Explanation of terms

Fast Fashion: 

Fast fashion refers to an approach in the fashion industry in which clothing is produced quickly and cheaply in order to bring current trends to the market quickly. These garments are often of lower quality and are offered at low prices to appeal to a wide range of consumers. Fast fashion brands frequently update their collections to keep up with ever-changing fashion trends and utilise efficient production methods to shorten the time from design to sale. The focus is on affordable fashion that is readily available, but this often comes at the expense of environmental and labour conditions in the production chain.

Luxury Fashion: 

Luxury fashion refers to high-quality, exclusive clothing, accessories and shoes produced by renowned designer brands. These brands are characterised by outstanding craftsmanship, fine materials and unique design. Luxury fashion is aimed at an affluent and discerning audience who are prepared to pay high prices for quality, exclusivity and prestige. These fashion houses rely on limited production quantities, first-class customer service and a distinctive brand identity to consolidate their unique position in the market. Luxury fashion stands for timeless elegance, style and sophistication and clearly stands out from mass market or fast fashion products.
