Sustainability in the Clothing Industry
“Fast fashion” is a phrase seen throughout Pingree school and beyond to describe our fashion industry. There are posters lining the walls near the Vault at Pingree, projects in classes, and multiple articles explaining the dangers. Fast fashion is a manufacturing process that decreases the quality of the items to increase supply. The selling technique was developed in order to ensure that the consumers buy the products and there is an increase in revenue. The fashion industry must rely on predictions for seasonal trends to maximize profit, but with fast-fashion, the industry does not have to predict these trends, they can change the inventory during the same season to keep up with the trends. With the quick shift in the selections, Audrey Standton, the sustainability editor for The Good Trade, wrote, “Corners are inevitably cut.” On the contrary, “greenwashing” is another term on the rise. The definition of greenwashing is when companies, specifically clothing brands, advertise as an eco-friendly alternative to fast-fashion when there is evidence that the company still conforms with the fast-fashion selling techniques. While there are concerns about sustainability, fashion is still a prominent component to everyday life and culture.

Target is knocking down a wall to expand in Somerville and add a full grocery area

The city’s Zoning Board of Appeals approved on Wednesday the expansion of a 92,000-square- foot Target store at 180 Somerville Ave. into a vacant space next door of 34,000 square feet, making for a combined space close to the department store chain’s typical size nationwide of about 130,000 square feet.
