Fast fashion: The environmental impact

We begin a series on fast fashion, looking at its costs and the environmental impact.

Who pays for our love of fashion? The global clothing industry has a bigger carbon footprint than shipping and aviation combined. Our business presenter Dharshini David looks at the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

We also hear from the fashion designer Katherine Hamnett on her regrets and what she is doing to change the way she makes clothes.
