We're back from a short break and a very long fashion month to discuss fast fashion and its influence on the trend cycles. We get into how Zara abandoning the traditional fashion production cycle turned into rapid micro trend cycles, marginalized communities that benefit from fast fashion, NYFW collections being chuegy, and how buying designer clothing for clout is just as dangerous as buying fast fashion.

On this week's episode the team is back to take the notorious fast fashion behemoth, Shein, to court. We get into the business profile of the company, the evolution of its manufacturing model, and the controversial moves they've made en route to becoming the number one downloaded shopping app. Finally we take a look at US trademark law, discussing its lack of protections for fashion designers, allowing Shein free reign to prey on the works of small businesses.

On today's episode, we talk Donda part two and the billionaire in town, Mizz Rihanna Robin Fenty.

Which leads to our topic of the day, luxury. We cover how e-commerce and social media as devalued the term, dupe bag shoppers, and the importance of having style over items. Tone also as a moment of self-realization when it comes to wardrobe building and we crack the code to non-binary clothing. This episode is extremely unhinged so strap in!
