what are some fast fashion brands?
que é a moda rápida?
Fast Fashion can be explained as cheap, in-vogue clothing that takes ideas from the catwalk or high-fashion culture and transfórmaas en pezas de roupa en tendas perigosamente rápidas para satisfacer as necesidades dos compradores, sen ter en conta a sustentabilidade.
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. Enmarca unha parte vital da contaminación nociva, os residuos tóxicos, a sobreprodución e a utilización que fixeron da moda rápida un dos maiores contaminantes do mundo, producindo o 10% das emisións de gases de efecto invernadoiro do mundo.

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 por que a moda rápida é mala.
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:
- O Grupo 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 Modelo de Shein 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.
- Outfitters Urbanos, 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.

Having said this, here are the best Sustainable Fashion Brands you can buy from:
- Gramática 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 MODAen mente.

- Valani:Esta colorida marca de roupa a base de plantas crea roupa principalmente feminina para unha vida máis lixeira.

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.
