Listen, I'm like the one pound a day guy
0:02
If you give me a hundred pound, I'm like swimming. I'm swimming
0:13
All right. Thank you for coming on this channel. Thank you for having me
0:20
Now, Kim is the expert in fashion. Kim, can you tell us a little bit about what you do
0:25
I am a fashion designer and content creator. So I basically teach people how to sew on the internet
0:31
Sewing patterns, cutting, stitching, sourcing coverage, all that good stuff. She's got great quality videos, guys
0:37
Okay, so today we're delving into the world of sustainable fashion. It means we need to source our clothing from sustainable sources
0:44
ETC, vintage stores, charity shops, places that either reuse, repurpose, recycle clothing
0:51
That's right. And we need to be wearing them, I guess. Yes, at the end, we'll be actually wearing the clothing
0:58
There is a challenge in here. We have 100 pounds to find outfits for ourselves
1:04
And we are actually going to be doing something crazy at the end. Something that I know I would absolutely freak out doing, but I'm down for
1:12
We're going to be asking the public what they think about our outfits in terms of it being wearable
1:17
what looks really good in terms of appearance. And money management. Yeah, yeah, who spends less
1:23
I feel like 100 pounds is pretty good. It's quite generous. I don't know about you
1:27
The last time I shopped men's wear from charity shops, it was a struggle. Yeah
1:31
So I think I'll win this. I'm sorry. May the best man win. Exactly. Old woman
1:53
Right So you think second clothes would be cheap but surprisingly Now I managed to find shoes in there for and trousers for
2:04
That alone is blown through my budget, so I need to keep looking
2:10
Is it impossible or? Not at all. Yeah. What have you got so far? Anything yet
2:14
No, nothing. Alright, so we have a £100 budget to find second hand clothing
2:19
which sounds pretty easy until I started seeing the prices. The two words we want to see, sustainable and vintage
2:28
Yes, please, we're in the right place. Let's look around. The idea of sustainable clothing is really to reduce waste
2:34
because the amount of clothes that we buy and get rid of on a regular basis is unbelievable
2:41
360,000 tons, to be exact, of reusable clothes are dumped in landfill every single year in the UK alone
2:49
What can we do about this? Well, we can shop sustainably. Now that doesn't mean only buying secondhand clothes
2:56
We can be more conscious of where we source our clothing and support eco-friendly businesses
3:01
Now I found some pretty decent outfits, but I thought I'd take a different outlook on this challenge
3:05
So I found a sporty style jacket for £23. Yes, please. It looks pretty good and for the price, it's a steal
3:17
And I found a trouser. It's giving cargo, it's giving baggy, it's giving urban
3:25
So we're going to match both of them and see how we look. So instead of buying new unnecessary clothes, which eventually increases my waste
3:42
I'll be repurposing the ones I already have to fit into the challenge
3:47
I might be cheating a little bit. I been staring at your face for a while boy I digging your style and I love the way you smile yeah
4:09
No one never made me feel this way, boy you take my breath away, and I love it how you sway
4:17
I think you won the challenge. Where is your outfit
4:28
Vintage. It's never been worn before. And I got it for 15 pounds
4:32
And this was my only buy. No, no. No, listen. I'll tell you why
4:38
What is sustainability? Repurpose, recycle, and reuse. Yes. Okay. This is reused
4:46
reused so everything together was 95 pounds yeah because i got earrings necklace the corsets
4:54
the pants the jacket i i wore it when we came this morning okay so your jacket is reused yes
5:01
i feel like i need to give it to you for in terms of who actually stuck to the rules of the challenge
5:07
yes i feel like you definitely won hands down and your outfit looks great it looks amazing thank you
5:12
So now we want to find out what the public think. Oh, God. I'm not even ready for that bit
5:17
No, you got it. You're going to win. OK. Who wore it best
5:31
OK, fair enough. Why? I just like the colours. The colourways are nice
5:36
I'm going to say you. Thank you. It's the Doc Martens, the Chloe Lerke on the bottom
5:42
It just works. It just works. It's okay, Toma. It's fine. Yeah, where I mean, like this combo
5:48
This is different, isn't it? This is coming out on the little bells That what I was going for because everyone expects you to look like this Just like that combo is not obvious Okay so if you were to rate both of us out of 10 what would you give both of us
6:03
Okay, I'm going to give you a 9. Yeah? I'm sorry. I mean, I'll give you a 7
6:08
I'm sorry. Yeah. Say an 8.5. Okay, thank you. I'll take that
6:14
I'm going to say an 8.9. Ay! eight okay and six six six or seven six how dare you come on like i'm supposed to this is like

6:59
clothing in vintage shops most people perceive to be cheaper actually not cheap i know and you
7:05
all you don't need to buy new stuff all the time if you want to build a new outfit you can repurpose
7:09
october has done it works you can also combine things that you know usually don't go together
7:13
like a corset and parachute pants as long as it suits your style and you are
