This article examines the differences in consumer attitudes towards purchases affecting fashion with a comparison of the periods from the late 1700s through the 1930s versus modern day trends, and draws a comparison of how fashion trends impact the earth with untoward levels of waste. We discuss some of the methods and solutions in use today, or proposed for implementation in the near future, for reusing viable resources and reducing toxins in the manufacture of soft goods.
