I’d disagree. Even from a pretty neoliberal kind of economics, fast fasion doesn’t factor environmental “externalities” (i.e. the cost doesn’t include environmental destruction) so it’s massively undepriced, which artificially punps up demand for fast fashion.
In other words, the issue is caused by the way the system is set up. I.e. it’s a systemic issue.
It’s also flimsy, disposable, and more often than not doesn’t fit properly. Tailored clothes offer you more bang per buck even if those appear to be more expensive at the first glance.
I’d say FOMO/need to keep up with monthly trends pumps up the demand more than just the price.
Fast fashion isn’t a systematic issue.
