During December 2019 and January 2020, this article was improved by students at Bath Spa University as part of a Digital Citizenship module. There is a course page on the Outreach Dashboard or you can contact User:MartinPoulter with any questions. |
The article includes a list of brands that supposedly fall into this category. However, the vast majority of this list is unsourced and this raises concerns of original research. I would like to ask, also, if the definition of fast fashion is subjective. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:01, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
The lead section is okay, it would be better if both a negative impact (such as the negative impact it has on the environment) and a positive impact (such as hiring more workers and more affordable clothing for lower class families) was added into the lead. This will help start the article off very neutral because it would address both negative and positive impacts of fast fashion. The structure of this article is clear for the most part, it goes into detail of many things that are branched from fast fashion. This article would benefit from adding more images such as famous people that are promoting fast fashion (by wearing their clothes and posting in it), and pictures of the amount of clothes being produced.
This article would benefit from adding more images such as famous people that are promoting fast fashion (by wearing their clothes and posting in it), and pictures of the amount of clothes being produced. There are many good sources linked to this article. However, it would be good to go into more detail about certain sections such as the recycling section. The article should add spomething about the amount of plastic packaging that isn't ending up in recycle bins; it's ending up in our oceans and places it shouldn't be.
This article is solid for the most part, but can be improved with some changes.

Question: Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
When discussing planned obsolescence in the Overconsumption section, the source referenced is The Economist[1] This source is recorded as having a political alignment following "Economic Liberalism", "Radical Centrism", and "Social Liberalism". The article does not mention the bias or political alignment of the source. This means the source contains bias and is therefore not a reliable source. Kkellywhite (talk) 05:08, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure what time period this references - the mid-aughts? It looks like it's saying mid-21st century, i.e. 2050 - 2060? Morphidae (talk) 03:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

In 2021, it was estimated that the global textile industry produced 92 million tons of textile waste annually, with the majority of discarded garments ending up in landfills or incinerated, further contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation.

Zara, a massive worldwide clothing retailer and trailblazer of 'fast fashion' fundamentals give verification concerning the diversity of ways in which retailers source worldwide. There's the presumption in light of the current seminal shift within the culture of design from haute couture and ready-to-wear to fast fashion, and report that the expanded diversity and fashionability related to design, represented on behalf of Zara, have shifted the ultimate balance of competitive advantage particularly. Resource firms in nations such as Morroco, India, and Turkey have picked up the competence to manufacture unique high-quality pieces of clothing with the desired mobility, and at great speeds, the company Zara has turned to source from these nations.

"In recent years, fast fashion retailers have taken on a new approach to reach their consumers. Initially, social media's sole purpose was to act as a platform that allowed people to connect with other users around the world. However, people started to realize that there is more to social media than just sharing pictures with your family and friends. Social media has become a way for retailers to promote their products and impact consumer behavior."
It doesn't seem necessary to me to describe what social media's initial role was, and the phrase "people started to realise that there is more to social media than just sharing pictures with your family and friends". At the absolute least that should read "their" rather "your". But, further, I reckon the entire thing could just be shortened to "fast fashion retailers have taken to using social media to promote their products or influence consumer behavior" or something like that.

The sections on recycling and design solutions are not super relevant. They are very poorly cited and they can't be backed up very well. They also contain information that comes off as greenwashing. The section on design solutions is almost copies from the source. These practices it recommends are not common industry practices and don't have any backup. A better use of this article would be to cover greenwashing and link to the sustainable fashion article many more times, where the solutions are laid out more realistically.
