Fast Fashion

Fast fashion is a term used to describe a highly responsive approach to fashion retailing, where clothing designs move quickly from catwalk to stores to meet new trends. The model is characterized by short production cycles and low pricing strategies, aimed at encouraging consumers to buy more items more frequently. Fast fashion retailers like Zara, H&M, and Forever 21 are known for their ability to rapidly produce new collections, often in response to the latest fashion trends and consumer demands. While fast fashion has been praised for democratizing fashion and providing affordable options, it has also faced criticism for its environmental impact.
