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?

They’re really not, and at no point did I even mention fast fashion for you to reach the conclusion that I’ve somehow excluded it.
Fast fashion just brings to the forefront most of the problems with whatever you consider “regular” fashion, it is the entire industry that is the epitome of planned obsolescence (with new lines and “trends” being manufactured at least 4 times a year, along with the pressure/expectation that the “fashionable” will keep up) , exploitation (the conditions in which the clothes, and the materials they are made from, are made), and waste. Trying to split it in to the part that is marketed to the poor, and the part marketed to the rich is splitting pointless hairs, and somehow implying that that which is marketed to the poor is somehow worse is completely ignoring the big picture and the obscenely rich who are behind it (by design - demonising fast fashion and its users, shifts the focus way from those profiting from it).
