Fast Fashion’s Unknowns

  • Summary

  • Even if you don’t shop on Shein, the fast-fashion retailer may have changed online shopping for you. The site offers necklaces for under $2, hoodies under $11, and sneakers for less than $20. But, how is the company offering prices that low? Timothy McLaughlin is a contributing writer for The Atlantic, with a story titled, “The Mysterious, Meteoric Rise of Shein”. Mary Long caught up with McLaughlin to discuss: - The questions about how fast fashion became ultra-fast fashion. - Why Shein’s leaders may be staying quiet. - How an export and tax loophole is driving business for Shein and Temu, and why that could change.
