Rumor has it Shein is gearing up with a potential new tactic to clean up their dirty business practices: a collaboration with upcycle designers. I know what you're thinking because I thought it too: How does that work? In the midst of their horrid yet hilarious PR stunt? The copyright infringement lawsuit? We're going to have Alexandria Carroll, the founder of festival-wear brand Modern Alien 🛸 and EvoluSHEIN♻️ upcycler spill the details. After we rave over reworked festival-wear, of course. How can a relationship between slow and fast fashion exist? Are we going to wake up one day to Shein becoming the biggest platform for upcycled designers? So many questions! Grab a snack and a glow stick, this is a must-listen.
