With the ongoing shifts to digital retailing, particularly among younger generations, fast fashion brands will need to pick up the pace in their digital developments that have until recently been fairly slow.
The move to mobile retailing provides considerable opportunities for fast fashion players. Encompassing the influence of social media and transactional platforms all on one device enables brands to provide a truly personalised service through their brand apps as well as s-commerce concepts.
Traditional players are increasingly moving to more agile operating systems in a bid to compete with fast fashion, while technology start-ups seek to utilise big data and rapid production strategies, threatening fast fashion’s speedy USP.

With a greater awareness of ethical and sustainable practices, consumers are increasingly turning away from the conspicuous consumption trends of the past to investment items that can be re-used, boosting the popularity of slow fashion.
