It’s a bit of history that is so relevant to our current throw away mentality and environmental concerns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1859525 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 00:01:46 +0000 K.M. 1859525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this! Looove history posts. In fact this post relates to a class I teach on colonialism, so I might actually share this with my students </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1859484 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 18:36:58 +0000 LaPed 1859484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Takeaway for me: what we now call appropriation has been around for a very long time and is deeply ingrained in the culture of fashion. So much so that it's maybe impossible to escape... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1859404 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 13:04:53 +0000 cindysmith 1859404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating!

As I've been on holiday and wandering through the big shopping areas here on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, I've been so struck by the sheer quantity of clothing and the likely waste. I've enjoyed looking at some of it but the only thing I bought was the long elusive red sandals. I'm more determined than ever to wear my current stuff I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858779 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 11:29:20 +0000 Style Fan 1858779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting La Ped.&nbsp; Fascinating history. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858759 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 05:53:56 +0000 Kate 1858759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article, La Pedestrienne.

The things that shape the world are so often overlooked in history classes. I would love to know what archives they dug into to trace this history. My favourite book of all time is Janet Gleesson’s The Arcanum, about the start of European ‘china.’ Augustus, King of Poland etc., locked up this poor kid for his whole life to work on the secret of porcelain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858728 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 03:06:28 +0000 Deborah 1858728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing this.&nbsp; Interesting that is there is now a strong movement back to quality clothing that transcends trend and has longevity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858620 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:49:09 +0000 Barbara Diane 1858620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It also gives insight into why clothing and cloth was considered part of a dowry, if I remember correctly. Because they had real value.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858619 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:48:01 +0000 Barbara Diane 1858619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm still thinking about this. It seems like what we today think of as fast fashion is something that has an extremely short lifespan, but what happened in the article took things from a very long lifespan to what we knew before the more recent changes. But what changed was the idea that we wouldn't wear the same garments for a very long time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858607 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 18:44:04 +0000 Sara L. 1858607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/india-france-and-the-roots-of-fast-fashion#post-1858598 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 18:01:31 +0000 calmwave 1858598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this article La P.
