is fashion sustainable?
Now I know that most runway shows ether get turned into a purchasable collection or go into a museum. For the museum option I’m of the opinion that I can be if done right. I obviously think art and museums have their place but I think if you make your art out of plastic or plastic like material it won’t be sustainable. Polyester and plastic don’t break down over time and after people inevitably don’t care about the art and it gets thrown out that dress can go on to pollute the environment for centuries to come.
The collections for purchase on the other hand are usually more sustainable but it promotes overconsumption. Fashion in general has this problem. You must have the latest style or you’re ugly and poor. Obviously couture lines don’t promote this as much as places like shien and temu but they still make the trends and are part of the problem.
Fast fashion is the main problem. With fast moving treads and the internet promoting overconsumption it makes it easy to fall into the trap of these companies. Cheap bad clothes made with essentially slave labour. These clothes are also made with polyester most time and when the people who buy hauls of shien and temu clothes throw them out for the next haul they will sit in a landfill or the ocean and just exist for years.

Fast Fashion
Today, it is easier than ever to buy a new top. It may be cheap and have a fast delivery time, but at what cost? Online shopping platforms such as shein and temu are just a couple of the many brands that are contributing to the rising problem of fast fashion. Quick and cheap are the two things people look for when shopping online. These factors however, contribute to the rising questions about whether fast fashion does more harm than good to our environment and its workers, and if it is a sustainable way of making the clothes we wear.
Fast fashion is more of a concept that has been taken over by many companies, a way to sell lots of clothes quickly at a low cost for them. Many brands such as Shien, H&M, Zara and many more popular brands use fast fashion as a way to make a profit. Many ways they do this is creating a fashion trend and mass producing a product, usually influenced by social media and influencers. These clothes are designed and made quickly for consumption and replacement.
This raises an issue of are these trends existing to simply be a trend or to help these companies to generate more profit? I will use shien as an example. They use factories with underpaid workers in less than ideal working conditions to create lots of cheap replicas of popular clothing items. The idea that cheap clothes are better as everyone can buy them, provides a snake of freedom and choice for the consumer, but the clothes are not made to last. Companies such as Shien use fast fashion as a way to make a profit. This shows the qualities of a capitalist view, and it works because people keep buying it. It is mainly based on materialism, consumerism and capitalism.
Fast fashion thrives on the system where the exploitation of its workers is woven through the clothes we wear, using underpaid labour and poor work conditions as an example as they produce their products. Pushing beyond the industry's model that prioritizes profit over people and the planet, is a way that a socialist perspective is shown here. The socialist view urges people to rethink how the clothes/ items are made, distributed and and are striving for the fast fashion industry to change their system and create a new system where fairness, sustainability and dignity are portrayed.
Conscious consumption is one of the main causes of a decrease in fast fashion. Instead of just buying it because it's cheap, these people question the process, the workers, and the environmental issues that come with fast fashion. Mass pollution from the factories and the cheaply made clothes that end up in a pile at a landfill. Also the poor labour conditions are an objection to many activist groups. These problems can cause conscious consumers to stop purchasing these items, and create a loss in revenue for the companies, but is that a bad thing?
The role that consumers play in the fast fashion industry is the main thing keeping the industry afloat. However, as the industry is oligopoly, there will always be another empire just waiting to be re-built on top of the ashes of the past. So is it worth it?
What do y'all do if you get a gift bought from shien or temu? I usually never use them or end up taking it apart for something else (ie chains, pendants, hooks, ect).
Silk is the shien of the bug world
