Littlejohns Yarn | Crochet Fast Fashion? Death Of Small Designers @LittlejohnsYarn | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Crochet is everywhere right now & big-name designers have also picked up on this trend, featuring crochet designs in their collections. Last year, Harry Styles’ rainbow patchwork JW Anderson cardigan, went viral after his appearance on the Today show. In this video, we will discuss crochet manufacturers, fast fashion theft, & modern-day slavery in the fashion industry.
Indie designers — most of whom are black — have been repeatedly calling out the brand for allegedly intentionally selling knockoffs of their designs. They also claim the brand has dismissed them when they’ve reached out, sometimes blocking them on social media altogether.
Black designers often feel frustrated with the lack of support from the media and lack of opportunities in the industry. With their designs being stolen left and right, black designers are not given a chance to grow and create new and innovative designs.
The fast fashion industry uses sweatshops to produce these pieces of clothing. Children & adults are abused all in the effort to make a buck. Make sure you watch this til the end.
