Resource firms in nations such as Morroco, India, and Turkey have picked up the competence to manufacture unique high-quality pieces of clothing with the desired mobility, and at great speeds, the company Zara has turned to source from these nations.

1779: 31: 726: 705: 949: 1888:"In recent years, fast fashion retailers have taken on a new approach to reach their consumers. Initially, social media's sole purpose was to act as a platform that allowed people to connect with other users around the world. However, people started to realize that there is more to social media than just sharing pictures with your family and friends. Social media has become a way for retailers to promote their products and impact consumer behavior." 736: 856: 836: 328: 300: 459: 1058:

The structure of this article is clear for the most part, it goes into detail of many things that are branched from fast fashion. This article would benefit from adding more images such as famous people that are promoting fast fashion (by wearing their clothes and posting in it), and pictures of the amount of clothes being produced.

The article should add spomething about the amount of plastic packaging that isn't ending up in recycle bins; it's ending up in our oceans and places it shouldn't be. This article is solid for the most part, but can be improved with some changes.

It doesn't seem necessary to me to describe what social media's initial role was, and the phrase "people started to realise that there is more to social media than just sharing pictures with your family and friends". At the absolute least that should read "their" rather "your". But, further, I reckon

The lead section is okay, it would be better if both a negative impact (such as the negative impact it has on the environment) and a positive impact (such as hiring more workers and more affordable clothing for lower class families) was added into the lead.

The sections on recycling and design solutions are not super relevant. They are very poorly cited and they can't be backed up very well. They also contain information that comes off as greenwashing. The section on design solutions is almost copies from the source. These practices it recommends are

The "design solutions" section is almost copied and pasted from its source, which is not a reliable source. The example used in the recycling section is from a false H&M report, and it reads to anyone who knows about it as inaccurate and is an example of greenwashing.

In 2021, it was estimated that the global textile industry produced 92 million tons of textile waste annually, with the majority of discarded garments ending up in landfills or incinerated, further contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation.
