What is fast fashion and its impact?

Fast fashion is an industry-based on producing and selling cheap, trendy clothing at a rapid pace. It is characterized by a business model that prioritizes speed, low cost, and quick turnaround time. Fast fashion has become the norm in the fashion industry, contributing to a culture of overconsumption, waste, and environmental degradation. The industry's rapid production and disposal of clothing have resulted in significant negative impacts on the environment, workers' rights, and the economy. Fast fashion companies prioritize profit over ethical and sustainable production practices, leading to environmental damage, exploitation of labor, and poor quality products. The impact of this industry is far-reaching and requires increased awareness and conscious consumer choices to mitigate its effects.
