FROM FAST FASHION TO SLOW FASHION

Fast fashion is an industry that capitalizes on the ever quick and changing fashion trends of our society. To keep up with the demand, many fast fashion corporations find themselves adopting certain practices that have generated a significant amount of environmental and social concerns. However, in a society that endorses the constant grooming of oneself into an image that fits the look of a particular group, corporations are not willing to let this opportunity for great profit go to waste. This paper will first examine the effects of the fashion industry on the environment in general, analyze the ideas of corporate social responsibility and moral obligations, and argue that the bettering of the fashion industry through concepts of sustainability and social responsibility will result in a net positive in the relationship between a business, its shareholders, consumers, and will overall benefit society by promoting a morally good agenda.
