Hi everyone!
I am currently doing some research for my dissertation at the university of Hull, on the ethical issues surrounding fast fashion which also includes the idea of the internet and social media as a space. When I say fast fashion I'm typically referring to online brands like Missguided, Boohoo, and ASOS (or anything similar where the prices are reasonably inexpensive and they can be shipped quick and returned free) and high street brands like H&M and Primark etc. So I'd like to ask anyone as a consumer of fast fashion to comment on this topic, i.e. are you aware of ethical issues? Does buying online desensitise you to those issues? Do you take ethical issues into account when purchasing? or anything of the like that you feel is relevant to the discussion, I would love to hear what you have to say on this topic!
PLEASE NOTE: By responding to this you consent to the use of your comments for analysis in my dissertation, all comments will remain 100% anonymous in the piece. If at any point you decide against the use of your comment in my research or just want to contribute out of interest and do not want your comment used, please send me a message on here letting me know or email my university email: L.Kerfoot@2016.hull.ac.uk . Also, I welcome any questions regarding my research or my dissertation so please feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance for any contributions, they are greatly appreciated!
