Sustainable fashion is becoming more popular as people increasingly recognize the impact of the clothing industry on the environment. Fast fashion brands often use cheap materials and methods that harm the planet, such as producing large amounts of waste and emitting pollutants during manufacturing. This prioritizes speed and low cost over quality and environmental responsibility. In contrast, sustainable fashion focuses on eco-friendly practices such as using recycled materials, reducing water usage, and supporting fair labor. Sustainable fashion also encourages longer product life cycles, designing clothing that lasts longer and is less likely to end up in landfills. Designers in the sustainable fashion movement often innovate with materials and techniques, creating new options such as fabric made from recycled plastic bottles and natural dyes derived from plants. This shift in consumer preference has led many designers and brands to adopt more responsible practices and provide more sustainable options for consumers. Though sustainable fashion can sometimes come at a higher cost, many consumers are willing to invest more for the long-term benefits to the planet. As awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion grows, the trend toward sustainability in fashion is expected to continue. (Adapted from VSTEP Practice Test) Question 36.
