Fashion moves fast. But like, damn... we didn't know it was blasting through the sound barrier lately. Not just in terms of changing taste, but also with the speed at which the industry cranks out cheap, crappy clothes. So we had to do a little cleaning out of the closets with fashion journalist Dana Thomas. DANA THOMAS is the author of Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes, Fashionopolis Young Readers Edition, Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, and the New York Times bestseller Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, all published by Penguin Press. She hosts “The Green Dream,” a podcast focused on sustainability and human rights, produced by Wondercast. She wrote the screenplay for Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams, a feature documentary directed by Luca Guadagnino, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2020. Thomas began her career writing for the Style section of The Washington Post, and for fifteen years she served as a cultural and fashion correspondent for Newsweek in Paris. She is currently a contributing editor for British Vogue, and a regular contributor to The New York Times Style section. Thomas has written for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, and Architectural Digest Here's some homework for you nerds who love to read: https://fashionchecker.org/ https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/en/article/20201208STO93327/the-impact-of-textile-production-and-waste-on-the-environment-infographics https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60382624 https://changingmarkets.org/report/take-back-trickery-an-investigation-into-clothing-take-back-schemes/ https://www.emarketer.com/content/worldwide-ecommerce-sales-break-6-trillion "Indecent with Kiki Andersen" is a production of Next Chapter Podcasts.
