 FASHION NEEDS AND CONSUMPTION

 - Society point of view


Why does the industry consume at such an exponential rate? For starters, it can.

 

The industry has developed a norm referred to as ‘Fast Fashion. Which are garments designed to reflect current industry trends, produced in large volumes quickly and cheaply. Brands and retailers that operate within the fast fashion lens use less expensive materials and outsource production to ensure price tags are desirably low.


What is Fast Fashion's Social Impact?



97% of fast fashion is produced overseas in developing countries with poor labor laws and human rights protections.

Evidence of forced and child labor employed by the fashion industry in countries like Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Turkey, Vietnam (US Department of Labor).

Dangerous working conditions: factory fires, accidents and collapses are incredibly dangerous to garment workers. 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh killed over 1100 workers.

The clothing industry employs 40-75 million people. 80% is made by young women, who frequently face terrible conditions and abuse.

Garment workers in third world countries such as Bangladesh make unlivable wages.

Let's watch a video to know about the title  So this documentary contains piles of knowledge in it and facts that are unknown to so many people outside . 80 Billion garments are manufactured every year. Out of 80 billion garments , 80% of the garments end up into landfills and the rest are reused and recycled further .
