Honestly. I've decided I am no longer spending natural fiber money on plastic clothes. Your 200 dollar sweater is acrylic poly blend? No. Not happening. You can make arguments for fast fashion like Shein and Forever 21 being accessible because of the low price point, and the quality you get is generally reflected in the price. But you're selling plastic "elevated basics" and pajamas for hundreds of dollars? Absolutely not. Also isn't it dangerous to wear polyester pajamas? In the event of a fire you could be severely burned and the clothes would simply melt onto your skin. Seems dubious.

Seeing Djerf's style described as "clean Scandinavian" is funny to me as someone living in Sweden. Yes, a lot of people dress in incredibly basic neutral tones.(mostly seen in big metropolitan areas), but it is weird seeing it as an "aesthetic" for me though (I understand it is, however). A crowd of Stockholmers is a sea of boring black quilted jackets and beige trench coats because people are terrified of standing out in a crowd. It is all born from a culture of social conformity.

6:55 "It lists the fabric as Turkey"
Ah, yes, my favorite clothing fiber to wear on my skin. Turkey.

Something like this happened in the paper crafting community. Someone created a stamping platform, basically a mini printing press to help with rubber stamps being correctly placed on your paper. It was $100. So bloggers came up with a dupe (an empty CD case or a piece of plexiglass and a wooden board, etc). Just cheap alternatives that other crafters could DIY to get the same effect. NO ONE was selling said dupes. But what did the business owner do? They sent legal threats to the bloggers who shared DIY pictures on their own blogs. Some didn't even mention the official product they were duping so it wasnt' slander or infringement. While other things shook out, I still, 10 or 15 years later, will never buy this official product or own it if it were given to me for free, because of the owner's behaviour against private citizens just trying to help other crafters for 0 monetary gain.

making dupes is viewed as a negative thing but there is actually a good reason for it to be legal. like imagine if burberry patented the beige trench and chanel patented the black cocktail dress and so on. there'd be only a few styles left that are affordable for ppl with lower income and wearing those would immediately signal your class to everyone around you. it would recreate feudal class dynamics and would be a huge violation of the human right to adequate clothing.

You are correct. Fashion designs and their patterns cannot be copyrighted or patented. I had a teacher in Fashion Design college tell me straight up âIf itâs any good, your stuff will be copiedâ. âKnocking offâ a pattern is quite literally a lesson in your patternmaking class. You can hand me any garment and I could replicate the exact fit of it so well that if we had the same fabric, I could cut and sew it in a way that you would never know which one was store bought. Thatâs the skill set they teach you in a good Fashion Design program. They sell you with a fashion illustration demo where a teacher scribbles a beautiful stick figure wearing ballerina pointe shoes and you think youâre gonna spend all your time water coloring ballgowns in a French cafe. You are learning technical drawing and sewing at a level they only do in factories.

It's so strange, when I was in a fashion program they described exactly what's happening here in a positive light. High fashion is not attainable for most people so the style "trickles down". There's a reason you can buy a $20 purse accessory at high end stores, it's because that customer is important too. A successful brand sells clothes, a super successful brand will have dupes.

No but brands like this make me so mad. A few years ago people started realizing they should buy fewer, higher quality clothes to be more sustainable and ethical - and what happens? BS influencer brands decide to target peoples goodwill by producing shitty polyester clothing made cheap, sold expensive, giving people the idea its in any way high quality. I wish people were more educated about WHAT high quality good clothing is!!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Djerf/Mathilda and her family bullying another influencer for "copying" one of her shirt designs which again is copied from another designer, nothing original about a white shirt. Mathilda taking advantege of disabled models and this whole "inclusivity" yet not paying the models..greenwashing, horrible quality, ghosting and taking advantage of fans who own small businesses, etc. Her gullible fans purchasing the clothes thinking they're a part of her angel community, lol.
