As a result of the pandemic, the cost of global shipping has risen sharply. Nate Herman from the American Apparel and Footwear Association represents some of the world's biggest brands in clothing and shoes, and discusses the potential impact on shoppers in the run-up to Christmas. And Peter Wilson, managing director of Cory Brothers, which has been arranging sea shipping for more than 170 years, tells us what's behind the recent price hikes.
Also in the programme, the 大象传媒's Laura Heighton-Ginns examines the growth of fake designer goods, or "dupes", which have become so readily available that they have generated a fashion trend of their own, and are being showcased by social media influencers.
Plus, as the outcome of this year's Booker Prize for fiction is announced, we ask Claire Armitstead, associate editor for culture at The Guardian, how much of an impact it can have on a winner's career.
