“Sustainable fashion is not a trend, but the future.” – Antonia Bohike
The fashion industry is known for its constant changes and trends, but in recent years, there has been an increasing inconsistency within it that is worth discussing.
One major issue is the lack of diversity and inclusivity in the fashion industry. Despite calls for more representation of different body types, sizes, and skin tones on the runway and in advertising, the industry still has a long way to go. Many designers and brands continue to rely on thin, white models to showcase their clothing, which can make it difficult for consumers of different backgrounds to see themselves represented in the fashion world.
Another inconsistency in the fashion industry is the use of fast fashion. Fast fashion is the practice of quickly producing inexpensive clothing based on current trends. While this can make fashion more accessible to a wider range of consumers, it also harms the environment and the people who make the clothes. The fast-paced production schedule and low prices often mean that workers are paid very little and working in poor conditions. Additionally, the rapid turnover of trends means that clothes are quickly discarded, contributing to the issue of textile waste.

Sustainability is another area where the fashion industry is inconsistent. While some designers and brands are putting effort to use sustainable materials and production methods, others are relying on traditional methods. Consumers are becoming more aware of the impact of fast fashion and demanding more sustainable options, but the industry is still slow to catch up.
In conclusion, the modern fashion industry is inconsistent in terms of inclusivity, sustainability and ethical production. Whereas some designers and brands are making positive changes. The industry still has a long way to go. It’s important for consumers to be aware of these issues and to support designers and brands that are making an effort to be more inclusive, sustainable, and ethical. By doing so, we can help push the fashion industry in a more positive direction.
