Do you really know? [ANTI-CONSUMERISM] What is Fast Fashion?
November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption.
Fast fashion is to fashion what fast food is to dining. That is to say a poor-quality imitation, which everybody criticises but still nevertheless consumes! Adopted by many clothing brands, this strategy consists of regularly bringing out new collections and offering low-price items. Customers are therefore encouraged to buy new clothes almost constantly.
This all seems rather bleak, so what can we do? What is the solution, to stop wearing clothes and turn to naturism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
