Discussing poor core, also known as the poverty chic aesthetic, how it’s appeared in many forms throughout fashion history and the phenomenon of the rich paying exorbitant amounts of money for distressed, dirty clothing in their desperation to look cool. Talking about the online cancellation of the fashion brand Magnolia Pearl for their hobo inspired clothing and looking into their ethics and sustainability practices as a company.
