Days after Shein opened its first location in Paris, France is threatening to ban the Chinese fast-fashion giant.

This year, Clotheshorse all star, Maggie Greene (The Halloween Queen) embarked on an epic international, cross-country adventure that she called The Tragic Optimist Tour.  Along the way, she recorded conversations with the people she visited, eventually turning them into a new podcast called ATTN: Confidential.  And of course, she and Amanda had to record a conversation together…but with a twist: For the first half of the session, she interviewed Amanda. For the second part, Amanda interviewed Maggie.  This week's episode is part 2 of the conversation, where Amanda interviewed Maggie.  You can listen to part 1 here.This conversation follows the format of ATTN: Confidential: self-awareness, curiosity, and advocacy in a safe container. Those three themes are expressed as the Mirror, the Magnifying Glass, and the Megaphone.

Les Français adorent le “Made in France”, en parlent avec enthousiasme mais continuent pourtant à remplir leurs placards de fast-fashion. Alors que Shein s'installait au BHV au moment où s'ouvrait le Salon du Made in France, le paradoxe n'a jamais été aussi visible. Entre vêtements français jugés trop chers, offre limitée, concurrence écrasante des géants low-cost et essor spectaculaire de la seconde main, le “consommer local” peine encore à s'imposer dans les faits. Pourquoi un tel décalage entre convictions et comportements ? Et comment rendre le Made in France réellement accessible ? Les explications de Laurie Evzline, chroniqueuse Ecorama. Ecorama du 11 novembre 2025, présenté par David Jacquot sur Boursorama.com Hébergé par Audion. Visitez https://www.audion.fm/fr/privacy-policy pour plus d'informations.

Two MEPs have condemned the sale of childlike sex dolls on fast fashion retailer Shein. Both Barry Andrews and Regina Doherty are shocked with what they have come across and have called for a €5 levy on ultra-fast fashion purchases from China, as the sale of these dolls violates both our moral and legal obligations to protect children.What needs to be done to tackle the sale of these products and how can we prevent these platforms from advertising certain explicit and harrowing content?Joining Andrea to discuss Fianna Fáil MEP Barry Andrews, Arts and Culture Journalist Ashley Chadomoyo Malone, Traitors Contestant Faye Louise Brennan as well as listeners.

Hey im November! Die dunkle Jahreszeit hat Norderney fest im Griff – Laternenumzüge, Herbststürme und erste Weihnachtsvorbereitungen bestimmen das Inselbild. Und während der Winterblues langsam Einzug hält, sorgen Monique Meissner und Fatma Akkowadi-Dinkler für Lichterglanz und gute Stimmung im Einzelhandel der Insel. Die beiden Geschäftsfrauen, beide im Vorstand des Orts-Einzelhandelsverbandes, geben gemeinsam mit Kurdirektor Wilhelm Loth und Moderator Ludger Abeln einen sehr persönlichen Einblick in ihren Alltag zwischen Laden, Familie und Verbandsarbeit. Ein zentrales Thema: der dramatische Strandverlust an der Weißen Düne – nicht nur eine touristische Attraktion, sondern auch ein emotionaler Ort für viele Norderney-Fans. Trotz der Herausforderungen bleibt die Insel kämpferisch – Lösungen werden gesucht, damit dieser Hotspot nicht endgültig verschwindet. Im Fokus der Folge steht aber auch das bunte und individuelle Einkaufserlebnis auf Norderney. Hier bestimmen keine Ketten das Bild, sondern inhabergeführte Geschäfte mit Herz, Kreativität und echter Kundennähe. Fatma und Monique berichten, wie sie Trends setzen, mit nachhaltigen Produkten überzeugen und sich bewusst gegen Fast Fashion stellen. Es geht um Kinderkleidung mit Stil, Pralinen mit und ohne Alkohol und das besondere Einkaufsgefühl, das nur die Insel bieten kann. Auch der legendäre „Norderneyer Nachtbummel“ wird thematisiert – ein Abend, an dem die Stadt zur Festmeile wird. Und beim Thema Leerstand nehmen die Tidentalker kein Blatt vor den Mund: Eigentum verpflichtet, so der klare Appell an alle, die Flächen auf der Insel besitzen. Nebenbei wird es auch persönlich: Wie lässt sich Familienleben und Geschäft auf der Insel vereinen? Wie war das Aufwachsen auf Norderney – und was macht eigentlich das echte Heim- oder Sehnsuchtsgefühl der Insulaner aus? Zum Abschluss verrät Willem Loth noch erste Highlights für die kommende Summertime 2026 – Sarah Connor und ClockClock. Wer also noch ein besonderes Weihnachtsgeschenk sucht: Ein Konzertticket wäre eine gute Idee! Der Tidentalk schwappt wie immer am ersten Freitag des Monats ans Festland. Gerne abonnieren und weiterempfehlen!

