What Are The Flaws Of Fast Fashion

Today’s clothing industry in the United States has many flaws, but that doesn’t just apply to fast fashion. High end fashion has become the new rage in the past few decades, yet it hasn’t been put in the spotlight of attack from environmental protectors. These companies are bad for the environment, they don’t care about their workers, and the truth is, designer companies like Gucci and Louis Vuitton are just the same, or even worse, than fast fashion brands.
