Many fast fashion brands are copying the look of high-end artists, designers and architects. These brands have copied Balenciaga’s shoes, Kanye West’s Adidas, and pins from Tuesday Bassen (illustrator) and Aurora James of Brother Vellies (shoe designer). Zara, which is owned by Gap, one example of such a brand. Other fast fashion brands copy popular feminist tees, phones cases and original creations of independent designers such as Boohoo.
Boohoo
In Manchester, UK in 2006, boohoo was established as a fast fashion brand. The brand has a number of innovative fashion brands that target style-conscious consumers. It was initially a single brand that soon expanded to international markets, with sales exceeding PS1 billion. Boohoo Group now owns the brand, with offices in London and Los Angeles. The company is also accused in some cases of repurposing celebrity-endorsed lines, and removing labels form cheaper clothing.
H&M
H&M, a fast fashion company, has come under fire for its poor quality control of casual clothing. H&M Group's labour policies have improved over the years. They now hold an "It's a Start” rating to protect people's rights and a score 61-70% in the Fashion Transparency Index. H&M also provides detailed information on its suppliers and production processes. These details include information concerning forced labour and gender equality, as well other concerns.
Zara
Zara is an example of fast fashion that has an impact on the environment. This fast fashion brand is notorious for its production of fast fashion, and the production of its clothing is not only damaging to the environment, but to the lives of its workers as well. While the company has pledged to produce only "green" clothing by 2025, it fails to consider its inherent disposability. Zara's fast fashion business model generates enormous amounts of waste.
Old Navy
Old Navy did not have a great time in the 2000s. In the following years, the company saw sales declines during the recession. Stefan Larsson was appointed Old Navy's president in 2012. He focused on families and introduced more fashion. Larsson, who pioneered the fast fashion model with H&M, is now working with Old Navy to increase its level of transparency and infuse more fashion into the brand while maintaining its prices low.
Topshop
Topshop is a fast fashion retailer despite the green label. Topshop's business model, which emphasizes fashion trends over timeless designs, is unsustainable. It also produces large quantities low-quality clothing. Topshop is rated 'Not Good Enough' for its environmental impact and labour practices, and received a score of between 31 and 40% on the Fashion Transparency Index.
Uniqlo
Uniqlo was founded in Japan 22 year ago. It has since grown to over 2,250 outlets across 25 countries. The company has earned a reputation for providing quality private label clothing at low prices, and has become one of the world's most popular fast fashion brands. Uniqlo Japan is home to more stores than any other country. And because of its success, the brand has even gained the trust of a number of celebrities.

What is a trend in fashion?
A fashion trend is a set or rules of dressing up. It is a way for you to express yourself through clothes. Fashion trends include everything, from hairstyles or colors.

The same thing happened with dresses. The popularity of dresses has declined over time. Then, they returned.
It doesn't always mean that you must dress in the same fashion as everyone else when following a fashion trend. You can still be yourself.
