Debenhams was once one of the biggest names on the British high street. Founded in 1778, it collapsed into administration before being rescued in 2024 and rebuilt as a digital-only marketplace. Now, under chief executive Dan Finley, Debenhams Group is back to growth after reporting a £350 million loss in the year to February 2025. Finley argues the business is now one of the biggest turnarounds in recent UK retail history, with the Debenhams brand generating £654 million in annual revenue and a marketplace model built around 25,000 brands across fashion, home and beauty.But his biggest fight is not just with the legacy of the high street. It is with China's fast fashion giants. Shein and Temu have disrupted the UK market, and Finley says the brands in his group — Boohoo and PrettyLittleThing among them, once the original online fashion disruptors — have taken a hit. He admits they have had a tough time but says the fightback is under way, with the group dusting itself off and competing again. The challenge is compounded by the de minimis tax exemption, which allows low-value parcels to enter the UK without import duties. Finley says this gives Chinese platforms a structural cost advantage over British retailers, which pay UK taxes, employ British workers and comply with domestic safety regulation. The government has committed to closing the loophole by 2029, but Finley wants action within 12 months, pointing to the United States, which moved in six months, and the EU, which begins rolling out changes from July.There is also pressure closer to home. Frasers Group, controlled by Mike Ashley, owns close to 30 per cent of Debenhams Group and recently blocked the formal company name change from Boohoo to Debenhams Group. Finley says the business already operates as Debenhams Group in practice, trades under the stock market ticker "DEBS", and remains focused on delivering value for all shareholders. His own incentive plan is tied to a dramatic target: taking the share price from around 23p to £3, an 18-fold increase sustained over two years, creating more than £4 billion in shareholder value. Finley calls it a big challenge, but says he is determined to get there.The next stage of the turnaround is built around AI and agentic commerce. Debenhams has struck a partnership with Meta and is preparing for a future where consumers shop through platforms such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. Internally, AI is being used to scale marketing content from a single photo shoot into millions of personalised assets, while a partnership with Multiverse will deliver more than 100 AI apprenticeships for staff. Finley describes AI as a "snakes and ladders moment" for both companies and individuals.What is not coming back is the department store. Finley rules out a return to physical retail and says Debenhams' future is entirely digital. His ambition is for the brand to become "to retail what Spotify is to music": a curated marketplace where shoppers can discover thousands of brands in one place.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Will and Sean intro pod 02:00 Dan Finley on the Debenhams turnaround 13:57 Frasers/Mike Ashley standoff 17:19 18x share price target 18:26 De minimis loophole benefitting Shein/Temu. 21:15 Fast fashion fight-back & influencer growth 27:50 AI and agentic commerce push 33:13 No return to physical stores

Der Handel mit Secondhand-Ware wächst unaufhaltsam, steht aber vor ganz eigenen logistischen und strategischen Herausforderungen. In dieser Folge spricht Karo mit Claudia Frese, CEO von Momox, über das einzigartige "Circular Economy"-Geschäftsmodell. Wie löst Momox das Problem des „Supply-Engpasses“ beim Ankauf von Privatpersonen, der aktuell die größte Wachstumsbremse darstellt? Warum ist algorithmisches Pricing überlebenswichtig, wenn das Inventar aus Millionen von Einzelstücken besteht? Und wie verändert Agentic Commerce den Markt? Claudia erklärt, warum reine Marktplätze im Zeitalter der KI deutlich angreifbarer werden und weshalb echte physische Logistik für Momox zum Vorteil gegenüber Plattformen wie Vinted wird. Außerdem: Claudia teilt ihre Perspektive auf Profitabilität bei knapp 400 Millionen Euro Umsatz, die Herausforderung unstrukturierter Daten bei Kleidung und ihre ehrgeizigen Ziele für ein zweistelliges Wachstum und die weitere Internationalisierung.

