Valued at over a trillion dollars, the fashion industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the world. Thanks to the rise of e-commerce, it is set on an uphill trajectory of growth. However, as fashion trends change and are replaced at exponentially increasing rates, many fashion businesses often have to keep up with the pace of fast fashion or risk becoming obsolete. This move towards fast fashion is unprecedented, rendering many best practices of the fashion industry irrelevant. Fashion designers and business owners can no longer rely on old strategies to adapt to the new fashion industry, and must find ways to upskill themselves lest they get left behind
