Keyu Hou, A professor at Shandong, in his academic article "Bass-Modeling for Fast Fashion Lady’s Shoes Based on Consumer Behavior" argues that the Bass modeling approach can effectively predict consumer purchasing behavior throughout a product's life cycle. In a case study, Hou et al. found that the correlations between consumer attention, fitting, and sales data were significant, indicating that these factors can predict sales of fast-fashion products. Hou et al.'s objective was to develop a reliable model for predicting sales based on consumer behavior factors in order to enhance managerial strategies in the fast-fashion industry. Given that the Bass modeling approach can effectively predict consumer purchasing behavior throughout a product's life cycle, Guo's findings support the claim that fast fashion negatively affects the fashion economy in the US.

Willett, J., Saunders, C., Hackney, F., & Hill, K., in their 2022 article, "The affective economy and fast fashion: Materiality, embodied learning and developing a sensibility for sustainable clothing," argue that the emotional and material connections consumers have with clothing can significantly influence sustainable fashion practices. In a qualitative study, Willett et al. found that consumers' embodied experiences and emotional ties to clothing lead to a greater awareness and sensibility towards sustainable clothing choices. Willett et al.'s objective was to explore the affective dimensions of consumer behavior in fast fashion in order to encourage more responsible consumption and promote sustainability in the fashion industry. Given that the emotional connections to clothing can drive sustainable practices, Willett et al.'s findings support the claim that fast fashion negatively affects the fashion economy in the US.

Katja,Simoncic, Researcher of Criminology, argues in her academic article "Fast Fashion: A Case of Social Harm and State-Corporate Crime" highlights the pervasive social harms perpetuated by powerful corporate entities in the fashion industry. In a qualitative analysis, Simoncic showed that the fast fashion industry contributes significantly to social harm through inadequate labor protections and environmental degradation. Simoncic's objective was to critically examine the intersection of crime and social harm in order to advocate for greater accountability and reform within the fashion industry. Given that the fast fashion industry is characterized by exploitative labor practices and environmental neglect, Simoncic's findings support the claim that fast fashion negatively affects the fashion economy in the US.

instead of using different POVs, because every source is against fast fashion, ill use the differences and similarities in the source's opinions.
