You Need This: Global Fast Fashion, Environment, And Consumption Culture, Alexandra Lamm

Student Work

Although vastly different, through examination we will see how all are intrinsically linked. We have reached a truly global economy, and even when threatened with negative consequences of mass consumption in our daily lives, the road to actual change in the fashion industry becomes harder in time due to our dependency on the industry as a whole.
