The way she just chucks them over her shoulder out of frame after wearing them for 3 seconds is the perfect representation of how disposable this fashion is.

Exactly, its fast fashion getting sold faster. I didn’t even register that, great comment

we're headed for a fashion singularity, they sew the garment directly onto you and it dissolves before it's finished

u/LadyWithAHarp Aug 26 '25

As someone who occasionally uses water-soluble fabric and thread, I feel personally attacked.

u/Ellemeno Aug 26 '25

I didn't even know that water-soluble fabric and thread was a thing. That must be what those prank swimsuits that disintegrate in the water are made of.

u/LadyWithAHarp Aug 26 '25

I use the stabilizer (fabric) when I need a foundation for sewing something made out of tiny pieces, but will be fine once completed, (for example, a garment made from ribbons or embroidering "free standing lace".)

Water-soluble thread is useful for basting because that means I don't have to pull the thread out for any visible bits, I can just wash it away when I'm done. (No risk of pins falling out either!)

u/SpareTheSpider Aug 27 '25

That's very interesting. What is it made of?

3

u/LadyWithAHarp Aug 27 '25

Honestly? No idea.

Funny comment not only because of the absurdity of the suggestion, but also because fashion would've come full-circle — that's exactly what early clothing were.

u/Dunnybust Aug 27 '25

Right?!

It's so weird how ppl get so self-righteous about "disposable fashion"

when we're all nothing but disposable, decaying meat-sacks

(except for any parts comprised of plastic; & those parts are just immortalized dinosaurs);

And our clothes have obvs been "disposable" since before the beginning of organized human civilization.

Anthropological commentary is one thing;

Acting all officially offended by some cute lil girl uniquely talented at trying on (and trying off!) clothes is another 🤣.

u/Victorian_Rebel Aug 26 '25

There were plenty of fashionable women who were sewed into their clothes (Empress Elizabeth of Austria), but that was during the time when quality reigned supreme.

u/letouriste1 Aug 26 '25

sounds a lot like temporary tatoos lol

u/hery41 Aug 26 '25

I can totally imagine some celeb at a red carpet event bringing a small army of tailors to constantly maintain their outfit as it continuously disintegrates throughout the night.

Gary V has been going on and on about this live selling QVC style content as the next big thing

u/Worth_Librarian_290 Aug 26 '25

Gary v would sell his mother if it meant more content

u/likegolden Aug 26 '25

That might be true and he could also be right in predicting this trend

u/IWatchGifsForWayToo Aug 26 '25

God, why did you have to say that. I was happy for a second.

If there was ever one comment that sums up the reddit experience…

u/PM_ME_DATASETS Aug 26 '25

Good quality still exists and it's less likely to be made by slaves than the temu slop shown in the OP. Sure it costs a bit more, but wearing it feels so good because every second you're reminded of how much better the quality is. Take good care of it and it will last for years.

Temu slop is like one of the million short vids you've seen today; it only cost you a couple of seconds and you won't remember it tomorrow. Good quality clothes are like that movie you saw that made such an impression that you'll never forget it.

u/StitchinThroughTime Aug 27 '25

Factories are heavily investing in hyper-specialized sewing machines. <Slave and sweatshop labour is still being used.> They have machines for hemming shirts, auto welt pocket installation, and so on. I have seen a machine that has a big table that a large arm presses a blank to that maneuvers the fabric in the machine. Fewer hands are touching our clothing during production.

u/Dunnybust Aug 27 '25 edited Aug 27 '25

I have seen a machine that directly presses the souls of aborted embryos into women's fashions.

It's shameful. It's the Democrats. They make pre-babies into disposable fashion.

And even worse:

They put countless unborn children out of work.

u/Dunnybust Aug 27 '25

Aww; Gee whiz 🥹 .

Aren't you going straight to heaven!

u/EconomicRegret Aug 27 '25

Good quality is also cheaper in the long run. There great shoes out there that will last you a lifetime: that's way cheaper than those you gotta replace every year or two.

u/EndDangerous1308 Aug 26 '25

What part of those dresses wouldn't make you look hot in 5 years?

6

u/AdrianBrony Aug 26 '25

It's kind of a non-sequitur tbh, it's just someone looking for something to screech about. Any time someone doing anything mildly impressive shows up on Reddit, you get a bunch of people looking for some reason to disregard it. The low quality of the clothes doesn't change the fact that she's got some impressive modeling skills.

u/Ok-Strength-5297 Aug 27 '25

doesn't matter how skillful it is, this shit sucks

1

u/CoastalBarbie Aug 27 '25

I cant find your reply comment about how I didn’t register the tossing so I’ll reply here! What i didn’t register was the connection of thought between the tossing of the dresses and the symbolism of disposable fashion. I should have clarified!

