what are some fast fashion brands?
co je rychlá móda?
Fast Fashion can be explained as cheap, in-vogue clothing that takes ideas from the catwalk or high-fashion culture and přeměňuje je na oděvy v obchodech nebezpečně rychle, aby uspokojil potřeby kupujících, bez ohledu na udržitelnost.
The idea is to get the freshest styles available as quickly as possible conceivable, so customers can eat them up while they are currently at the peak of their fame and afterward, tragically, dispose of them after a couple of wears. Rámuje životně důležitou část škodlivého znečištění, toxického odpadu, nadprodukce a využívání, které z fast fashion udělaly jednoho z největších znečišťovatelů světa, produkující 10 % světových emisí skleníkových plynů.

What are some of the fast fashion brands?
We all know how bad Fast Fashion really is and why it needs to be stopped, but if you still don’t know we advise you to read proč je rychlá móda špatná.
Having said this, how many of the most popular brands actually sell fast fashion? Well, sadly most big fashion stores today sell fast fashion, some of them are even pioneers in this unethical practice.
Here are some of the most popular Fast Fashion stores:
- Skupina Inditex, we put the whole Inditex fashion group here, which owns brands like Zara or Pull&Bear because they all revolve around Fast Fashion, not only that, Zara is even the pioneer in this unethical business practice and that’s the reason why many people are avoiding buying from them.
- Primark, this Irish company is well-known for its extremely cheap (and poor quality) clothes. This is one of the living Fast Fashion examples to avoid. Some time ago they were involved in a scandal where they supposedly used child labor in third world countries, although we can’t and will not confirm that (we prefer not to get a lawsuit).
- Shein, this brand takes Fast Fashion to a whole other level, we may even e able to say that they have invented the Ultra-Fast Fashion, selling extremely cheap clothes of dreadful quality by the ton. This is a very interesting topic on its own, so we invite you to read about Model Shein's Ultra-Fast Fashion.
- Mango, this brand is popular in many countries, and its clothes are worn by many people worldwide. However, its Fast Fashion practices have led them to be part of the Rana Plaza factory collapse which took the lives of many factory workers, which shows the bad working conditions they are in.
- Urban Outfitters, this fast fashion brand is also known for considering textile workers’ rights as optional and producing cheap fast fashion clothes. Also, worse than that is that they have also been flagged for stealing designs from independent small creators for their own benefit, which is completely unethical.
Sadly, there are many many more examples of Fast Fashion brands, but we have named you some of them and the most important ones. Although many of them say to start transitioning to a more sustainable fashion business model, most of the time these are just empty words, and unfortunately, they do nothing to become sustainable.
examples of slow fashion brands
We have seen some of the most popular Fast Fashion brands, but now, what are some of the Slow or Sustainable fashion brands?
Not all hope is lost, and sustainable fashion is becoming more relevant as people become aware of how their shopping habits can harm the environment, people, and the economy. Today, we don’t necessarily have a lot of Slow Fashion brands but we do have some you can buy from, and the good thing is, you can purchase their clothes online!
Having said this, here are the best Sustainable Fashion Brands you can buy from:
- Gramatika NYC:This beautiful store sells one of the best clothes out there, not only do they use the best quality materials, but they also make their designs with MÓDAna mysli. Jediná špatná věc na této značce je její cena, která je pravděpodobně velmi vysoká, ale alespoň kvalita a udržitelnost ceně velmi odpovídá. Můžete navštívit jejich prodejnutady.
- Dva dny volna:This store uses locally produced, ecological clothes made with recycled materials. They use linen, cotton, wool, and hemp for their products. Like the last one, price is not their strength, but they do offer original and stylish clothing. You can visit their store tady.
- ABLE: Tato etická pomalá módní značka má oblečení a doplňky vyrobené poctivě výrobci z celého světa. Dělají velký krok na cestě k transparentnosti v módním průmyslu tím, že zveřejňují své mzdy. Jejich oblečení je cenově dostupnější než u jiných značek, ale stále není tak levné, jak by si člověk přál. Můžete navštívit jejich prodejnutady.
- Valani:Tato barevná značka Plant-based oděvů vytváří převážně ženské oblečení pro lehčí život. Valaniho snové oděvy jsou vyrobeny z lehkých vláken, jako je konopí, Tencel a banánová viskóza, trochu jako Two Days Off. Značka navíc používá strategické techniky řezání a znovu využívá zbytky látek, aby minimalizovala odpad. Mají opravdu barevné oblečení, které byste si měli prohlédnouttady.
- PLEA:Toto je naše vlastní značka! Nabízíme také udržitelné slow fashion oblečení, které si můžete koupit. Většinou se zaměřujeme na trička, mikiny a doplňky, ale jsou za dostupnou cenu, a nejen to, ale nabízíme přizpůsobitelné oblečení, to je pravda! Můžete si vytvořit tričko, mikinu nebo doplňky na míru, abychom je pak mohli vyrobit a poslat vám je, protože používáme revoluční metodu, která nezahrnuje vytváření tuny oblečení před prodejem, ale vyrábíme je na příkaz! Můžete se podívat na náš obchodtady.
To sum it up, we do have a lot of choices literally in the palm of our hands, so there is no excuse other than not having enough money to quit buying Fast Fashion. Either way, if you want to know more about what you can do for sustainable fashion even if you don’t have money, check out how to do slow fashion.
how can we tell the difference?
If you encounter any brand and you don’t know enough about their background and what business practices they stand for, we have some tips that may help you out.
Here are some tips for knowing if a brand is Fast Fashion or Slow Fashion:
- Investigate the brand, read articles about them, and read the news to find out about their business morals and practices.
- Look into their website, and see if they disclose how they treat their workers and if they use sustainable materials for their clothes.
- Read customer reviews and unbiased articles that may clarify any doubts about the brand.
- Use common sense, if the clothes the brand is offering are too cheap, they are probably outsourcing their costs onto the environment and their workers, as a fashion store has to pay a LOT of costs, like marketing, shipping, paying wages, the clothes themselves are a small piece of the brand’s costs.
