The ugly truth behind fast fashion giant H&M

I have been sharing my passion for refashion and ethical, sustainable style for quite some time and hope that I have been able to encourage others to step away from fast fashion and start creating their unique looks from high quality preloved gear and my delightful DIYs.

One of the reasons I began my refashionista journey was to stop supporting unethically produced fast fashion which was no small feat considering I lived a mere 2 blocks away from an H&M in Berlin. Those bright red sale signs beckoned me every time I walked passed – thankfully there was more than enough information online to squash any thoughts of giving my hard earned money to that morally corrupt company regardless of how amazing the sales were.

The following documentary by Marie Maurice reveals the ugly truth behind fast fashion giant H&M. This investigation takes us on a tour of what really goes on behind the scenes of multibillion dollar H&M: from the workshops in Bangladesh and Ethiopia to the discreet fiscal optimization in Europe – all controlled by brutal management practices aimed at silencing any protesting voice.

Disclaimer: I am not at all an expert on the big business of fast fashion however I am a concerned consumer who has chosen to learn & share as much as I can through my own personal experiences & the wealth of resources available online.

My ambition to inform & influence others to step away from unethically (& immorally) produced products is the driving force that motivates me to continue providing fabulous free eco-fashion/accessory/decor tutorials, ethical outfit inspiration and helpful thrifting tips on my Confessions of a Refashionista as well as contributing & sharing my creative skills throughout the online maker world.
