What does fast fashion mean?
It means buying clothes and only wearing them a few times before buying more clothes
Why fast fashion is being blamed for contributing to global warming?
Because discarded clothes are piling up in landfill site, and fibre fragments are flowing into the sea when clothes are washed
Why fast fashion is more and more popular nowadays?
Firstly, clothes today are relatively cheaper than before. A lot of clothing production got outsourced in developing country like Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and China. So the fast fashion industry constantly looking to undercut competitors, and with that clothes getting cheaper, cheaper and cheaper.
Secondly, it's our obsession with shopping and fashion. The feeling that you can't be seen in the same thing twice, it really stems from social media, particularly. It's called the social pressure. And the availability of cheap clothes means it's possible to post new images of yourself wearing new clothes very regularly.
