The Stitchess | π What is Fast Fashion? π @TheStitchess | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
What is fast fashion? So many of us talk about boycotting or reducing the consumption of fast fashion products - but what exactly is it? Fast Fashion is a business model that exists within the greater fashion industry. It utilizes exploitative labor practices in order to quickly produce cheap garments that are meant to be viewed as disposable. This is bad for fashion, bad for our wallets, and bad for the planet. I hope you will join me in this yearβs Fashion Revolution Week to educate ourselves and others, as well as take action to voice our concerns.
Hi! I'm The Stitchess! I'm an interdisciplinary artist and seamstress. I started sewing when I was 8 and loved it so much I made it the focus of my study in college. After a lifetime of battling severe mental health issues - I found healing in the radical softness and Japanese kawaii communities. As much as I love fashion and clothing, I also think it's important to consider how and where clothing is made. I went fast fashion free at the start of 2019 to voice my concerns over the rapid consumerism gripping the garment industry. By no means am I perfect, but I think it's important to show that change is a process. I believe it is always important to strive to be better, even if perfection is unattainable. Thank you so much for letting me share my art and process with you. I hope we can all grow together.
