Trending on YouTube: Sustainable Fashion, Living and Clean Beauty
Monday, April 22, 2019
In celebration of Earth Day, we’re spotlighting some of the many creators who help the planet shine a little brighter every day. Here are six who are leading the trends around sustainable fashion, living and clean beauty today.
Sustainable Fashion
Many people are beginning to take a closer look at what they’re wearing these days - not just to make sure that their look is on trend but to examine its potential impact on the environment. Sustainable fashion haul videos have increased by over 1,300% this year!
As shoppers are looking to fill their closets in different ways, they’re turning to YouTubers to help figure out how.
Justine Leconte
is a French fashion designer who’s become a leading voice in the growing trend of sustainable fashion. Her channel gives viewers tips on
how to shop
for sustainable fashion and
how to build a sustainable wardrobe
on a budget. Justine has over 500,000 subscribers, 40% of whom subscribed just last year.
Since 2018, we’ve seen a 13x view increase on sustainable haul videos, and creators are uploading these types of videos 190% more every year. In a vintage twist, UCLA film student Ashley has found an audience of more than one million subscribers with a thrifting-focused channel called
Bestdressed
.
Fun fact: She currently has the most-viewed
“sustainable haul” video
.
Sustainable Lifestyles
Sustainable culture isn’t just about looking good; it’s also about living thoughtfully in all facets of life. From minimalists to tiny homes, van living to the zero waste community, sustainable lifestyles are on the rise at YouTube. Views for videos that provide tips for living a more eco-friendly lifestyle doubled in 2018 compared to 2017.
One of the creators driving this trend is Canadian Candace Hutchings and her channel the
Edgy Veg
. Now with over 300K subscribers, she’s introduced to her audience a revolutionary new way to approach vegetarian and vegan cuisine, as well as shown the benefits of zero-waste living.
Fun fact: Her
video with 20 tips on how to reduce waste
is the most-watched video about sustainable living last year.
Meanwhile, Austin-based creator Shelby is a self-described eco-realist who uses her channel
Shelbizleee
to showcase “zero-waste swaps.” She gives helpful everyday tips on how to replace our most commonly used items with sustainable options to lead a less wasteful lifestyle.
And other channels on YouTube (#Vanlife and #TinyHome) go even bigger than daily zero-waste tips to a complete overhaul of how we think about our homes.
Over 400K subscribers follow the adventures of
Jinti Fell
as the Australian family travels across the world in a van. The channel exemplifies the tiny home/van life ethos, a movement dedicated to reducing one’s footprint economically and materially to the bare minimum one needs to live.
Clean Beauty
Beauty creators and viewers are also looking to cleaner and healthier alternatives for their go-to beauty products. There's a lot to unpack given there's no global standard: the EU has banned 1,328 chemicals from cosmetics, but in the U.S., it’s only 11. Still, last October we saw a 7x increase in monthly views of videos with Clean Beauty in the title.
One creator in this space to watch is
Allana Davison
, a beauty and lifestyle vlogger with over half a million subscribers. She’s dedicated videos on how to do a full face using purely 100% clean beauty products.
Allana and all the other YouTubers forging ahead in sustainability have not only found a way to minimize their own environmental impact, but they've also inspired others to do the same. Mother and entrepreneur
Krystn Keller
was already a fan of clean beauty when grappling with how to help her son Elliot, who suffered from severe eczema over his entire body. His skin condition was debilitating to the point where he missed developmental milestones. Determined to find a solution, she began watching soap-making tutorials on YouTube (i.e.
The Soap Queen
) and learned how to make her own soap. After several months of trial and error, she found the perfect formula that not only helped her son, but also inspired her to create her own business,
Keller Works
. She now sells clean soap products in stores across her home state of Alabama and online.
Whether it’s a tiny swap or a big life change, we can look to YouTubers across the world to motivate us, teach us, and guide us on our way to a more sustainable life.

YouTube to live stream Coachella Weekend 2 for the first time ever
Thursday, April 18, 2019
For the first time ever, YouTube will keep the cameras rolling for Coachella Weekend 2 with the exclusive second weekend live stream of the festival! After a record-breaking Weekend 1 live stream earning over 82 million live views
—
an increase of over 90% compared to views in 2018
—
Weekend 2 will feature “Coachella Curated,” a new curated live stream of performances sponsored by Pantene & CALVIN KLEIN in the U.S., and Garnier and Coca-Cola in Canada. YouTube is making sure no one misses out on the action, bringing all of the “can’t miss” moments from the desert to music fans all over the world through the immersive live stream available to fans wherever they are.
First-Ever Weekend 2 Coachella Curated and Yuma Tent Live Streams (April 19-21)
Coachella Curated, hosted by Jason Bentley from KCRW, along with special guests, and available to live stream on
Coachella’s YouTube Channel
on any screen (desktop, mobile and living room) and within the
YouTube Music app
, will take a deep dive into the festival experience and deliver fans a slate of original content. Weekend 2’s curated live stream features select songs and performances from both weekends, artist interviews and commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more.
Coachella Curated trains its sights on artists from across the line-up and captures them both onstage and at home — spanning the globe to share stories from the homes of performers like Billie Eilish, Cola Boyy, Idris Elba, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Calypso Rose, Bob Moses, Mr Eazi, and Nina Kraviz. These traveling tales, filmed on six continents with festival founder Paul Tollett, offer a unique look at the international energy that comes together on the Empire Polo Grounds before beaming back out via YouTube.
Confirmed artists appearing in the Coachella Curated live stream display the diversity of talent taking the stage in Indio, from emerging artists Little Simz and Cola Boyy to headliner performers. The multi-genre musical menu also offers chart-toppers, such as Bad Bunny, Jaden Smith, Tame Impala, Billie Eilish, and SOFI TUKKER; festival favorites Bob Moses, Mac DeMarco and RÜFÜS DU SOL; and DJ heroes Dillon Francis, and Nina Kraviz. American acts Maggie Rogers, Khruangbin and Tierra Whack add female-fronted flavors of rock, pop, hip-hop and R&B, while international acts BLACKPINK, Los Tucanes De Tijuana, Calypso Rose, Christine and the Queens, Mr Eazi and Burna Boy showcase the borderless taste and boundary-less sounds of Coachella 2019.
Weekend 2 will also tap into the energy of the Yuma Tent, Coachella’s deep desert disco, broadcasting, for the first time, full DJ sets on a second dedicated
channel
. The Yuma stream will feature sets by Idris Elba, Guy Gerber, Nicole Moudaber, Deep Dish, Nocturnal Sunshine, and more.
Tune in April 19 - 21 starting at 5 p.m. PDT for an all-new Coachella streaming experience on
Coachella’s YouTube Channel
on any screen (desktop, mobile and living room) and within the
YouTube Music app
