Introduction to Fast Fashion

Fast fashion refers to the practice of clothing manufacturers quickly replicating trendy looks and designs from fashion shows or celebrity fashion and mass producing them as quickly and cheaply as possible. The goal is to sell the clothes before the trend dies off. However, this practice has negative environmental impacts, including high turnover of cheaply made clothes, contributing to pollution and waste.