Das Geschäft von Online-Billigshops wie Shein, Temu & Co. boomt. "Nachhaltige Mode hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen", räumt Nina Lorenzen von "Fashion Changers" ein. Sie führt die Gründe dafür auf die Corona-Pandemie, Kriege und Inflation zurück. Von WDR5.

AB Foods dice que podría escindir la cadena de moda Primark. Hoy ponemos el foco en el fenómeno de la "fast fashion" y el papel que ha tenido la británica en todo ello.

Jede Sekunde landet weltweit eine Lkw-Ladung Kleidung auf dem Müll oder wird verbrannt – so sieht die Realität hinter Fast Fashion aus. Nachhaltigkeitsstylistin Julia van Almsick erklärt in dieser Folge, wie sich Modeproduktion und Konsumverhalten in den letzten Jahren verändert haben – und welche Folgen das für Umwelt, Klima und unsere Kleiderschränke hat. Warum kaufen wir mehr, als wir wirklich tragen? Welche Materialien belasten die Umwelt besonders und worauf sollten wir achten, wenn wir online nachhaltiger einkaufen wollen?

Nachhaltig an der Mode sind heute oft nur die Chemikalien im Stoff. Statt im Kleiderschrank sollte man Fast Fashion deshalb besser im Putzschrank aufbewahren, findet Stefanie Grob.

Coffee-to-go, Fast Fashion, haufenweise Verpackungen beim Lebensmitteleinkauf – unser Alltag produziert jede Menge Müll.Einzelne Maßnahme wie Pfandsysteme, Textilrücknahme im Store oder die ab Dezember kommende „Geräte-Retter-Prämie“ sollen uns zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit motivieren.

Seattle's Fast Fashion (https://themasonryseattle.com/fast-fashion/) has built a reputation for modern, forward-looking IPAs and hop-focused lagers, and the characterful brewery and taproom in SoDo expresses the eclectic interests and aesthetic taste of founder Matt Storm. It's a funhouse of sorts—a bit like drinking in a thrift store full of budget mid-century furniture, stocked with kitsch that spans the past six decades. It's busy and not necessarily thematically consistent—much like the beers the brewery makes—but it's different and unique. You will not confuse it with another brewery. Over the past half-decade, the beer itself has developed from quick hits of new hazy IPAs filled with the coolest names in hops, to a more diverse lineup of IPAs and lagers—still hop forward and immaculately crafted. Under head brewer Stefano Annicharico, they've found a way to make beer that keeps the baseball game-day crowd happy, while also continuing to explore the possibilities in contemporary beer styles. In this episode, Storm and Annichiarico discuss: how Anchovy hops came to have such a unique name brewing drinkable, semi-dry hazy IPA with heavy adjunct loads building acidity in the mash to promote drinkability despite later dry-hop additions that raise the pH boiling hops in hazy IPA with 20-minute additions for more longevity in package lowering whirlpool hop amounts and pushing higher loads in post-fermentation dry hops finding bits of distinct character in hops such as Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and NZ Cascade (aka Taiheke) avoiding excessive rousing to limit hop burn using New Zealand hops in modern hoppy lager And more.

