Gaby explores the world of fast fashion and greenwashing with Overdressed author and Remake and PayUp activist Elizabeth L. Cline. With all these celebrities shilling for Shein, Fashion Nova, and other fast fashion brands, these companies are gaining into the billions with terrible garment worker practices, huge environmental waste and by stealing designs from marginalized artists. (Okay, that last one is just Gaby's personal pet peeve.) Then, Gaby talks to actress Jasika Nicole (Fringe, The Good Doctor) who makes all her own clothing - yes, even her shoes and undergarments - about why she goes to these lengths, how you can sew your own clothing, and the pros and cons of thrifting.
