Have you noticed that new clothes just aren't as good as they used to be? From low quality synthetic fabrics to zippers that are a problem from the very first wear to lack of detail and poor fit...new clothes are kinda garbage these days. The low quality and short lifespan of this clothing is creating an environmental and ethical crisis for the planet and its people. Learn about the “fast fashion-ification” of the fashion industry, with companies buying stuff faster and faster, products becoming cheaper and cheaper, and quality/fit becoming worse and worse, year after year. Led by Amanda McCarty, a fashion industry veteran and host of the popular Clotheshorse podcast.
