the naked (and afraid) fashion generation

How did we become so disconnected from our clothes? And how does the fast fashion industry manipulate that disconnection? Through two viral fashion headlines: the "deadly" Zara palazzo pants, and the Zac Posen x Gap collab, we get into personal responsibility, how we've become the "naked" generation, how fast fashion tricks our senses, and what it means to grow up disconnected from our garment heritage. Exploring culture, belonging, and why fast fashion keeps winning even when we know better.