Shein, the face of fast fashion, has reportedly acquired Everlane – a brand with an ethos of sustainability and ethical fashion. The sale is worth around US$100 million and is a result of the $90 million in debt Everlane is sitting on. In a statement to the New York Times, CEO Alfred Chang says the brand will remain independent, and keep its “sustainability components”, with the acquisition being framed as a way to expand the brand's global reach and accelerate its vision. Kate ‘Ethically Kate' Hall joined Jack Tame to discuss the sale and what it represents about sustainable and ethical fashion. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Verpackung ist überall – und gleichzeitig fast unsichtbar. Sie schützt Produkte, bewegt sie um die Welt und landet oft Sekunden später schon wieder im Müll. Gerade in der Mode gehört sie ganz selbstverständlich dazu. Und trotzdem sprechen wir über Verpackung erstaunlich selten, wenn es um Nachhaltigkeit geht.In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Laura Melzer von Wildplastic über Verpackung als blinden Fleck der Fashionindustrie, über die globale Plastikkrise und darüber, warum Müll oft schon viel früher entsteht, als wir denken. Gemeinsam schauen wir auf Onlinehandel, Retouren, Fast Fashion und die Frage, welche Rolle Verpackung eigentlich für unser heutiges Konsumsystem spielt.Es geht um Verantwortung, Infrastruktur, globale Ungleichheiten – und um die Frage, wie wir Materialien neu denken können, ohne die Realität unseres Systems auszublenden.Eine Folge über das, was wir oft übersehen – obwohl wir es jeden Tag in den Händen halten.Unsere Shownotes für euch: WildplasticPPWREPRDPPPPPETHDPELDPEVergesst nicht: keep it slow!-----Unsere Intro/Outro Musik ist SOUL von Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/ | promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Wines We're Drinking: Cremosi Vineyards Pinot Noir — Latina-owned winery based in Oregon This week's episode is one for the cultura and the closet, mija. Jessica sits down with Elvira Zamora, visionary founder of Thrifts.com and Chicano Elegance — two platforms rooted in culture, community, and conscious expression. Elvira grew up in Lima, Peru, where reusing, repurposing, and refusing to waste were just a way of life. When she arrived in the U.S. at 10 years old, the wastefulness she witnessed was a full-on culture shock — and it sparked a lifelong commitment to sustainable fashion that she's turned into a movement. From the hidden health risks of fast fashion fabrics (yes, you might literally be wearing plastic) to the radical joy of clothing swaps and sewing circles, Elvira breaks it all down in a way that's real, funny, and genuinely eye-opening. She also shares the story behind Chicano Elegance, a glam gala she created after waiting two decades to see Latiné culture celebrated on a fashion runway — so she built the runway herself. This one will have you rethinking your closet, your consumption habits, and maybe even that wedding dress sitting in a bag in the back of your room. No judgment, just chisme and good wine.

In dieser Folge geht es um ein Thema, das uns alle betrifft: Nämlich Kleidung. Ich nehme an, die meisten, die gerade zuhören, tragen welche und ich lade euch ein, einmal auf das Etikett zu schauen und zu prüfen, aus welchen Materialien eure Kleidung besteht. Mein Pulli besteht aus 100 Prozent Baumwolle. Das ist gut fürs Recycling. Der Großteil der Kleidung, die im Umlauf ist, besteht allerdings aus Mischgewebe, also zum Beispiel einem Baumwolle-Polyester Mix. Das ist das nur schlecht recyclebar. Was also passiert mit der ganzen Kleidung, die sich am Ende ihres Lebens nicht recyceln lässt? Sie landet – leider – viel zu oft im Müll, weil wir eine lineare Textilwirtschaft haben. Das heißt: Wir tragen Kleidung und dann werfen wir sie weg. Julia Schneider will das ändern. Sie ist Bundestagsabgeordnete für Bündnis 90/die Grünen und setzt sich dafür ein, dass wir eine Kreislaufwirtschaft im Bereich Textilien aufbauen. Hilfreich könnte eine EU-Verordnung sein, die Deutschland bald umsetzen muss. Welche das ist und welche Möglichkeiten wir haben, das verrät Julia im Interview. Wir sind Andrea Gerhard & David Wehle, Hosts von ZWEIvorZWÖLF, dem Podcast über Nachhaltigkeit & soziale Gerechtigkeit, in dem wir mit spannenden Gästen über Wege zu einem besseren Miteinander sprechen.

