Episode 01: What Does 'Faster Than Fast' Look Like? Breaking Down the SHEIN Supply Chain

In the first episode of the re:wear series, we speak about the evolution of SHEIN, what they were in their past life, and question what makes them so incredibly popular today. Najah Onn, founder of @fashinfidelity, breaks down the complex processes of garment production behind-the-scenes, the history of clothes making, and speaks about how big data facilitates tech companies at commodifying fashion for profit. Najah also shares snippets of how her grandmother inspires her in understanding the value of fashion. This episode is a good one, and you wouldn’t want to miss it!

Factual correction:
SHEIN first launched as a site that sold wedding dresses and were known as SHEINSIDE in 2008, not 2018.
