IMPACTS AND SOLUTION OF FAST FASHION



 IMPACT OF FAST FASHION 

  • Fast fashion’s impact on the planet is huge. Fast fashion’s negative impact includes its use of cheap, toxic textile dyes—making the fashion industry the second largest polluter of clean water globally after agriculture.
  • Cheap textiles also increase fast fashion’s impact.



  • The constant speed and demand means there is also increasing stress on other environmental concerns such as land clearing, biodiversity, and soil quality.
  • The speed at which garments are produced also means that more and more clothes are disposed of by consumers, creating a huge amount of textile waste.
  • As well as the environmental cost of fast fashion, there’s a human cost.



  • Finally, fast fashion can impact consumers themselves, encouraging the “throw-away” culture because of both the built-in obsolescence of the products, and the speed at which trends are produced. Fast fashion makes us believe we need to shop more and more to stay on top of trends, creating a constant sense of need and ultimate dissatisfaction.



  • The real issue with fast fashion is the speed at which it is produced, putting a huge pressure on people and the environment. Recycling and small eco or vegan clothing ranges (when they are not only for greenwashing) are not enough to counter the “throw-away culture”, the waste, the strain on natural resources, and the myriad of other issues created by fast fashion. The whole system needs to be changed.






WHAT CAN WE DO?

 

"BUY LESS, CHOOSE WELL, MAKE IT LAST "- Vivienne Westwood

  • Creating a capsule wardrobe.
  • Choosing an eco-friendly fabric.
  • Wear the clothes until they are worn out.




While there is a growing support for Slow Fashion, there is still a long way to go. To really support the Slow Fashion movement, we need to be a part of the growing movement of people looking beyond the “appeal” of the cheap, high turnover of fast fashion. We can maintain awareness of what a brand is really representing and focus on quality, not quantity by simplifying our wardrobes.

So, be the follower of slow fashion movement and save billions of lives and the earth too.







Thank you:)

FAST FASHION

  WHAT IS FAST FASHION ? Fast fashion can be defined as cheap, trendy clothing, that samples ideas from the catwalk or celebrity culture and turns them into garments in high street stores at breakneck speed to meet consumer demand. The idea is to get the newest styles on the market as fast as possible, so shoppers can snap them up while they are still at the height of their popularity, and then, sadly, discard them after a few wears.  It forms a key part of the toxic system of overproduction and consumption that has made fashion one of the largest polluters in the world. HOW DID FAST FASHION HAPPEN ? Before the 1800s, fashion was slow. You had to source your own materials like wool or leather, prepare them, weave them, and then make the clothes. The Industrial Revolution introduced new technology—like the sewing machine. Clothes became easier, quicker, and cheaper to make. Dressmaking shops emerged to cater for the middle classes. Before the 1800s, fashion was slow. You had to source y
