fashion really kicked in,\Nbut we know they did,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.46,0:03:38.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but did they all just wear\Nthe same pair of Dralon flares?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.77,0:03:40.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How did they actually manage it?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.31,0:03:43.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because what we've done is\Nwe've developed a whole new system
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.52,0:03:46.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of getting dressed,\Nwhich revolves around
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.23,0:03:51.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very, very quick microtrends\Nthat can very quickly translate
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.89,0:03:55.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the catwalk into our wardrobes\Nand onto the high street.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.98,0:03:59.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the UK is\None of the world leaders in this trend.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.02,0:04:02.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have some of the biggest retailers,\Nsome of the biggest brands,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.23,0:04:05.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it has to be said,\Nthat we interpret fast fashion
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.36,0:04:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quite successfully.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.18,0:04:14.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we think about how fashion\Nactually presents itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.46,0:04:16.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What it doesn't really do, is tell you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.62,0:04:19.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how much it's changed\Nover the last 20 years.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.32,0:04:22.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, there will be people here\Nwho've never known anything else.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.44,0:04:24.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lucky them, because\Nthey're nice and young,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.72,0:04:30.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but, there has been\Na completely revolutionized system

Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.43,0:04:39.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we really don't get this idea\Nfrom the fashion weeks that we have.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.35,0:04:43.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It presents a very traditional face.\NSo, we have the two seasons,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.21,0:04:46.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have autumn/winter\Nand spring/summer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.26,0:04:51.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then these are when we trickle\Nthings down from the catwalk into store,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.71,0:04:54.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they set the trend\Nof what we're going to be wearing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.51,0:04:58.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In actual fact, those seasons\Nhave got as much in common
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.18,0:05:00.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the contemporary fashion industry
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.54,0:05:04.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as Gregorian plainsong has with the\Ncontemporary music industry.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.95,0:05:07.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Absolutely nothing to do with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.22,0:05:09.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What really happens\Nis that we're now looking at,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.82,0:05:15.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than two or four seasons a year,\Nwe're really looking at 52 seasons a year.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.54,0:05:19.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every week there are new styles,\Nthere is new stock in shops,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.52,0:05:23.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new stock online, and it's become\Na very, very quick process.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.88,0:05:26.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some people would call it a churn.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.14,0:05:30.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, when I look at the bright young hopes\Nof British fashion,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.03,0:05:32.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we see these brilliant designers\Nhave got something.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.68,0:05:36.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Up here we've got Alice Temperley,\Nwe've got Jonathan Saunders,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.16,0:05:41.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, these are great names,\Ngreat hopes for the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.04,0:05:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we hear about the people
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.06,0:05:46.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who basically succeed\Nto the big luxury conglomerates
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.62,0:05:48.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and take over those brands.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.36,0:05:50.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these are big, big names,\Ngoing out there
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.74,0:05:53.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into this multi-billion pound sector
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.08,0:05:56.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and representing British style.\NBut often I think,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.24,0:05:59.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Will they be OK?'\NBecause, actually, it's not just
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.80,0:06:03.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fast fashion or high street fashion\Nthat's become super fast,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.42,0:06:06.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also the luxury industry.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.37,0:06:10.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the way\Nthat we really, really shop;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.61,0:06:14.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we shop in a mob, we shop in bulk\Nand we buy very cheap.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.96,0:06:17.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, one of the things\NI really like to do
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.08,0:06:20.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to hang around outside shops,\Nmaybe not as crowded as this,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.41,0:06:23.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually go through people's bags,\Nwith their consent,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.61,0:06:27.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as they come out -- I do ask first --\Nand it's amazing
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.78,0:06:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how many people buy in bulk\Nand buy duplicates these days.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.00,0:06:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of my favourite observations,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.44,0:06:37.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,although it does not say\Nparticularly good things,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.21,0:06:41.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that a colleague of mine was watching\Noutside Primark one day,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.81,0:06:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or just kind of loitering nearby,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.91,0:06:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a girl came out\Nwith four of these bags.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.95,0:06:49.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it could have happened\Nin lots of different stores,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.75,0:06:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but Primark use these paper bags,\Nand it was raining,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.32,0:06:55.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was really, really raining,\Nthe bag got completely soaked,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.37,0:06:58.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while she was waiting for a bus,\Nor whatever, and it fell apart.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.72,0:07:01.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And she just left these clothes,\Nthese brand new clothes,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.83,0:07:04.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she just left them on the pavement\Nand walked off.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.70,0:07:09.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, my contention is that if we produce,\Nif we design for landfill,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.29,0:07:12.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we produce clothes that are\Neffectively disposable,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.75,0:07:16.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we will all start to treat them\Nlike litter.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.06,0:07:18.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm not saying that this also\Nhappens for luxury goods,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.91,0:07:21.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I think if you're spending\Na grand on a handbag,
