The article discusses the implications of fast fashion, which, while providing cheap clothing, is rooted in exploitative labor conditions and significant environmental damage. Workers in the Global South endure low wages and unsafe environments, while the textile industry contributes heavily to pollution. In response, slow fashion encourages sustainable practices and fair wages, raising questions about its accessibility to all consumers. The article explores whether individual consumer choices can catalyze genuine change, or if a broader systemic overhaul of the industry is necessary.
