I buy new shoes every year because they are dead in one autumn/winter (take the water).
But I discovered that some people managed to keep shoes 3 years, 5 years, 10 years , even 40 years with the best quality ! And that's common in fact...
I don't care about mode but every year I have to buy new clothes, for example I buyed a sweat last year or before, but the pockets are already in ridiculous shapes because I've used it too often.

1. You can make a pledge to do smt = to promise publicly to do smt.
2. Smt is outsourced. ( smt is given to another company to do)
3. One company undercuts another (that company charges less to do a job than its competitor).
4. Stem from = come from= caused by = a result of.
5. A backlash = A negative reaction to smt what happens.
eg: A backlash against feminism.

there are plenty of fashion victims one of them I know him personally, he gathers the clothes in piles, and he must clean them even though they didn't get dirty, and when he goes to University he must wear a different suit everyday and use those perfumery he has (like he is going to a wedding).
I think he is the most fashion victim I've ever seen in my whole life

Such an interesting topic ! I've seen lots of fashion victims around me, not me . My siblings used to buy a lot of clothes, but just wear 2 or 3 times then discard them. It's money-wasting. We can give these clothes away to those who need, like the poor,etc.

I've bought fewer clothes than before because I don't need too many clothes in my everyday life. I'm glad to do that since the less we consume, the less pollution environment will get, save my money as well.

The fashion journalist flow is very fast
I dont have have instagram and I m not keen on social media but I m a fashion victim. No way would I pledge to stop buying clothes. It s my weakness.

BBC why dont you make a video about 10,000 of the most popular English words? Make a series by highlighting each word with a separate video with examples, lively and interesting.
