Fast Fashion: How The Hell Do We Actually Slow It Down?


Listen Later

Fast fashion is very alluring. It’s cheap, accessible and appears to come in endless designs, sizes and colours. We’re looking at you Shein, Temu, Zara, H&M, ASOS and the like. 

However, the cost to the environment, people, and animals is catastrophic.

It dries up water sources and pollutes rivers and streams given 85% of all textiles go to dumps each year. Australia is now the second highest consumer of textiles per person in the world, after the USA. 

In this episode, one Antoinette makes a damning confession about her relationship with fast fashion.

The Antoinettes explore the levers currently available to slow down fast fashion -- including a world first ‘fast fashion’ tax in France -- and whether it's enough.
