Jennifer Horgan: We must take swift action against sequin dresses and fast fashion

Jennifer Horgan: We must take swift action against sequin dresses and fast fashion

 Taylor Swift at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Swift could do a lot worse than take a stance against sequins, and while she’s at it, she could also stop flying on private jets, and she could stop selling vinyl records made with unrecyclable plastics, and stop disproportionally contributing to the death of our planet.

It’s official. 2023 is the year of the sequin.

Stores are bursting with flashy, sparkly, plastic little discs and Ireland is turning itself into one giant gyrating human disco ball for Christmas. It’s lovely for us, for the week or two that’s in it.
