Is fast fashion destroying the planet?

Fast fashion is the rise of cheap, trendy, affordable and accessible clothes that turn catwalk trends into bargain buys in a matter of weeks. And while more fashion choices might seem like a good thing for consumers, it’s a bad thing for the planet. The average Australian buys 27 kilograms of clothes every year, and we throw away 23 of those, so 85 percent of what we buy ends up in landfill.

On today's Briefing we ask: Just how much is fast fashion destroying the planet and what can we do about it? To help answer this question we speak to Clare Press – Sustainable fashion expert and presenter of the Wardrobe Crisis podcast and Lucianne Tonti, founder of sustainable fashion showroom and consultancy Le 31.

In today's news headlines:

  • Trump refuses second debate, labelling his Covid diagnosis “a blessing from God”
  • Labor’s budget reply has big focus on women, families and blue collar workers
  • Senator Jacqui Lambie refuses to support increase in Uni Degree Costs
