The collapse of the fashion industry does not mean the clothing industry will collapse.
People still need clothing obviously (cheap and of good quality preferably).
Also, what do we consider the fashion industry exactly? Most long term clothing trends seem to be dictated by a couple of factors. Consisting of:
- practicality. Jeans are good example of this. It's cheap and practical clothing that lasts a long time.
- cultural "requirement": clothing that is required to fit into social circles. The shirt would be a good example of this, aswell as the tie.
- Enviromental requirements: This one should be obvious ofcourse, No one wears a wool jacket in abu dabi.
Fast fashion and the fashion industry as a whole seems incredibly wasteful to me. Buying new clothing because of yearly trends is way to damaging to the enviroment for what it's worth.