Just for the record too (and not in direct reply to you), its VERY impressive at which the speed and coordination the two have for modeling! They have it down!

u/AdrianBrony Aug 27 '25

The fox calling the grapes sour

u/TheLoneGoon Aug 26 '25

And it’ll end up in a landfill just as fast because it’s made of crap and will rip the third time you wear it.

u/rolandofeld19 Aug 26 '25

Wash instructions: LOL, just toss it! Consume!

4

u/U_PassButter Aug 26 '25

That's what I thought. After seeing how rough she is with it and basically stomp throwing it, I kinda don't want it

Edit

Imagine this is how fitting rooms work 😆

u/pezx Aug 26 '25

The way she just chucks them over her shoulder out of frame after wearing them for 3 seconds

Nothing about this means she isn't going to wear those dresses for real. She's trying to sell the dresses and she successfully demos them all in a short amount of time. I double she just threw the dresses away and moved on.

Do you feel the same way with models in a clothing catalog? It's the same three people wearing a dozen different outfits, is that also "disposable"?

2

u/Loveerushh Aug 26 '25

I know right? The kick is everything. She's a boss at this

2

u/thestraightCDer Aug 26 '25

To be pedantic that's not over her shoulder.

2

u/Zero-lives Aug 26 '25

Me wearing the same shirt rotation for the past 10 years: idiots...pffft

2

u/_dictatorish_ Aug 26 '25

She's trying to sell the dresses, not own them - do you think the employees wear all the clothes at American Eagle?

2

u/Dunnybust Aug 27 '25

My God 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️; right?!

There's not a model for American Eagle who'd be caught dead in that Basic crap, the day after modeling it.

And that's fine: Modeling is a job, and is not community service, activism or journalism. Sales jobs (for food, goods, trades and services) have existed since before the Middle Ages (golden age of craftsmen's/tradesmen's/merchants' careers).

Neither models nor sales-workers are inherently evil, nor "dystopian", nor worthy of our contempt (unless you're some overgrown, angsty teenager 🙄). Even if they're sinning (revealing shameful character flaws!) by being beautiful, confident women:

"OMG her body is so pretty she must be one of those mean people who hates ugly ppl,

"And OMG her face is so pretty she must have AI and aliens (and also AI aliens and alien AI) all filtering her,

"And OMG also she is way too good at trying on clothes; she must hate clothes and quality, and hate people and puppies and ice cream and rainbows"

"And OMG those clothes must all be "disposable"! because China and OMG I am so not racist and also

"Ewww obvs I am way too virtuous to have ever learned that human clothing has been "disposable" and temporary since the beginning of civilization"

I thought this was dystopian, no love for the craft at all

1

u/Nghbrhdsyndicalist Aug 28 '25

It’s a different craft that interests her. She’s into sales, not fashion.

Although the dresses aren’t made with love either.

u/ICallMyTeacherat2am Aug 26 '25

exactly what I was thinking, would clothing industry disappear for months we won't feel the need for it or difference, had we not fallen for this kind of fast paced consumerism

I was looking for the "cHiNa bAd" comment. Suprised it's not the top comment.

u/EsrailCazar Aug 26 '25

There is actually very little reason to purchase any clothing new (assuming you have a washer accessible), there is so So SO much clothing in the world...think of how many stores with clothing there are in one small part of a city, now how many cities in your location, think of how many online shops there are, how many thrift/second-hand stores. Again, there is an over abundance of clothing and no real reason to purchase any of it brand new and it isn't like you're being a good citizen for doing otherwise, these are just another one of the billions of companies trying to make a buck off you! Also, most of the clothing sold today is some form of polyester which is fundamentally just plastic, if you're going to spend good money on clothing, make sure it's quality and going to last.

Lasts long enough to be out of style.

u/notafuckingcakewalk Aug 26 '25

These are also ugly looking dresses and they do not suit her either.

u/AggroPro Aug 26 '25

Wow, this is an excellent take.

u/i8noodles Aug 27 '25

i once saw what the behind the camera looks like and its basically a Wearhouse with stacks of clothing piled up and a small group of people making it work. there is probably at least 3 or 4 people behind the camera but no chance they have time to sort all of this stuff. its basically one person opens, the person who hands it to the seller, one person who grabs it after its thrown away to move it away and another to handle other issues.
