'fast fashion' is not the same as utter garbage unless you just want to be a snob about things. People buy stuff from Ikea non-stop and it is perfectly ok to have 'fast fashion'.
- JohnFen 4y agoIt's not a snob thing at all. Fast fashion is a euphemism for cheap disposable clothes. That part of the clothing industry is extremely harmful both environmentally and in terms of human decency.
- waboremo 4y agoIt's the complete disregard for environmental (and labor) impact that defines fast fashion. Nobody would care if fast fashion was just about it being cheap or disposable. You can argue Ikea has had huge environmental impact, but you are commenting under an article that highlights some of the ways they're reducing that through materials.
- JAlexoid 4y agoMy classmates in university worked part time at an IKEA subcontractor. They had probably the best working conditions in the market. Your "knowledge" of IKEAs business practices is "lacking"
- JohnFen 4y agoIt is indeed -- which is why I wasn't commenting on their business practices. I was only commenting on my experience with their products.
