Hi, I'm Isabel, I'm the associate video producer

for harpersbazaar.com by day

and by night I run a YouTube channel

all about sustainable living.

So, my style basically consists

of vintage pieces and vintage inspired styles.

So, I really love classic silhouettes,

timeless pieces that kind of stand the test of time.

So, about two years ago

I woke up one day and I decided

that I was going to rid my life of plastic.

And for two years I have been

successfully zero waste.

Back in college when I originally started

this zero waste journey of mine,

I was trying to find different

affordable ways for me to dip my toes

into sustainable fashion,

so I started thrifting a lot

and as much as people say that

LA thifting is amazing, New York vintage

is definitely up there.

My shoes are vintage Steve Madden

and I got them from my absolute favorite

curated vintage store in New York City.

It's called The Break Vintage,

and they are a delicious dark brown leather color.

They have a square toe, and a thick, walkable heel.

They're the classic shoe you need

to have in your closet.

I got my jeans from Thred Up,

and I love shopping on Thred Up now,

because as a grown adult woman,

I don't really have the time or patience

to go to Goodwill or Salvation Army

and sift through a bunch of horrible

fast fashion stuff, so I go on Thred Up

and I can thrift online that way.

I've been really into this silhouette recently.

I'm kind of over skinny jeans,

and low rise jeans,

so if they ever come back you can count me out.

I got this belt when I was thrifting

in LA, it's just a classic belt

that I constantly throw on.

This sweater is vintage, it's one hundred percent wool,

and extremely warm, so I throw it on

all the time.

These kind of rich, earthy tones

have been my go to for the season.

I just love them right now.

This coat has an extremely special

place in my heart because it is from my mom's

Etsy shop called Vintage Point Store.

And it is full of the most beautiful

curated vintage furniture, home decor, and clothing.

So she got me this coat and I'm completely

obsessed with it.

It's a beautiful cream color,

it is a cashmere and silk blend,

so it is super soft and it keeps me so warm

because it goes all the way below the knee.

So, my love of old used things

is not original to just me.

My parents have been doing this my entire life.

So, my dad actually got me this

amazing vintage Dooney & Bourke briefcase bag.

It's my absolute favorite thing in the entire world.

I only take it out for special occasions.

My dad told me that he found this

in a garage sale for about five dollars

because it was totally dirty,

almost completely black, and he refurbished

the whole thing for me, and it looks

almost brand new.

My rings are super special to me,

I kind of collect them as souvenirs.

Every time I'm in a new town or a new city

I love to go to local thrift stores

or local vintage shops, and pick myself

out a new ring for my collection.

So I love filling all my fingers

with special little rings like that.

These earrings are also from my mom's Etsy shop.

I think they add a really beautiful

pop of color to match with my bag

and this outfit as everything else

is super neutral and kind of toned down,

they also have that vintage look that I love.

It's the perfect amount of grandma inspiration

I like to take with me everyday.

So I think sustainable fashion

is extremely important regarding environmentalism

and climate change and all that stuff

because it's one of the major polluters

on this world.

So I think being mindful with purchases,

not buying things you don't need,

and trying to buy pieces that are

already in the waste cycle so ideally second hand

is the best thing you can do.

Aside from the environmental aspect of it,

I think it's really important to recognize

the ethical factor to it too.

Lots of people forget that there are still

real people, primarily women, which I think

is an important distinction to make,

actually physically making your clothing

in horrible working conditions.

So, trying to be mindful about supporting

companies that align with your values

and also buying vintage is the best way

for you to cultivate a more sustainable wardrobe.

And now, can you guess how much this look costs?

Hi, my name is Jenny, I run a YouTube channel

based around sustainability, lifestyle, fashion, etc.

I would definitely describe my style

as kind of just the comfortability of my pieces.

I like to buy classic pieces that are

super comfortable to wear and then

I'll mix in little fun pieces here and there

that are usually second hand.

So, when I moved to New York for fashion school,

I just really realized that most of the industry

I didn't feel I aligned with, which is when

I really started to delve into sustainable fashion.

This was about three and a half years ago.

