I can see why the "not getting paid enough" part is dystopic, but I can't deny I love the idea of people dressing for comfort and/or functionality over "trendiness" and whatever the fuck "corporate glam" is.. I'd be happy to just let the fashion industry die..
Tbh fast fashion and fashion are two different concepts. People dressing like potatoes and buying h&m crap is very common. E.g. isn't fast fashion a problem in the usa too?
