Four clothing businesses that could lead us away from the horrors of fast fashion

-
  It makes no sense to keep exploiting natural resources to feed an ever-consuming market, but this remains the nature of high-street fashion. Resources are finite – as is the space for landfill – but too often clothes shopping is about buying cheap soulless garments that end up being thrown away and not recycled. The modern fashion business is frequently about forgettable commodities that exist solely for the sake of consumption. And in 2020,  online sales grew  at their fastest rate since 2007. Given that online shopping returns  often end up  in landfill without even making it to anyone’s wardrobe, this looks like a step in the wrong direction. Many argue  that, after the pandemic, we need to shift towards a circular economy in which waste and pollution are removed from the system. Here, then, are four examples of clothing businesses that have been using lockdown to put this ideal into practice.

Fashion industry

Fashion industry , multibillion-dollar global enterprise devoted to the business of making and selling clothes. Some observers distinguish between the fashion  industry  (which makes “high fashion”) and the apparel industry (which makes ordinary clothes or “mass fashion”), but by the 1970s the boundaries between them had blurred.  Fashion  is best defined simply as the style or styles of clothing and accessories worn at any given time by groups of people.

How fashion rules the world

-
  In the 21st century the style  trends of the fashion industry  dominate the world more than they ever did, and control not only the way people dress but also trends in home ware design, makeup fashion and people’s overall attitudes. In the 60s flower power did not only mean flares and tunics, it summed up the whole attitude of a generation, and this is even more prominent today. Nowadays, fashion is bold and daring, and this reflects a  noughties generation  that is not afraid to say what they think, or wear what they want. Fashion is not just a means of clothing your body, it is the essence of your personality and beliefs, and designers are well aware of the power they hold. Designers’  predictions and designs  for the coming season are more hotly anticipated than any other revelation in the world.  Trends in fashion  unify women and men around the world, yet they still allow people the ability to portray their own individual style at the same time.

This guide represents a selection of the many resources in the Library of Congress that may be useful for the study of the business aspects of fashion. It includes all aspects of fashion - clothes, shoes, bags, accessories. It also includes suggested subject headings which interested researchers may select to link directly to our online catalog in order to search for additional materials on this topic. Also, since keeping up with the fast pace of change is an ongoing process in the "here today, gone tomorrow" fashion industry, we have have included a number of related external resources. Using traditional trade literature and web portals, as well as reports from research groups is essential as a way to find the more general articles and reports but it may be even more important to find reports and articles that look at a particular segment, niche market, situation, or trend so we have included a few links to various web sites that may also be of interest. winter collection A
