In this episode Meredith and Sarah discuss the death of fast fashion (Forever21, Zara, H&M) as well as super-fast fashion’s success (Fashion Nova, Boohoo). It Never Gets Old is related to the Slow Fashion movement - at least part of it - slowing down that desire to buy new, new, new. You can buy new - but Slow Fashion is about thinking about what you’re buying, and where it comes from. If it’s second-hand, even better as it’s had a long life before it’s been with you.
