The Depop discourse: Who deserves to save old clothes?
For Rolling Stone, CT Jones explains how online controversy over reselling and upcycling clothing (specifically on the resell app Depop) is distracting from the fashion industry's actual problems. Many argue that these resellers are "stealing clothes off the backs of poorer communities," according to Jones. "One myth is that thrift stores are going to somehow run out of clothes if there are resellers buying too much, which doesn't align at all with how much fashion is floating around out there," says fashion historian Cora Harrington. "There's a lot less friction in real life around these topics."

Why does fast fashion fall apart so quickly?
With the continued rise of fast fashion and the obsession with buying new clothes frequently for extremely discounted prices, some brands are assuming that clothing quality has become inconsequential to many consumers — so long as they can buy a new piece to replace the one that fell apart. Andrea Cheong, a TikToker who aims to educate clothing consumers, told Isabel Slone of Harper's Bazaar, "I always tell people you should choose your clothes like you choose your friends. If they're not as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, why are you wasting your time?"
