Welcome to the Dark History podcast.  I feel like there is a new trend every two days. And I do not know how to keep up. And by the time I figure it out, I’m already like four trends behind. But I just don’t know how people are buying these trends so quickly. How are people staying on top of all these new clothes we need every week? And  turns out the answer is a little thing known as “fast fashion”. In today’s episode we get into fast fashion. It’s  been around for longer than you think and it’s impact and damage is even more than you think. Sorry babe, but you’re gonna take a real hard look at your closet after this one.
