#58 - Why We're Just Saying No to Heroin Chic

ICYMI, last month the New York Post published an article claiming that the worst fashion trend of the 1990s & 2000s was making a comeback - heroin chic. If you lived through this the first time, you probably recall how damaging & shaming this trend was, and you might have felt more than a little traumatized by seeing this headline pop up. So this week, we're breaking down all the reasons why we're never going back to heroin chic. We're talking about our own experiences of this trend the first time around; how beauty trends are used as distractions, and who benefits from those distractions; why these trends are political and disproportionately harm folks who are already politically and socially marginalized; and how we, as consumers, can learn to think critically about body types being sold to us as trends.
