Welcome!

 Welcome to my blog. 

My name is Hina, and I would like to share with you the reality of the fast-fashion industry. 

I have been wearing fast-fashion brands for a while now, such as H&M, ZARA. However, as I started shopping at pricier brands, I wondered why the clothes from H&M and ZARA were cheap. 

I had been doing some research ever since, and the information I know as of now is...

  1. There are people who are working at far below the minimum wage and in terrible condition to make the items.
  2. The process to produce items has negative effects on the environment.
  3. The materials used also has negative effects on the environment
In this blog, I would like to answer the question that I previously posted weekly!

    This is an excellent introduction to your blog and what you plan to accomplish in it. It might make your blog more relatable to other if you identify more who you are. I don't mean by telling personally identifying information about yourself, but just by explaining for example a bit about your background. Your readers may not even know what country you're writing from.

    Also, it would help if there were more visual elements to your blog. Try embedding some copyright-free photos, photos that you've taken yourself, or embedded videos.

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. So, people mended it and were taken care of until it was no longer wearable.  Now fast-fo...
