What is Fast Fashion? Does social media impact our relationship to clothes? How can we stay trendy while consuming with care?

In this episode, we explore all things Fast Fashion with Associate Prof. Timo Rissanen, who is a published author of two books on fashion and sustainability! We had the opportunity to learn more about the fast fashion model, solving the challenges of clothing manufacturing waste, the impacts of social media's 'trend' based culture, and how we can make small changes to move towards sustainable consumption.
