Hi Karin...It's almost my birthday, I need you to come with me to buy some clothes for that day
Sure, where do you want to go?
I was thinking of going to Zara or Forever 21
Anna...those are a fast fashion stores, do you know what it is?
No, I don't know what is that
Okay, so let me show you...
In 1980's, consumers knew for the first time what cyber technology was, transnational companies and electronic media.
With the help of globalization, the way people dress began to expand all over the world,
And these three innovations changed the way fashion was produced, marketed, sold, bought, used and discarded.
And with the help of technology, online shopping was created that today allows you to buy clothes from the comfort of your home
Fast fashion accelerated its production process and became haute couture fashion at low prices
-50%
Today we throw away more than 16,000 tons of clothes every year, 816% more than 50 years ago.
But not everything is positive, fast fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world
For example: to produce a cotton T-shirt you need about 2,700 liters of water. What makes this sector one of the most polluting for the seas and oceans
