“When you buy into fast fashion, no matter how many times you wash your clothes they will never be truly clean. They’re stained by the blood of those who made them, and the footprint it leaves on this planet.”

01 Fast Fashion-What is Fast Fashion and why is it widespread?

INDEX

Definition

Fast Fashion is the mass production of clothes that represent the latest trends at high speed and low costs to maximise profits

With fast fashion, consumers can now buy trendy clothing at an affordable price, shopping for clothing is now entertaining, not a necessary eventabout a third of the world's jobs are related to the fast fashion industry -far more than the automotive industry, therefore fast fashion creates jobsthe textile industry is to be seen as an economic mainstay in especially asian countriesDemand for clothing has increased tremendously in the past few years

Fast Fashion

• cheap clothing for consumers due to cheap production

• it is predicted to reach 1,652.73 billion dollars by 2023.

• one of the most polluting

• responsible for 10% of the annual

• in 2015: 79 billion cubic metres of water is used - globally 80-90% of the waste water is returned to the environment untreated

• if the industry does not change, it water consumption will go up by 50% and its CO2 emissions by 60%

• GSI estimates that 45.8 million of people are living in modern slavery - many in the supply chain of clothing brands and retailers

• the production of the garments is mostly outsourced to other countries, -> minimum wage is low

• low prices in the fast fashion industry makes the cosumer forget 'to think before buying'

What is our target group?We want to focus on teenagers, because they tend to buy more lower price clothing since they are on lower budget but they also aim to keep up with the trendsbut: cheaper clothes are usually not being produced in good conditions -> we will offer them all trendy, affordable, sustainable, quality(2) What is our biggest goal ?7- reduce fast fashion and give our costumers a good feeling about buying new clothing.(3) How do we define success ?if we:- are able to project our values onto people - can make a difference in people´s minds about fast fashion - manage to get fewer people to buy fast fashion

EXAMPLE: BASIC LOGO T- SHIRTproduction: 10 euros per piecedelivery: 4,39 euros for a small package 4,99 euros for a medium-sized package 9,90 euros for a big package around 15 euros per piece"Why are the products not as expensive as you would expect from sustainable fashion?"- less transportation, since all participants of the manufactoring are located in Europe- less expensive advertising but more social media presence-few workers

finances and target group

We are going to keep up with the trends>>> they can and will change very fast: we have a team of designers, that works foresighted on the upcoming trends so we will be prepared we want to focus on the baggy style for now, because this has been a trend for decades and everyone can wear it. No matter what gender, what age or size, baggy shirts or pants can always be combined nicely - what we will probably always adjust to are basic pieces

... and how we adapt to them

TRENDS

From a goods value of 50 € we ship free of chargeEveryone wants discounts when you are shopping offering free shipments above a certain value of goods will convince our costumers of ordering a specific total + it will avoid a customer ordering several smaller items in a row, otherwise he would have to bear the shipping

We are also present in traditional stores, such as Peek and Cloppenburg, Urban Outfitters and Topshop to bring sustainability within reach

we offer the possibility to shop in our online shop:www.revets.com

Goal: build a growing base of costumersto archieve this: we must continuously and consistently communicate our brand identity and values in a meaningful and engaging wayWe want to build a connection with our costumers and need a clear recognition value

07

How do we plan on introducing our brand to the market ?

Sale

MaRKETING

we want to cooperate with influencing people.--> we want to work with momentousness people, who suit our brand but we do not want to appear implausible and work with influencers who for example work with contradictory brands to oursWe will concenrate on Instagram and Tiktok, because Tiktok ist the most used and popular App by teenagers A typical video lasts ca. 3 to 10 seconds, which means that we could this time trying to convince the viewers of our brandadvantages: our target group is reachedposting online is free

Advertising

MaRKETING

we would also like to open own stores, ours should be between the fast fashion shops, so that every buyer always has a choiceEven if they don't choose us, we want them to think before they buy which will be encouraged by opening the stores next to the fast fashion store

as soon as we generate more financial capital, we want to move on to landfills from where we want to import recyclable clothes and recycle them using the same process as now
