Aeropostale is Bankrupt, American Apparel + Small Business, Getting Through Burnout Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week, we're wondering why Alibaba got invited to join an anti-counterfeit group — and why companies are ditching their memberships. Aeropostale filed for Chapter 11, and Zara might have ripped off the latest Yeezy collection. American Apparel is trying to up its "made in America" offerings, and a new initiative has big plans for all the clothing left at the dry cleaner. Our main topic this week is getting through temporary burnout. How do you keep going when you can (barely) see the light at the end of the hardship tunnel? Come hang out!

Summer Olympics Uniforms, Victoria's Secret's Next Fashion Move, Fashion as Art This week on Pop Fashion, is Victoria's Secret ending its line of swimwear? Diane von Furstenberg said some shocking things about the fashion industry, and South Korea has an interesting plan for its Olympics uniforms. The political climate in China is changing, and it's time to start thinking about how it impacts the fashion industry. Meanwhile, Forever 21 is allegedly having a hard time paying its bills, and a store in England is introducing a quiet hour for autistic shoppers. Our main topic this week is the intersection of Fashion and Art. With the Met Gala fresh on our minds, how does fashion fit into museums? Is it easy to call fashion art, or are we trying to fit a square peg into a round hole? Come hang out!
