Last night I heard a story on NPR about the Chinese fast-fashion store, Shein, is opening a boutique at BHV in Paris.  The French, of course, were upset, but what surprised me about the story is that one of the French speakers they interviewed used the term "Fast Fashion" rather than "Depeche Mode."

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
