This has also changed how the consumers have changed from buying anything and being sold to advertise to more conscious of what they buy causing them to be more demanding and have an awareness.  This has improved many methods of clothing productions as many liked to have more ethical and sustainable clothing, which have a less impact on the environment. Chasing the fashion market to develop ways to encourage consumers to buy, but to make sure their needs is fulfilled. This is by reusing of waste fabric recycles, to craft design clothing to make a new clothing and to design long lasting products that would be made through more sustainable material (Future learn , 2018).
