Shein, Zara, and the Fast Fashion Trap Pop Cultured with theSkimm

    • Society & Culture

From Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday to after-Christmas sales, more and more brands are selling fast fashion. And social media has been huge in helping brands like SHEIN, Zara and other online retailers show up in your Instagram, Facebook and TikTok feeds. But before you hit check out on your cart, learn the three questions you should be asking yourself to see if it’s really worth the cost.
Plus, we talk with basketball legend Dwyane Wade about his latest memoir — and we quiz him on his style knowledge.

You’ll hear from:
Aja Barber, writer, stylist, fashion consultant and author of “Consumed: The Need for Collective Change”
Dwyane Wade, NBA megastar, author and businessman
