Fakta

Fast fashion has transformed the way people buy and consume clothing. With its promise of trendy, affordable garments available almost instantly, it has captivated consumers worldwide. Clothing brands now release new collections at an unprecedented pace, fueling a culture of constant shopping and disposal. While this rapid turnover may seem harmless, the reality behind the industry is far from glamorous. Beneath the surface lies an unsettling truth—one of exploitation, environmental destruction, and unsustainable consumption.

The rise of fast fashion is closely tied to globalization and technological advancements that have enabled companies to produce clothing more quickly and at lower costs. Retail giants capitalize on consumer demand for cheap and stylish apparel, often at the expense of ethical labor practices and environmental responsibility. Factories in developing countries operate under poor conditions, with garment workers enduring long hours and meager wages. In some cases, child labor and forced labor are hidden within the supply chain, ensuring that prices remain low while profits soar.

Beyond the human toll, fast fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. The production of synthetic fabrics releases harmful microplastics into the environment, while textile dyeing contaminates water sources with toxic chemicals. The industry's reliance on nonrenewable resources, excessive water consumption, and high carbon emissions contribute significantly to climate change. Meanwhile, the culture of disposable fashion exacerbates the problem, with millions of tons of clothing ending up in landfills each year.
