I could have been clearer in specifically condemning "fast fashion" rather than the high end (though I think the condemnation of that segment was also implied).

I could have been clearer in specifically condemning "fast fashion" rather than the high end (though I think the condemnation of that segment was also implied). The reason I called out high-fashion is that it sets the trends and expectations for the rest of the industry. H&M and the like model their lines based on what the high end fashion industry says is in-vogue. They change this every season for no good reason other than to drive (false) demand at the mid and high end. Other than that, nothing you wrote contradicts anything I wrote. Automobiles, travel and single use plastics are also valid issues but that's not the focus of this thread.
