It was full of clothes, but she had nothing to wear. And that was because it was a closet full of fast fashion that was falling apart.“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs from top fashion houses. Well-know fast fashion stores include H&M, Forever 21, Zara and Topshop.One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report found that Millennials- people born in the 1980s and 90s-want to wear different types of clothes in the photos they post on social websites. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low-cost clothes are growing. But some Millenmials are not happy with the rise of fast fashion.Maxine Bedat, the woman with the closet full of clothes but nothing to wear, was tired of always shopping for what was in style. Instead, she wanted to buy fewer clothes that she could wear over and over. Other people wanted the same thing, she says. So Ms. Bedat and a business partner, Soraya Darabi, started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady.“Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable (生物降解的) over time.The terms“fast fashion” and“slow fashion” are similar to“fast food” and“slow food".Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they influence the world.4. What can we know about fast fashion?A.
