Vestiaire Collective, known as one of the most important luxury vintage shop on line, have asked to the consumer to take a stand against fast fashion. 92 millions tons of textiles are discarded every year, enough to create a fashion waste pile the size of The Colosseum, Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace.
Fast fashion means low prices brands with an overproduction of items.The solutions suggested is to buy second hand for a more sustainable future.
We should think to re-styling our clothes, upcycle our fast fashion items into something unique, make a donation to trusted charities, swap among our friends to clear out our closet before buy new ones and recycle.
Since the pandemia era media and magazine talks about the importance of second hand increasing the vintage market. Personally as Personal Shopper was always my recommandion to everyone starting from me. It's an opportunity to get an update wardrobe saving money and give a new chance to the items through a new style.
