Fast fashion has never been faster. And thanks to social media, new trends can emerge, go viral and disappear in a matter of days, encouraging consumers to constantly refresh their wardrobes.

Yet amid the endless cycle of buying and scrolling, a growing number of Gen Zs are embracing a different approach. From thrifting and clothing swaps to upcycling and second-hand shopping, sustainable fashion is finding new life among young consumers.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Lumin Hew, Founder of Fashion Parade to find out why more youths are advocating for sustainable fashion, and can sustainable fashion truly compete with the appeal of fast-changing trends.

The Agenda: Why sustainable fashion is becoming first choice for Gen Z

The United States and Iran have signed an interim agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

But even as hopes rise for a return to normal trade, tensions are emerging over Iran's plan to charge ships transit fees for passing through the strait. US President Donald Trump argues such charges violate international law, while major shipping firms warn the move could set a dangerous precedent for global commerce.

Could the end of the conflict spark a new economic showdown? And what would it mean for global shipping, energy markets, inflation, and the prices consumers pay every day?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics, ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific, to find out more.

On What’s Trending today, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar get into something every Singaporean secretly obsesses over — public holidays. With the 2027 calendar now out, we’re looking at 11 public holidays and 5 long weekends to look forward to. But before we get too excited, there’s a catch — three of those public holidays fall on Saturdays, and that’s already sparking the usual debate about whether that feels like a “loss” or just part of the calendar game. How do people actually maximise those precious long weekends, and would you rather spread your breaks across the year or just take one big chunk of time off?
