We hear alot of cows...and meat eating, but fast fashion has just as much or even more of a detriment to the environment ...so could you?

I can't make the Poll Public after it's posted (presumably because if people had voted thinking it was private then it would be unfair to then make votes public)

I am going to give it a try, I don't really like shopping either, but online is very tempting...

i think its a matter of freedom and i am not a supporter of freedoms being removed.

There comes a point where we have to say is life worth living if we have to give up things that individuals really enjoy.

So, while fashion doesn't impact me i know for sure it affects many, so i would support their right to express themselves as they want to as often as they want.

There should be more effort put in to clothes recycling I think, keep everyone happy

I think I could since when I buy clothes (and trainers too) I do try and make them last as long as I can.

Definitely, I hate shopping :laugh:

I don’t hate clothes shopping (online shopping anyway) but I’m kind of the same. I literally do one ASOS top-up once a month and that’s my lot. More of my disposable income tends to go on food and drink. I don’t really buy clothes like that.

The fashion student in me should say yes…






But the fashion student in me also says no :shame:
