from SPJIMR Podcast · host SPJIMR Podcast
Fast on fashion, slow on responsibility? From Zara’s weekly drops to Shein’s 6,000 designs a day, fast fashion has redefined style and access. But behind the bargains and trends lies a pressing question: What’s the true cost of cheap, rapid fashion — on the planet, on workers, and on society? In this latest edition of WISE Tech Insights, we explore: 🌍 The environmental toll — CO₂, water, and microplastics 🧵 The human cost — low wages, unsafe conditions, exploitation ♻️ The greenwashing dilemma — intent vs. business model conflict 🇮🇳 The rise of Indian pioneers like @Doodlage, @NoNasties, @Upcycleluxe, @KaSha, and @Cottonworld leading the way on sustainable fashion 💡 The question we leave you with: Can fast fashion ever be truly sustainable, or is conscious consumerism our only way forward?
