The argument about whether shopping "sustainably" is a privilege not everyone can afford.
People online are debating whether contestants from ITV鈥檚 Love Island should be signing mega-bucks deals with clothes companies that sell people stuff cheaply and often - so-called fast fashion. Others claim it's a bit rich for the well-off to lecture everyone else about what's in their wardrobe? We鈥檒l look at how fast fashion got turbo-charged, see if the stats on climate change and fashion add up, explore how fashion and social class have interacted over the years, and ask if 鈥渟ustainable fashion鈥� is an oxymoron.
