I feel like for fast fashion specifically, this is a move in entirely the wrong direction.
Fashion trends change quickly, a lot of people buy clothes with full intentions of wearing them for a couple weeks until they’re out of style and then just throw them away. Making fast fashion to last years is putting more valuable materials in the dump. Without a major change in peoples buying habits, it’s just making things worse.
- uxcolumbo 5y agoIf the quality goes up - prices will probably have to go up as well, which means potential behavioral change, i.e. can't buy clothes every 2 weeks anymore.
- donatj 5y agoSo let the lower classes eat cake when it comes to fashion?
- uxcolumbo 5y agoWhy is it necessary to buy clothes every 2 weeks and then throw them away after wearing them once? Certain externalities (e.g. environmental destruction) are not priced into these products - so it's about time that these fast fashion companies are being stopped from exploiting loopholes. Maybe this will encourage folks to use 2nd hand markets more, like Vinted or Deepop etc.
- ivanche 5y agoWell that was the idea behind this, right? To make todays "fast fashion" tomorrows "slow fashion".
