Aja Barber's Call to Transform the Fashion Industry
Fast fashion is all about helping people to find small businesses that they like brands, that they like that sort of thing, and just getting away from the goliaths of the industry, because the goliaths of the industry are the ones that are doing the most amount of polluting and they're the ones that have to change the most in order for the fashion industry to be better.
