Fast Fashion vs. Designer Fashion
Fast Fashion vs. Designer Fashion
We are often told to be different. To be bold in every way. Yet fast fashion is often created through emulating or outright taking an already existing style. Due to the swiftness of fast fashion stores such as H&M, Zara and Charlotte Russe, fashion is being delivered at lightning speed, but is it better than designer fashion sources? We’re here to break down precisely why we can all do more to create a better world and look better through our shopping habits.
Designer Fashion Is Higher Quality
Fast fashion is often made with thin, inferior material that isn’t of quality. This may result in an initially low price tag at the store, but when that piece you love begins to deteriorate, fall apart or discolor you’ll regret it. You get what you pay for.
When it comes to fast fashion, what you don’t pay for upfront, you will pay for later in the form of wasted money and time - Not to mention potential embarrassment if your look falls apart during an event when you’re trying to make an impression. Why take a chance?
Fast Fashion Often Steals Original Work
As stated before, many fast fashion companies emulate designer fashion competitors or outright steal styles that are presented on the runway, releasing them before designer fashion companies can release their collections.
Supporting this is a recipe for increased acceptance of plagiarism in the marketplace, fast fashion companies claiming the profits of quality work made by fashion designers and a lack of original style.
Designer Fashion Is Ethical Fashion
Designer fashion companies provide better service, quality, and ethical standards than their fast fashion counterparts. Not only do designer fashion companies pay employees more and provide better benefits, but they are also more determined to be socially responsible by reaching new environmental standards and goals.
Fashion brand Chanel has been encouraging the use of faux fur instead of real animal fur in the fashion industry. They are transparent about their areas of manufacture in Italy, France and Spain. In addition they pay their workers living wages at about $25 an hour on average rather than taking advantage of workers in poor countries by offering mere pennies in compensation and having wider profit margins.
Designer Fashion Creates A Better World
This investing in products, employees and people through values creates a more responsible, socially respectful environment in the workplace and the world. You may have noticed that the designer fashion industry is also reinventing itself by diversifying its models, embracing various body types, skin colors and imperfections. Is it really surprising that designer fashion continues to make a major impression on the world despite fast fashion competition?
Designer fashion holds itself in high regard and pushes itself to be the best it can be in business and in life. This is the kind of fashion that deserves our support. Fashion with purpose and not just a goal of profit.
