Influencers and fashion consultants from all over the world gathered this year's Pitti Uomo exhibition in Florence. One of the most discussed topics of the fashion forum is "fast fashion", which is becoming a global problem.
Irish influencer Damien Broderick joins Pitti Uomo for the second time. He revealed to BGNES that he would change a few things in the fashion industry.
"I would make changes in terms of 'fast fashion' and the role of clothes that are sustainable and last through the years. I would change 'fast fashion' to 'slow fashion' where designers and brands take the time to make their clothes the right way", he commented.
Broderick said he doesn't use the help of a fashion consultant, but rather relies on his own style when choosing his outfit. He expressed hope that the mindset of consumers will change and that people in his country will leave the clothes from the so-called. "fast fashion" aside.
Governments should increase taxes on companies that produce this type of clothing, which could make people buy better quality clothes, because the price now will be almost the same," he added./BGNES
