This week on The BoF Podcast, labour rights activist Kalpona Akter and chief sustainability correspondent Sarah Kent reflect on how fashion has changed a decade on from Rana Plaza. Sales of parachute and cargo pants are booming as the style is adopted by Gen-Z consumers thanks to their Y2K aesthetic.
