POLITICAL: A statement from VS’s chief marketing officer Ed Razek made around transgender and plus size models not being included in the VS fashion show as the show is a ‘fantasy’ and they are not part of it. This got a lot of hate and backlash. VS released a range under the slogan Bright Young Things which features  tops and thongs with the slogans “Enjoy the view”, “Wild”,  “Call Me” and “Now or Never”. VS boss claimed the range let 15 and 16 year old girls be “older” which has sparked controversy between parents who are accusing VS of “sexualising our daughters” and “making it hard to raise wholesome children”. This is the first time they’ve been pulled up for there target audience being too young.

First half of my zine Looking into the historical context of fast fashion Looking into the triangle shirtwaist factory fire and what proceeded because of that horrible incident. Why its still relevant today and how it still to this day impacts our lives. It was a tragedy that opened the nations eyes to how truly awful the working conditions in garment factories was.  Activists and labor unions like the International Ladies Garment Workers Union were at the forefront of this push for reforms. In1911 New York State did the most thorough investigation of factory conditions in U.S history. This bought new standards of workers rights throughout the country and has since been built up over many years. Although from looking at this fire and researching the horrific conditions these migrant workers were put you might think we’ve come such a long way, but your very much mistaken as we still have such a long way to go. For example a more recent event was the 2013 garment factory collapse in
