I graduated with a fashion degree in 1969 and have observed this fast fashion trend coming for quite some time. My younger coworkers were always buying new clothes but not wearing them for very long. I, on the other hand, have clothes that I have been wearing for 15 years.
I'm too poor to buy new clothes for my children or myself. Even Walmart's wranglers are insanely priced Thank God for thrift stores, churches, and the rare kind human family who outgrow their clothes.
depends on where you shop. if uk - sure thing, if in other countries that are not "as good" then we got what was not sold in UK, and then at the bottom of the chain, there's always africa receiving clothes not sellable in any of the european countries..
In my life I have I have never seen a closet full of dresses and such and not seen the price tags on them years later. It is a sickness that sellers exploit. Just like the make up industry.
There are two problems with the designer/high end clothing brands: the designs are either too weird or too dull and the offer for mid range prices is almost non existent. Example: I just came from Paris with high hopes my wife would get something of quality that would be better than the Bershka's of the world. From the whole Galleries Lafayette the only design that we liked was a mini skirt. It had very nice, but thick material, which would make it a pain to wear in high heat. And it was 1000 EUR. For up to 200 EUR we would have bought it, but 1000? I just feel scammed. A similar skirt in terms of design is 20 EUR at most in a fast fashion store. I really hate the quality of fast fashion, but give me the same design and better material at up to 10 times the price, not 50 times the price. There is no alternative for mid range prices with the same designs. And just to be clear, by same designs I mean revealing, very sexy. The more expensive brands catter to an older clientele, who will not buy stuff that you would wear at music festivals. So the fast fashion industry will continue to thrive, unfortunately.
Nothing will change. The world knows this stuff happens yet nothing is changing because the politicians wear the high end clothing. Money is all that matters to the world and that includes about half of y'all who comment about how terrible this is.
Unless and until the consumers change, nothing will change. We all thought COVID would force change, but everything is back to what it was before, or more so.
Men replace clothes when they wear them out, damage them, or get too fat for them. Women and male metros buy clothes just buy clothes and jam up the closets.
Pollution and environmental degradation + health consequences require development of safer organic inputs for textiles, Zara, h&m, pretty little fashion should all commit to this because clearly, fast fashion isnt ending anytime soon
High-fashion for the working poor. Most great everyday/luxury things come from the poor. The poor innovate through lack of resources ❤ Extra clothing could be shipped to slums of India, 3rd world countries or just "recycled" through shelters, foster care, food pantries. The ruling class won't let this happen, as they don't want competition and customers being turned off by copycats. Narcissism and greed at its best, ya'll!
Shipping "extra" clothing overseas, usually without a real cost to the shipper/NGO, is a wonderful way to destroy the local apparel market as it's impossible for local designers, tailors and seamstresses to compete with "free" clothing. So much "fast fashion" is also crappily made with garbage fabric, so, to be really honest, it would be best just to burn it -- but then a lot of it has carcinogens in the materials, too (look for the article on the brickmakers in Bangladesh who are dying of what they are made to burn in their kilns...). I have worked in the industry for 40 years, making custom and bespoke apparel which can be worn for a generation or more, but the industry generally is really truly f***ed up.

I am 32 y.o. and I have clothes that are 10-15 years old. And I am still wearing them!
@@tisa1788 YES, if you pick your clothes wisely and take care of them, they could last a long time 🤗

This need to be stopped. This is sick. How dare those people do this!
Shop at 2nd hand stores. Many times the clothing has never been worn and the tags are still attached.
Ok

Watching you live from Ghana
Another great documentary, thanks from pnw Canada.
Revux's impact on payment could be revolutionary. Glad to be in early!

Try small brands and young designers
Is that where the term SweatShop comes from?

Read label and don't buy viscose or polyester fabric. Otherwise those got to have buyers have an obsessive compulsive disorder.

Revux's roadmap looks promising. Exciting times ahead!
ZARA, Primark, E etc
Been tracking Revux's development. Impressed with the progress!
7 MILLIARDS D' HUMAINS ÇA FAIT GAGNER DE L'ARGENT AUX BANQUES...
the boohoo founder's son response was extremely rude!
Revux's low presale price is a steal. Time to load up!
👍👍👍
Revux's team is top-notch. Expecting big developments soon!
Not just low cost but all fashion is bad polluter and slave labor promoter!
i don’t think more expensive clothes is any different. it’s likely they are made alongside these “fast/cheap” fashion
Revux's whitepaper blew me away. RVX is the future of crypto!
In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Revux's RVX
I dont buy from them.
Seems like clothes for fruits
