37 CRUDE DESIGN

CRUDE In most cases, fast fashion clothing is extremely low quality due to using cheap

materials and labor. They are made to fall apart quickly so you would go back and

DESIGN purchase more. There are some exceptions occasionally, but in general, fast
fashion is made to be thrown away after a couple of wears.��Polyester is the

worst clothing material ever existed and it’s one of the main materials used by

fast fashion companies due to its cheap cost. It is made of plastic which is, obvi-
ously, bad for the environment, and releases microplastic to our water systems

when washed. Polyester is not breathable which means that you get all sweaty

under it. Because of this, it’s especially unsuitable for summer clothes and un-

derwear

The most visible difference between fast fashion and quality fashion is that the

thickness of fast fashion clothes is around 75% of what it should be. And I am not
talking about sheer tops that are supposed to look like that, but regular T-shirts

and jeans.
