Television programme Nieuwsuur made a report on the fashion industry as one of the most polluting sectors in the world. Professor of Fashion Daniëlle Bruggeman reacts in the item to the problem of fast fashion and the rise of ultra fast fashion.
The reason for Nieuwsuur's item is ASN bank's decision to sell all stakes in clothing companies. Bruggeman says there is a lot of awareness, but change is too slow.
We know it has to change, but it seems like we are back to square one.
