Fast fashion is defined as cheap, trendy clothing that companies copy and paste from the newest trend they see on the catwalk or on celebrities They try to get the newest trends on the market as fast as possible while it’s still at the height of its their popularity
Shein, as you already know, is one of the biggest fast fashion brands in the world! Almost every day they release new items on their site and the quality isn't even good!! For these prices you can only imagine how cheap it is to make the garments the workers are paid and treated so poorly that they have literally screamed for help by printing “HELP ME” on the washing instructions!!! How crazy is that? This has to stop and is the reason we need to stop giving these fast fashion companies our money, it is absolutely not worth it just to look good in one picture for Instagram
These brands watch the fashion week runways closely and within a month they got the new, trendy clothes in their stores Where is the logic in that? This process is much longer than this, it doesn’t take a scientist to know that

Companies are in a such a hurry to get their trendy collections in stores that they don’t even care about the quality Toxic textile is increasing, and polyester is one of the most popular fabrics in the industry They even try to trick you into thinking that they are sustainable!! That is what we call Greenwashing

Now you are thinking “what is greenwashing”? Well, we can tell you that! Greenwashing is when fashion companies appear to be more sustainable than they really are Meaning they make false claims about their “sustainable” garments and are vague with the facts Companies like H&M, Zara, and Nike have been called out for their greenwashing

This is such a terrible development and we all need to be aware of it Now is the time to make a change We are the dictators of our future Lets all come together, be informed and make it happen!