This episode is part nine in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we will continue to explore how the price we are willing to pay for an item (aka "perceived value") is directly related to branding:We will get to the bottom of those "compare at" prices at off price stores and outlets,An introduction to the term "anchor pricing,"Why thrift stores are making a major branding mistake by pricing up certain items, Why trends are so emotional (and a key part of planning a product assortment),And introducing...THE PYRAMID OF MERCHANDISING!!"TJ Maxx's and Marshalls' comparison prices aren't always what they seem," Jennifer Ortakales Dawkins, Business Insider."TJ Maxx Sued Over 'Compare At' Prices," ABC News."Bargains at Winners not always what they appear," Melissa Mancini, CBC.Thanks for being one of the elite few who read the show notes.

La plupart des vêtements de la fast fashion qui arrivent dans l'usine de tri de Texaid sont en trop mauvais état pour être proposés à la seconde main. Ils finiront en laine d'isolation. Mickael Emmenegger, est responsable du développement durable dans l'usine de Schattdorf. Il aimerait développer la valorisation du textile usagé. L'élaboration d'un fil épais et grisâtre issu de vieux textile est en phase de test. Il permettrait de faire des tapis à l'esthétique discutable. Aujourd'hui, aucune économie circulaire n'existe pour le textile. Rediffusion du 12 juin 2020 Reportage: Catherine Erard Réalisation: Jean-Daniel Motte Production: Véronique Marti

A U.S. Army soldier is charged with using classified information to bet on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Iran uses a swarm of speedboats to seize two container ships near the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. reclassifies marijuana as a less dangerous drug. And your wardrobe is caught in the crossfire as a surge in fossil fuel prices squeezes polyester suppliers and garment makers.  Listen to the Morning Bid podcast ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

12-Stunden-Tage, extrem niedrige Löhne und eine Sechs-Tage-Woche: Diese «Kassensturz»-Reportage deckt die dunkle Seite der italienischen Textilindustrie auf. Und zeigt: Das begehrte Label «Made in Italy» ist längst keine Garantie für faire Arbeitsbedingungen. Das Label «Made in Italy» steht oft für Qualität und Luxus. Doch das täuscht: Besonders in Prato, einem Zentrum der Textilproduktion, arbeiten viele chinesische und pakistanische Migranten unter prekären Bedingungen für «Fast Fashion». Gewerkschaften kämpfen für die Rechte der Arbeiter, die sich gegen diese Missstände wehren und deswegen ihre Anstellung verlieren. Und auch die italienische Justiz verstärkt ihre Massnahmen gegen die systematische Ausbeutung von Arbeitskräften.

De geruchten werden ontkracht, maar toch gebeurt het: Tim Cook stopt over een paar maanden als CEO van Apple. Na 15 jaar en een beurskoers die ruim vertwintigvoudigd is breit hij er een eind aan. John Ternus is de man die het van hem overneemt. Tim Cook Junior, zo noemen ze hem binnen Apple, als baas van de hardware-tak van Apple. En voor wie dacht dat Cook écht zou vertrekken: dat doet hij niet! Hij blijft gewoon zijn werk doen als lobbyist voor het bedrijf. Hoe gaan de komende jaren voor Apple eruit zien? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering voor je uit. Verder hebben we het over SpaceX. Dat wordt Tesla 2.0 als het om de cadeautjes van Elon Musk gaat. Want ook bij SpaceX staat er al een mega bonus voor hem klaar. Daarnaast wil Musk misschien wel het geld van investeerders hebben, maar zeggenschap geeft hij ze niet. Hij geeft zichzelf en zijn vertrouwelingen speciale aandelen die sowieso zwaarder wegen dan die van beleggers. Je hoort ook nog over alwéér een rechtszaak tussen Milieudefensie en Shell, over alwéér een Nvidia-partner die een spetter van een beursgang heeft, en over alwéér een miljardendeal tussen een Magnificent Seven- en een AI-bedrijf. En we leggen je uit waarom de beursnotering van Magnum tot nu toe vooral een heel zure citroen-Calippo is. Te gast: Wilbert Aarts, van Bond Capital Partners BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Niall Boylan asks listeners if they think fast fashion should be banned.

