Products often inspired by the latest fashion trends and distributed through a global network of physical shops and online platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a model that is often resource-intensive &ndash; from the production of fabrics to the distribution of products &ndash; and can have negative impacts on the environment and people, such as pollution due to overproduction and toxic and synthetic materials such as <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Polyester&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt;A synthetic fibre widely used in textiles.
