Fast fashion describes cheap, stylish, mass-produced clothes that have a huge impact on the environment. These garments appeal to shoppers because they are affordable and trendy. However, they aren't built to last and quickly go out of style, and because they're also relatively cheap, these clothes are often quickly discarded, piling up in landfills.
In addition to environmental issues, fast fashion garments spark a lot of ethical concerns. They are often made by underpaid workers who are employed for long hours in unsafe conditions and are exposed to harmful chemicals used in textile production.
