  • can include shoes, apparel, and accessories
  • created to align with designs from runways or celebrity culture 
]]> 2020-08-20 08:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/688881421 How Big is Fast Fashion? jantonio9 https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/688881637 The fast fashion industry is a 36 billion dollar global market (2019). 
Biggest Companies:
  • Zara (world’s largest apparel retailer)
  • H&M
  • Forever21
  • Old Navy
Newer and Popular Companies:
  • Shein/Romwe
Projected to be a 38 billion dollar industry by 2023 and 43 billion by 2029

]]> 2020-08-20 08:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/688881637 How Does Fast Fashion Work? jantonio9 https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/688901735
  • Context: the fashion industry had four seasons a year, in which fashion designers meticulously planned designs prior each season in favor of consumers’ interests –> only higher classes could contribute 
  • Context: 1960s Industrial Revolution –> faster and cheaper production
  • industry now has 52 micro seasons, about a new collection of designs every week (started by Zara)
  • uses modern technology for faster and cheaper production: machines and artificial intelligence 
  • companies shorten their production periods to keep up w/ demand (no less than two weeks — from design to in stores)

  • Forever21 uses “toxic chemicals, dangerous dyes, and synthetic fabrics...” which contaminates water supplies where the clothing is made and washed
  • in the U.S, 11 million tons of clothing is disposed each year and don’t break down –> release of chemicals into atmosphere (large carbon footprint)
  • exposes customers and the environment to large amounts of lead –> extreme health issues

  • workers are severely underpaid (below min. wage)
  • Fashion Nova exploits LA sweatshops
  • sweatshops: workshops or factories that employ underpaid workers under poor and/or illegal working conditions 
  • much of the material used is sourced from the labor of about 1.8 million Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang
  • Uighur Muslims are forced to harvest cotton for supply chains
  • Companies like Lacoste, Nike, Adidas, Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret, The North Face, and H&M profit from Slave Labor (not all fast fashion)
    • ]]>     2020-08-20 09:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/688933865     Thrift Stores jantonio9 https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/689988501
  • reduces the carbon footprint fast fashion has on the atmosphere
  • reduces water footprint
  • uses less energy

    • Limitations: 
    • has recently become less inexpensive due to DePop and other resellers
    - people are buying items from thrift stores and reselling them to the public at higher prices
    - thrift stores are raising prices in response to keep up with competitors
    ]]>     2020-08-20 17:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/689988501     Ethical Brands jantonio9 https://padlet.com/jantonio9/6yeixuz61dj6q9h9/wish/692335675
  • more ethical option is to buy from apparel companies made to be more environmentally stable and ethically sourced like:
    • - Pact (Organic, GOTS Certified, fair trade, eco-friendly)
    - ABLE (Artisan-made in Peru, fair labor practices, B Corp)
    - Alternative Apparel (Sustainable & eco-friendly materials, nontoxic & low-impact dyes, fair labor)

    Limitations: 
    • often times expensive, therefore lower income will have to resort to thrifting
    - if not thrifting then fast fashion, which would ultimately become unethical ("No ethical consumption under capitalism")

  • maybe can look at income disparity between ethnicities/races
  • look at how different generations is affecting the environment through fashion
  • how much impact does the consumer have on relieving environmental degradations? (probably very little) how many people/families would need to contribute to help stop the negative effects of fast fashion?
