The Business of Fast Fashion

Wed, 01 May 2013 19:45:00 -0400

Just watched this video “The Business of Fast Fashion” and HIGHLY recommend it!

http://www.onlinemba.com/blog/business-of-fast-fashion

A small taste:

The fashion industry produces 2 million tons of waste each year, 2.1 million tons of CO2, and 70 million tons of water. Fast fashion and the rapid clothing consumption caused these ballooning waste amounts and most fashion purchases – 2 million tons annually-wind up in the trash within a year or two because they are too low quality to last any longer.

A Changing Trend: After two decades of fast-fashion popularity, many designers are signing on to make a change. Three hundred retailers have signed up to be a part of the sustainable clothing action plan which includes producing, selling, and disposing of waste without damaging the environment and only working with countries with strict labor fairness regulations.

NYC Thrift Haul 1: AuH20

So during my short excursion back to the city I called home (briefly) twice, I knew I needed to hit up the consignment circuit. The Lower East Side offered the most shops in a concentrated area, and Sarah and I felt nostalgic around St. Marks where we used to run amuck at night!

Our greatest joy of the day was found at AuH20. We went berserk. I found two items that will soon be upcycled for the Etsy shop: a 20’s style nightgown alternating between silk and lace, and a fabulous white jumpsuit with a short-sleeve lace top, a white linen-esque pant, and a cutout in the lower back… it’s fantastic. Some bold bride will snatch it up in a blur :)

For myself, I found a black velvet halter dress that is short, has just enough crinoline to be twirly and NOT honky-tonk… and a really low back. My boyfriend will die :) and this awesome Aries symbol ring. Says my boyfriend: “Too bad it isn’t a DIAMOND in there *nudges me*” to which I say “Well that I’M not getting a diamond ring for me… so have at it :)” (Someday… not right now!)

I also spent less than $60 for the whole haul… YEAH.

The girl at the counter was super helpful and sweet! Sarah found an awesome pair of Diane von Furstenburg shorts for $12. SO REASONABLE.

I give AuH20 4.5 (Out of 5) Pearls. My random rating system… so there. :) I just wish it were bigger!!!
