Teenagers are embracing clothing swaps and a resurgence of traditional crafts like sewing and knitting, signaling a shift towards a more hands-on approach to fashion. This younger generation seeks to reconnect with craftsmanship, moving away from the digital world and its fast-paced consumption. While the argument for low-wage garment jobs persists, the reality is that many workers remain trapped in poverty, highlighting the need for better, safer employment opportunities in the industry.
