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.
