Fast Fashion = Good? | Elise Zhang | TEDxPhillips Academy

In the rush to address the rightful critiques of the fast fashion industry, marginalized individuals and emerging nations are overlooked. Fast fashion is breaking economic and social barriers for workers, especially women, by offering improved wages and equipping them to challenge systemic obstacles. The industry also provides a pathway to industrialization for emerging nations. We all have a role to play in reshaping the narrative and driving change.
