Fast fashion, as it exists today st

Fast fashion, as it exists today strikes no such balance. Indeed it is largely disconnected from reality – with little recognition of poverty wages, forced overtime and climate change. With no recognition of the fact that we are now less happy than our parents and our grandparents even though we own more stuff. Slow fashion in contrast, is produced and consumed differently to fast fashion. The shift from quantity to quality takes the pressure off time. It allows suppliers to plan orders, predict the numbers of workers needed and invest in the longer term. It gives companies time to build mutually beneficial relationships. No longer will suppliers have to employ temporary workers, subcontracted workers or force workers to do excessive overtime to meet unpredictable orders with impossible deadlines. Workers will have secure employment with predictable hours and opportunity for promotion.