In der Stadt gibt es sie in fast jedem Quartier: die Altkleider-Container. Und ähnlich wie beim Altglas, steht auch bei den Altkleider-Sammelstellen oftmals viel um den eigentlichen Container herum. Manchmal überlaufen sie völlig. Denn es werden immer mehr Kleider gespendet. Doch die Qualität der Kleidung nimmt ab. Und in den Containern landen auch häufig Sachen, die dort eigentlich gar nicht hineingehörten.Das Altkleidersystem war einmal ein karitatives Erfolgsmodell. Jetzt stösst es an seine Grenzen und droht, zusammenzubrechen. Davor warnen die grossen Sammelfirmen wie Tell-Tex oder Texaid.Wie konnte es soweit kommen? Soll man überhaupt noch Kleider spenden?

Sweater season has arrived for many of us, so let's revisit a favorite episode from last 2023!Dani of Picnicwear joins Amanda to explain why (most) new sweaters are low quality, (near) future garbage (instead of future vintage).  It's a complicated tale of synthetic blends, increasing margin targets, and lower prices.  We'll explain how the fast fashion industry has kept prices low and profits high by swapping out yarns, cutting out details, and making copies of copies, while walking through the design process of most big retailers/brands. We will unpack why it's really difficult to find sweaters made of natural fibers.Amanda will explain how natural fibers aren't the "cure" for the impact of overconsumption.We will give you advice about how to choose the right sweater (hint: read those content labels).Dani will give you advice about how to care for your sweaters properly. We were inspired by Amanda Mull's piece for The Atlantic, Your Sweaters Are Garbage.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Jennifer Ann Johnson, founder of True Fashionistas, Florida's leading lifestyle resale brand. Jennifer shares her inspiring journey from running a wedding planning business to building a thriving fashion resale empire. She talks about overcoming challenges like COVID-19 and hurricanes, the power of core values, and her belief in consistency and passion as keys to success. Jennifer also discusses leadership lessons, team culture, and how resilience and innovation helped her business grow from a small store to a 13,000-square-foot powerhouse. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here.   Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jennifer Ann Johnson, the hardest thing in growing a small business is “staying the course.” She explains that it's easy to get distracted by competitors or trends, but true growth comes from staying focused, keeping your blinders on, and competing only with yourself. Her mindset is all about perseverance — focusing on your own path and goals rather than comparing yourself to others. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jennifer Ann Johnson's favorite business book that has helped her the most is “Begin With We” by Kyle McDowell. She loves it because it focuses on company culture and leadership, emphasizing how standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your employees—rather than above them—creates stronger teams and a more successful business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jennifer Ann Johnson recommends exploring The Confident Entrepreneur, her own podcast focused on leadership, growth, and confidence for business owners. She also provides valuable free tools and resources on her website to help entrepreneurs thrive. Beyond her work, she suggests tuning into other insightful shows like The Small Business Growth Podcast, The How of Business, and Masters of Scale by Reid Hoffman — all offering practical lessons on scaling, marketing, and managing small businesses effectively. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jennifer Ann Johnson recommends using The Confident Entrepreneur Podcast and her online resources as powerful tools for small business growth. Through her podcast, she shares real-world stories, leadership lessons, and actionable strategies on marketing, consistency, and scaling a business. Her website also offers free resources, coaching, and blogs that help entrepreneurs strengthen their mindset, improve operations, and build confidence while avoiding common business pitfalls. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jennifer Ann Johnson's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business would be simple yet powerful — “You can do hard things.” She believes entrepreneurship is full of challenges, but success comes from trusting your abilities, facing obstacles head-on, and staying resilient no matter how tough things get. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your small business to new heights! Enjoyed the podcast?

Buying new iPhones, wardrobe makeovers and single-use products have become social norms. But what happens to the old, replaced items? Synopsis: Every second Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. Annual launches like Apple’s iPhone have spurred the desire to own the latest piece of technology, as consumers face up to marketing tactics from smartphones to fast fashion. Usually, older items that are replaced are being tossed away to make way for the new. What else can be done to the replaced items apart from sending them to the landfill? In this episode, ST assistant podcast editor Lynda Hong examines whether we have a throwaway culture that’s grown despite years of public education and outreach and whether we are too quick to chuck stuff to make way for new ones. She also explores if the iPhone 17 is worth the upgrade from the iPhone 16. Her guests are Mr Tan Ching Hwee, founder of myhalo, a platform allowing users to trade-in, repair, sell, and buy used digital devices; and Mr Lionel Dorai, executive director of Zerowaste SG, an NGO that advocates for Singapore to go zero waste through public education. Highlights (click/tap above): 9:03 Upgrading from iPhone 16 to 17 12:53 Batteries in phones can be replaced 17:03 Pairing earbuds from different sets - does it work? 23:44 The repairing culture in curbing throwaways in fast fashion 31:46 How to decipher green washing tactics 35:34 Would CDC vouchers to subsidise repair costs encourage more to repair?

