🎥 More about this video:
You may have heard of or even bought from the fast fashion company Shein. Some love it, some hate it. I've mentioned the company in several videos before, but I thought it'd be good if we do a deep dive into Shein as a company - how did it become the biggest fast fashion company, making up 50% of US's fast fashion sales and dropping over 10 THOUSAND items a day?? How has Shein influenced our concept of fast fashion, ethical business, and our roles as consumers? Let's talk all this and more!
