Impact Insider: Fast Fashion
Fast fashion isn’t just churning out clothes. It mirrors our own cravings for the latest styles, tangled up in how we see ourselves, our wallets, and our planet.
March 4, 2024
Ever wonder why we get sucked into fast fashion? It’s cheap, it’s trendy, and it’s everywhere. But as we all know, it’s not great for our planet.
So we do we keep going back?
Let’s chat about it. This isn’t your usual finger-wagging about fast fashion’s downsides. Instead, we’re taking a deep dive into the “whys” behind it and how changing our view on what’s truly valuable could turn things around for our wardrobe and the world.
The real price of fast fashion isn’t on the tag—it’s in the environmental toll, the ethical shortcuts, and how we’ve drifted from cherishing longevity and craftsmanship. Shifting from chasing the next big thing to cherishing quality and sustainability could be our first step in untangling ourselves from fast fashion’s grip.
