Episode 47 - Fast Fashion, Animal Testing and Ethical Production

In this episode, Elisha sits down with co-producer George for the first time this season, to have a deep unpick of all things fast fashion. They unpick fast fashion practices including cheap and environmentally UN-friendly materials, as well as lax labour regulations and outsourcing. They also look at animal cruelty and testing in the makeup and beauty industry, as well as up cycling and ethical methods of production and manufacturing. Next week, we'll be taking your questions for the first time again this season. Email [email protected] or DM us on insta @thebeautyinbeingreal to submit yours!
