Lexy Silverstein Advocates Against Fast Fashion Giant SHEIN

SHEIN’s Offer to a Sustainable Fashion Advocate. Oh The Irony

All Posts, Sustainability / By

In a twist that could only be described as ironic, I, a vocal advocate for sustainable fashion, received an email from SHEIN, the fast fashion giant, asking “me” to collaborate with them. The email read:

“Good day! We at SHEIN are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest clothing brand, and we couldn’t help but notice your exceptional style and passion for fashion. After carefully reviewing your profile, we believe you possess the qualifications for an exciting collaboration with us.”

What the what????

All Posts, Sustainability / By

Once upon a time, Forever 21 was the ultimate fast fashion empire—trendy, affordable, and absolutely everywhere. You could roll into one of their way-too-bright stores, grab a $10 dress that kind of looked like something straight off a designer runway, and feel like you just hacked fashion. But now?

Confessions of a Former Fast Fashion Shopper

Confessions of a Former Fast Fashion Shopper. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. I am a bit of a shopaholic. Guilty!

And yes I was super guilty of supporting fast fashion by shopping at places like H&M, Zaful, & Shein, just to name a few of the offenders. It all started when I was young at Justice, remember that store?

In my defense, I was clueless. Of course, in the court of law, ignorance of a law is no excuse and doesn’t mean you aren’t “guilty”.
