Description
This episode is brought to you by Girl, the new fragrance by Rochas for a generation that nurtures and prioritises their wellbeing. Girl contains 90% natural-origin ingredients, and an eco-designed bottle made from 40% recycled glass. Shop Rochas Girl at David Jones or The Iconic. In this week's episode, we explore the controversy around feminist TikTok star Drew Afualo after she did a sponsored video for shady fast-fashion brand, Shein. We dive into the origins of fast-fashion, why Shein is amongst the most unethical fast-fashion brands, and why Drew's audience responded so poorly to her sponcon (especially when so many other influencers promote fast-fashion). We also share Drew's response to the backlash and aim to answer the question: Should we be holding influencers who promote consumption to a higher standard? Because is there really any ethical consumption under capitalism, anyways?