When GLP-1 drugs supercharge eating disorders; Vitamin C's brain-protective role; Can your fast-fashion clothing give you cancer? As an experiment, scientists invented a fake disease—then AI started reporting it as real; Zeaxanthin could charge cancer treatment; How long is Kyolic aged garlic extract aged?

Host Terri Wilke with speak with a group of students from the University of Kansas environmental studies program, Kenzie Schubert, Aaron Jones, Kensington Comfort, Nyah Noronha, and Gwen Nelson. For their senior year Capstone project, they have developed our show encompassing what they have learned from their studies.  The topic they have selected is fast fashion and generative AI and how those two are connected. Fast fashion is defined as the rapid production of inexpensive clothing that is designed to quickly move from the store into our closets. Brands are constantly releasing new collections to keep up with trends and encourage consumers to keep buying. The goal isn't sustainability but rather speed, affordability, and volume.  The students discuss the environmental impacts of this. Generative artificial intelligence is a type of AI that can create new content and ideas, including conversations, stories, images, videos, and music. Today, the students will unpack the environmental footprint of generative AI.  Both the Generative AI and fast fashion industries are similar in the alarming rates of wastes and emissions they produce, in the lack of transparency and regulation they operate under, and in the behaviors of their consumers.  These are both two large systems that many people contribute to daily, without realizing the harm they're causing by doing so. Tune in to hear what your cheap clothes cost the planet.  Fast fashion is a global supply chain built for speed that is leaving behind waste, toxins, and a trail of environmental wreckage. AI brings promise – and peril. The boom in AI and data centers is driving communities to defend their land, resources, and cultural knowledge from new forms of extraction. Tech companies train their generative AI on vast quantities of text, images, videos, and other online data. The information is typically used without shared agreement or approval. EcoRadio KC supports the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour! “The whole world is one neighborhood.”  Franklin D. Roosevelt

ANZ reported a sharp fall in retail activity last month, March card data shows a more than 4 percent drop in spending at general clothing stores and a 6 percent drop at shoe stores, compared to last year. Overseas, France is bringing in an enviromental fee on fast fashion brands; it will rise to 10 euros an item by 2030. Retail New Zealand said local business have compliance costs and health and safety standards that off shore operators are not held to and it's time to look at a level on overseas retailers. CEO Carolyn Young spoke to Lisa Owen.

When you think about fashion, you probably picture two completely different worlds. On one side, you have fast fashion: the impossibly cheap t-shirt, the trendy dress you can buy for the price of lunch. On the other, you have luxury: the thousand-dollar handbag, the handcrafted Italian shoes. They seem like they come from different planets. But what if I told you that when you peel back the label, the real cost—the one paid by the planet, and by people—is disturbingly similar? Today, we're asking: in the battle between luxury and fast fashion, who really pays the price?Become a guest on High Feels Podcast: https://highfeelspodcast.com/guestBook more modeling jobs by discovering the industry more with the Online Modeling Course: https://modelingmastercourse.com Questions or comments?

In Precarious Accumulation: Fast Fashion Bosses in Transnational Guangzhou (Duke UP, 2026), the cultural anthropologist Nellie Chu tells the story of the migrant entrepreneurs at the heart of Guangzhou's fast fashion industry—one of the world's most dynamic hubs of transnational commodity production. Chu shows how rural Chinese migrants, West African traders, and South Korean jobbers navigate the high-speed, low-margin world of just-in-time garment production that fuels the constant accumulation of wealth via global supply chains. Drawing on fieldwork in Guangzhou's urban villages and household workshops, Chu outlines how these entrepreneurs' dreams of economic freedom clash with the reality of precarity and the exclusions of emigre status. Migrant bosses operate within a highly competitive, informal economy where they are both agents and target of exploitation, as they must evade rent collectors, endure racialized policing, and mitigate extortion from security officers and competitors. Chu crucially demonstrates how their efforts generate novel forms of migratory labor, commodity production, and cross-cultural exchange in postsocialist China. Nellie Chu (email here) is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke Kunshan University. Her research focuses on transnational and domestic migrant entrepreneurs across the global supply chains of fast fashion in southern China. She has papers published in leading academic journals, including positions: east asia critique, Modern Asian Studies, Culture, Theory, and Critique, and Journal of Modern Craft. Her work can also be found in Made in China Journal, Youth Circulations, and Noema Magazine. Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training.

