Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Rows of shoes at H&M. Author Dana Thomas says mass produced clothing like this is an environmental disaster.
It’s easier than ever to buy cheap clothes that are stylish — even designer knock offs.

Dana Thomas’ new book is “Fashionopolis: The Price of Fashion and the Future of Clothes.”
