    Question 30 is interesting because most people may assume that haute couture is the opposite of "fast fashion" but I don't think expensive or exclusive brands need to be the opposite of it. A more fundamental question might be "is there really a clear borderline between fast-fashion and its "opposite"?" Might some haute couture labels or products have some of the disadvantages which characterize fast fashion?

How is it possible to produce new items every week? First question, when did fast-fashion start and become a thing?  In order to understand that, we have to go back to the 1800s to understand how clothes were designed and produced back then. There was no such thing as over-producing and over-consuming. Most of the clothing was made by hand at home by the women of the house. The materials were all "natural" fabrics, for example, wool and linen were most common, with cotton and silk were scarcer and more expensive. A wide variety of colors were available using natural dyes, and hundreds of weaves and patterns were possible by hand. Making one piece of clothing took a long time, money and energy.
