Abstract
Fast Fashion has grown to become a powerhouse revolving around creating a low-cost, high production, weekly trends industry. What started as outsourcing to China to produce more products at a lower cost, has branched out into finding countries with the least restrictions on labor laws and lowest paying factories. This system creates a disposable industry, where each item is meant to be worn once or twice and thrown away. This study explores the many aspects of the Fast-Fashion Industry and its effects on the environment as well as the production workers. There are steps which consumers as well as company owners can take to change the way the industry is operating. This research includes a personal business plan for TeAta Amoon LLC. to become a sustainable, Fair-trade company.
Keywords:fast-fashion, sustainable fashion, fair-trade, cotton-production, Bangladesh, fashion-pollution, Rana Plaza
