“It’s Collapsing Violently”: Coronavirus Is Creating a Fast Fashion Nightmare https://www.gq.com/story/coronavirus-fast-fashion-dana-thomas https://www.gq.com/

  The idea of "fast fashion" is noxious! All those faddish things worn for a season then to take up space in landfills. I don't think I've found affordable clothes made to last anymore (a good quality wool sweater, maybe?) I can't remember when was the last time I was at the mall, or what was the last thing I really really like to buy to wear.

    Indeed, fast fashion is one of the most wasteful and polluting industries. It's weird how it gets a pass on that. As for clothing and shoes that last, Patagonia is pretty good.

    I don't think quality clothing has ever been cheap. Fabrics like wool and silk are still not cheap and definitely can't be found at a fast fashion store. Another key difference between fast fashion and expensive clothing is simplification of pattern-making.

  Fast Fashion is the nightmare. If we are waking up, all the better.
