"Last week, the ultrafast fashion brand Princess Polly received B Corp
certification. This certification is designed to accredit for-profit businesses
that provide social impact and environmental benefit.

Established on the Gold Coast in 2010, a 50% stake in Princess Polly was
acquired by United States-based A.K.A. Brands in 2018.

Since then, it has grown its global reach as a low-cost, high-turnover online
retailer.

So can ultrafast fashion ever be sustainable?"
