Are you passing through similar situation every time you receive an offer update ?

If yes, then you are too a Victim to Fast fashion.

It urges you to end up buying clothes which you don’t even require at the moment.

Brands have begun launching new collection almost every week. Seasonal approach is long gone, with fashion trends changing every week.

Who decides these fashion trends ?

These are the big fast fashion brands who are pumping new style and collections in the market every week, always making you feel that what you are wearing is already old and urges you to buy new.This is mindless consumption and is becoming very common among the young generations.This is really worrisome considering the impact the fashion industry is creating on the mother earth.
