Factual Friday: Fast Fashion
Fast fashion is a term I’ve heard thrown around a lot in the past few years and it’s an issue that makes me feel quite conflicted. For people (like myself) who don’t have a huge clothing budget, fast fashion becomes a more nuanced issue. On one hand, fast fashion is undeniably harmful to the environment and brings up questions of a moral work environment. On the other hand, fast fashion strikes the perfect balance between practical and budget friendly. So let’s dive in, ladies! Factual Friday: Fast Fashion edition awaits us! Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, fast fashion, as defined by merriam-webster.com is, “ an approach to the design, creation, and marketing of clothing fashions that emphasizes making fashion trends quickly and cheaply available to consumers.” In plain English, that just means cheaply made, quickly produced, trendy clothes. Think Forever 21, H&M, Zara, etc. (Photo credit to Valeriia Miller from pexels.com) You may be thinking to you
