Hi:-) today I am going to talk about a topic that interests me a lot, fast fashion. Fast fashion is the phenomenon by which clothing collections are introduced that follow the latest trends and have been designed and manufactured in an accelerated way and at a low cost. With this, the industry offers the costumer the access new clothings at affordable prices and continuously. This trend has meant that the average use of a new garment is only seven times before being thrown away, and in the last 20 years there has been a 400% increase in the consumption of clothing on the planet. What do you think is the environmental impact of all of this? it is a lot. There is also the Social impact that also concerns, such as labor abuse.

I have always had a great interest in plastic arts, in drawing, painting and embroidery. I would like to travel throughout my life, like, I want to live in a different place and move every 4 years.
