What is fast fashion and why is it problematic?

Fast fashion is a model of rapid, low-cost production of inferior quality clothing, responding quickly to fashion trends.

It is problematic because it leads to massive overproduction, generating textile waste and excessive use of unsustainable resources such as water and energy. This model encourages rapid and frequent consumption, which increases waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, fast fashion contributes to precarious working conditions in developing countries where the clothing is often manufactured.