Since then I decided to completely

cut off any of my fast fashion purchases

and also just take a look at my overall

general consumption, and that's when I realized

that there was so much that I didn't need to buy.

And being able to choose where you buy from

is definitely a privilege, but I think we can all

kind of reflect on our own choices,

and see in ways that we can improve,

even if they're small improvements.

It's still better than doing nothing

and there is kind of a responsibility

on consumers and also holding corporations accountable

which I think is really important to realize,

and if you're able to make different choices

I highly encourage it.

My shoes are probably my favorite piece that I'm wearing.

I recently got them in a thrift store in Norway.

As I was walking on the rest of the trip

the heels started to fall off,

so I ran into what I thought was an office store

and found some glue really quickly,

glued them back on, and they've been perfect

ever since.

So, for my pants this is probably the tightest

pair of jeans that I own.

I was looking for a dark navy blue pair

with kind of contrasting lining

and I found these on the RealReal

for one sixth of the price of what they retail

from the brand Creatures of Comfort,

so that was a really good steal,

and I love them so much.

My belt is probably my most worn clothing item,

I wear it almost every single day,

and I thrifted it back home in Colorado

about four years ago.

My little ribbed tee shirt I have underneath here

is from the brand Vysingia which I got off

of Lee Collective, which is a really cool website

that has a curation of ethical and sustainable brands

and it'll tell you what every piece

is made from, and if it's made under conditions

such as women in power, things like that,

which I think is really cool.

My cardigan underneath here is really special

as well, I just got this in Copenhagen

and it's very soft, non itchy cashmere which is ideal.

And then for my liner I've had this for

about three years, I got it on Ebay for about 15 dollars.

It's a vintage military liner.

My turquoise rings are my favorite.

One is my grandma's, and the other one

was recently given to me by my sister,

she lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for Christmas

so I love them both.

My necklace is from Garbage, NYC

which is one of my friend's brands.

It's using recycled metals

which I think is really cool

and it's a cowboy hat, so it kind of reminds me of home.

My earrings, I was drooling over these earrings

for months, and they are by the designer

Luini, she is a Puerto Rican designer

and the materials are also recycled metals

which I think is really cool,

but I just feel like every day

needs a little bit of sunshine, maybe,

and they just make me feel really special

when I wear them.

Like I said, I love to add just some

fun little accessories.

These barrettes are one of my favorite finds,

they're little fish, so it's like

they're swimming in your hair,

which I think is kind of fun,

and I got them off of Depop.

My bag is also from Lee Collective,

which they sell vintage as well,

I love this bag it's the perfect size

because it fits all the way around

my shoulder so I can wear it day to night,

which is perfect.

And my water bottle is absolutely

my most important accessory.

I never leave the house without it.

And I recently put some fun Abba stickers on it,

so now I love it even more.

My biggest tip on lessening your consumption

is truly no matter where you're shopping from

is buy less and use it for longer.

We can't really buy ourselves into sustainability,

but we can not use as much, which I think

is the most important mindset

that you'll have to switch.

I started with thrifting personally.

It allowed me to continue shopping

because I do love fashion,

and that was kind of my gateway into this world

and a lot less money than even shopping

at fast fashion retailers.

Sustainability has definitely rolled over

into the rest of my life, in so many different ways,

I just feel like all around I feel

I'm more conscious of what my impact is

as an individual.

And now can you guess how much this look costs?

- Hello, everyone, I'm Jasmine Rose

and by day I'm a video editor

and by night I am a content creator.

So I would say my personal style

is comfortable, casual, and I love to wear

basic pieces and mix them in with really cool, fun pieces

just to tie the whole look together.

So, my shoes are from Converse,

and they were actually a gift from my husband.

Because he knows I like to wear

really comfortable sneakers, so thanks Hubby.

All right, so my jeans I actually got

from the thrift store, and it's actually

from Everlane, which is a really good brand,

they have some awesome jeans,

and I love black jeans, so when I saw them

I like grabbed 'em quick fast.

So I would say thrifting comprises

like fifty percent of my wardrobe,

a lot of the times, I really try to stay away

from fast fashion, so thrifting is really
