A Rant About Fashion

John Oliver tells it like it is on the HBO show Last Week Tonight. Contains HBO language.

On a related subject, you’ll enjoy the short film Unravel. When we discard clothing, those items sometimes go to others through charity or thrift stores, or sometimes to domestic recyclers. But a lot of old clothing from First World nations goes to India, where garment recyclers turn them into something useful. Along the way, the workers speculate on the garments’ original owners, which is hilarious. Unravel is an award-winning short film by director Meghna Gupta that shows what happens after you no longer want that shirt, dress, or sweater. Fifteen minutes long, in Hindi with English subtitles.
