People used to shop during the season change or when they outgrew what they already had. Then an era came where clothes became cheaper and trends started changing. People could now easily afford the clothes worn by their favourite celebrity."

"The Fashion Industry is huge! These days one out of six people work in the Fashion Industry. Most of these people live in developing countries. Companies like Forever 21 and H&M promised to provide jobs to these people. But the reality is that the fashion industries have been exploiting its workers. They have come under fire for things from Child Labour to forcing its workers to handle hazardous chemical agents. They underpay their workers and make them work for hours without a break."

Never ones to miss a sales opportunity, coronavirus has provided the fashion industry with new innovative ways to sell people even more products, at the potentially deadly expense of their workers. The investigation is extraordinary, sources range from factory workers themselves to the owners who all say the same thing, in order to produce such cheap clothing, exploitation is required."

"There is no redemption for fast fashion, no alternative ethical model in which workers rights are prioritised."
