Fast fashion and its different types
Introduction
According to the textile product industry document in the chapter written by Leon J. Warshaw The term textile industry (from Latin Texere, weaving) was initially referred to the fabric of fabrics from fibers, but currently covers a wide range of processes, such as the point, tufting or knotted carpets, the enraged, etc. It also includes yarn from synthetic or natural fibers and tissue staining and staining. In addition "it usually covers the manufacture of clothing, clothing and even shoes, and its work takes place in textile factories or maquilas". Therefore it is a fundamental term for my case study, since from there the rapid fashion derives.
Developing
According to the Occupational Risk Prevention Guide document: the textile process. It is based on the treatment of textile fibers in order to obtain the threads and tissues with which the final product will be developed through very disparate technical tasks and processes, that is, it encompasses a series of interrelated processes with each other,from obtaining chemical fibers to preparation. Methodologically, two large subsectors can be distinguished: the textile fabric manufacturing industry and the point -tissue industry.
The greatest demands in terms of effluents are oxygen chemicals (DQO), oxygen biochemistry (BOD), alkaline pH, visible color (1100-4500 units) and salinity, since these effluents come from different processes involved in the manufacture offibers. In the dye of garments a large number of effluents with dyes are generated,
Since about 30% of these compounds are lost due to inefficiencies of the dyeing process, which end up contaminating rivers or landfills because the chemical NaCl and Na2SO4 are one of the causes of aquatic toxicity whose dyes are present in organic compounds such as solventsChlorinated, from washing and cleaning machines, biocides such as pentachlorophenol, from contaminated wool fiber, and toxic anions such as sulphide, present in some dyes.
Trend
In a general definition, the RAE mentions that tendency is the “propensity or inclination in people and things towards certain purposes” (RAE, 2014). As for fashion trend is a style that manifests itself through clothing and its accessories which usually lasts a certain period of time and the next one is considered obsolete, however the newest is not always "the newest," he saysThe ESME website
It also becomes a trend when the articles or the acceptance of customers, since it is they who define the time that the trend will last, so there are macro and micro trends. According to the Jemma Friera blog, a macro trend is one that has a long life and in turn are global, they usually impose themselves as a lifestyle and affect the future of business mainly influencing the form of customer consumption. On the other hand, a micro trend are passing and many times local fashions, however fashion is cyclical and everything can return (types of trends, 2018).
Fashion
It is defined to fashion as the “use, mode or custom that is in vogue for some time, or in a certain country” (RAE, 2014). Etymologically the word fashion comes from the French mode which is marked by times or seasons determined in specific places, affecting social and cultural conditions. Currently fashion for many is synonymous with "look good" adapting new needs such as movements, social and cultural currents, reflecting on clothing, accessories and even shoes. This term is useful for the study, since it serves to know the prolonged use of a garment.
Sustainable fashion
Sustainable fashion is born as a counterproposal for rapid fashion, aims to create an awareness in the public. In the words of the Ecoembes page. Being a counterproposal it is necessary to know how the consumer could influence and reduce consumption speed in a certain way to avoid excessive pollution.
Promotes the transparency of production processes, introducing the traceability of garments. So that the consumer knows who, where and under what conditions the clothes he has been made. He supports a philosophy of responsible consumption of clothing, which tries to raise awareness about the impact of clothing on the environment, the exhaustion of resources and the impact of the textile industry on society.
conclusion
The IESE website mentions that fast fashion is a relatively new business strategy. Introduce clothing collections that follow the latest fashion trends, but that have been designed and manufactured quickly and cheaply. In this way, they offer the average consumer the possibility of accessing the novelties of the fashion world at low prices.
Its definition is necessary to better understand this type of fashion that has filled several markets, being the cause of much of the environmental pollution due to the large number of clothing they produce annually and the excessive time with which trends are changedWell, it makes clothes a expendable accessory.
