Show Notes
This month marks both London Fashion Week and Oxfam's #SecondHandSeptember campaign so it feels like a good time to talk about why fast fashion clothing is so cheap.
Joining me is Clare Carlile from Ethical Consumer magazine, and we talk about the impact low prices has on working conditions and the environment.
