If you think fast fashion is bad, check out SHEIN

There's fast fashion – and then there's SHEIN. The Chinese fashion giant is taking what we thought was already bad to new extremes. They produce ultra-cheap clothes at ultra-fast speed, creating an ultra-big hype on social media. But how do they do it? We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. #PlanetA #FastFashion #SHEIN Reporter: Beina Xu Camera: Henning Goll Video editor: Thomas Rosenberg Supervising editor: Joanna Gottschalk, Malte Rohwer-Kahlmann Read more: The environmental price of fast fashion: https://www.researchgate.net/publicat...
