In a world of $2 T-shirts and $10 jeans, one Global North man’s trash is no longer another Global South man’s treasure. It’s just trash tossed around the world until it hits the ground. A business model that gets consumers addicted to excessive amounts of stylistically homogeneous clothing that is trendy but quickly depreciates in real value—clothing that lacks the embedded value that once made clothing worth keeping, repairing, reselling, upcycling, or recycling—that’s a business model that consolidates profits in the pockets of a few businessmen, leaving us to clean up their mess.