In der EU besteht die Pflicht, Altkleider zu sammeln. Die Flut von billigen Textilien aus China macht das Recycling unrentabel. Textilien in Altkleider-Container zu werfen, scheint umweltfreundlich. Doch die Realität ist ernüchternd: Pro Jahr entsorgt jede Person in der Europäischen Union im Schnitt 16 Kilogramm Textilien, aber nur 15 Prozent davon werden gesammelt – trotz gesetzlicher Pflicht. Die Niederlande sind mit einer Sammelquote von 50 Prozent führend, aber selbst dort brechen die Preise für Altkleider ein. Das gefährdet soziale Projekte, die durch den Verkauf finanziert werden. Das Unternehmen «Sympany» versucht durch Automatisierung die Kosten um 80 Prozent zu senken, doch Billigkleider aus China (v. a. von Shein und Temu) überfluten den Markt. Diese minderwertigen, synthetischen Kleidungsstücke sind oft nicht recyclebar und landen im Müll. Die Kosten trägt die Entsorgungsbranche, während die Preise für Alttextilien weiter fallen. Die EU findet keine Antwort auf die Billigstkultur. Der Boom von «Ultra-Fast-Fashion» untergräbt das Recycling-System und verschärft die Krise.

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne V. Mühlethaler welcomes Katia Dayan Vladimirova, a senior sustainability policy expert with almost fifteen years of research experience at the intersection of fashion, policy, and social change. Katia is the founder of the Post Growth Fashion Agency, a boutique advisory service working with local and national governments and NGOs to transform how we consume and dispose of fashion. She is also the author of the Substack Post Growth Fashion, the founder of the International Research Network on Sustainable Fashion Consumption — now hosted at Yale and bringing together close to 180 researchers globally — and the founder of Well Rounded, the first plastic-free underwear brand made in Europe, with a supply chain traced all the way to cotton fields in Greece. She holds a double PhD in climate ethics and political science, and has studied and worked at institutions including the London School of Economics, MIT, ULB in Brussels, LUISS in Rome, and UNIGE in Geneva.The conversation begins with Katia sharing her story. Anne and Katia then get into the ideas at the heart of Katia's work. She unpacks degrowth and sufficiency, making the case that the labels do these concepts a disservice, since studies show overwhelming public support for the underlying principles once they are actually explained. Applied to fashion, she is interested not in restricting creativity but in shifting how we experience clothing: through swapping, renting, repairing, community events, and a deeper relationship with what we already own. She talks about the Rule of Five, how we would each need to limit ourselves to in order to stay within the planetary boundaries aligned with the Paris Agreement's target. The pair also discuss the role of cities in managing textile waste and Katia's work with Geneva, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, and others to make sustainable fashion alternatives viable at a local level. She notes that in Geneva, only 3% of donated garments are redistributed locally; the rest enter a global stream that ends up, in large part, in open-air landfills in West Africa. Katia then shares the argument at the heart of her essay The Trojan Horse of Fashion: that the oversupply of secondhand. itself a product of fast fashion overproduction, is creating a bubble that will burst within five to ten years, forcing a major restructuring of the industry. An exceptionally knowledgeable, warm, and surprisingly joyful conversation on one of the most urgent topics of our time.

This episode is part eight in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism. In this episode, we will talk about how the price we are willing to pay for an item is directly related to branding:Why "perceived value" is almost more important than mathing the math,How brands manipulate the perceived value via small changes to products, Why even the graphic design of a brand's website will change your expectations around pricing,How you often guess the prices in a store just by looking at the merchandising and fixtures,And why we have to stop expecting small business prices to align with fast fashion/fast everything pricing.Add your address to get a postcard.Get your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/For the next month, use promo code THEPRICEISRIGHT to get 50% off all merch!

In part two of two, Amanda explains how and why they worked in fast fashion. This episode picks back up at Amanda's worst job ever, takes a journey through the very opaque supply chain to (hopefully) find out who is making our clothes, and ends up back in Philadelphia (again).