Raglan's Xtreme Zero waste recyling centre is banning cast-offs from the China based fast fashion giant Shein. It says the poor quality and the sheer volumme Shein garments mean its a real challenge to sell them in their recycle retail store. Shein clothes tend to be made from synthetic fabrics, and testing has shown some contain harmful chemical like formaldehyde and are sold for extremely low prices.

In this episode, we will unpack how brands use customer information to create that emotional connection:A nostalgic trip back to the 00s:  the rise and fall of Urban Outfitters' “coolness", and what it revealed about aspirational vs. actual customers.Why brands claim to be “obsessed with the customer,” yet often misunderstand who's really shopping with them.The shift from emotional branding to data-driven surveillance marketing and how companies now know us better than we know ourselves.Very special guest Kim Christenson (aka Amanda's cohost of The Department)  joins us to explain how digital marketing, social media, and algorithms shape what we buy.A deep dive into “surveillance pricing” and how brands adjust prices just for you (and no, that's not a good thing).And so much more!!Additional reading:"Hotel booking sites show higher prices to travelers from Bay Area," Keith A.

Fast fashion has taken over the fashion industry, but is less expensive, trendy clothing really worth the purchase? Those who say to “stop” argue fast fashion harms the environment in many ways and exploits workers in countries with lax regulations. Those who say “keep shopping” argue it's up to shoppers to choose, as fast fashion offers affordable options, supports jobs, and boosts local economies. Now we debate: Fast Fashion: Shop or Stop?  Arguing Stop: Kenneth Pucker, Former COO of Timberland; Professor at The Fletcher School at Tufts University   Arguing Shop: Katherine Mangu-Ward, Editor-in-Chief at Reason    Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Bree McKeen, founder of Evelyn & Bobbie, the brand rewriting the rules of bras with comfort, science, and confidence at the core. For decades, bras have been built on outdated designs that cause pain, poor posture, and even body dysmorphia. Bree is here to change that.Coming from a background in finance and healthcare investing, Bree didn't expect to end up in fashion. But as a woman wearing a 34G bra through long workdays, she knew the frustration firsthand—rigid underwires, digging straps, and sizing chaos that never seemed to fit. Instead of blaming her body, Bree questioned why bras hadn't evolved in nearly a century. That question sparked a revolution.At Evelyn & Bobbie, bras are reengineered for real bodies, not flat blueprints. With input from over 270 fit models, flexible sizing, and adaptive fabrics developed with top athletic manufacturers, their designs mold to your shape instead of fighting it. No underwires, no shame—just support that feels like a second skin.But this isn't just about comfort. Evelyn & Bobbie bras are trusted by surgeons for post-surgical recovery, praised for posture-friendly design, and cherished by women rediscovering confidence after years of pain and poor fit. Their message is bold and simple: your body is perfect—bras are the problem. Tune in to hear how Bree McKeen and Evelyn & Bobbie are transforming an everyday essential into a tool for health, healing, and empowerment.To learn more about Evelyn & Bobbie visit their website and social media.CHAPTERS:(0:02) Introduction & Fast Fashion(0:41) Meet Bree McKeen, Founder of Evelyn and Bobbie(1:01) Bree's Background & Inspiration(2:03) The Struggles of Finding a Comfortable Bra(3:15) Health Impacts & Posture Issues(5:00) Outdated Bra Design & Industry Standards(6:35) Sizing Struggles & Body Image(8:18) The Flaws in Conventional Bra Construction(11:17) Designing Bras That Adapt to Women's Bodies(13:00) Body Dysmorphia & Fashion's Role(16:01) Evelyn & Bobbie's Philosophy & Fit ModelsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!
