Pandemic & Power Imbalances in the Fashion Industry

Garment workers have always been essential workers, the pandemic just showed us how essential they really are. As much as we’d like to blame all the current problems in the industry on the pandemic, this is simply disingenuous.  The truth is these problems have existed long before the pandemic hit; however, this unprecedented time has magnified them to a point where they can no longer be ignored. And if we don’t change our approach, they will persist even after the pandemic ends. Danielle, Lauren, and Catherine explore the unequal power dynamics that exist in the industry and what needs to happen going forward in this second episode of Unspun, a podcast brought to you by Population.To join the conversation follow us @wearepopulation or visit wearepopulation.com.
