Fast fashion vs. Trump: why women may pay more in the tariff wars

At the beginning of the year, Brittany spoke to ELLE Fashion Features Director and author , Véronique Hyland , about the growing trend of underconsumption content online . No-Buy January, buying secondhand, and mending old clothes seemed to be taking hold amongst some of the most popular influencers - even though the guiding principle of underconsumption is something we've been doing for a long time.

Then, Trump started implementing tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada - and now even the European Union . That made Brittany think: how would fast fashion be affected by this?

And would underconsumption move from a hashtag to a lifestyle? To find out, The Indicator's Wailin Wong joins the show to break down how tariffs will affect Americans who love to shop... when the prices drop.
