More and more attention is being paid to the harmful impacts of textile manufacture. Some suggest that rental subscription models could do the trick and reduce the scope of the problem. It's not really something I'm familiar with so could you tell me how this works? I mean, if something goes out of fashion, no one will want to rent it. So in order to get rid of the stockpiles of unwanted clothes, you'd need to landfill or incinerate it anyway, wouldn't you (or ship it to developing countries)? What's so green about it? In addition, YCloset, a Chinese rental service, recently shut down so it may be not a lucrative business to boot (although, as I understand it, its American counterpart Rent the Runway is still doing well). It seems to me that as long as this concept of fashion exists, it wouldn't make much of a difference, would it? But then again, fashion is said to go in circles – but those circles last decades, you can't store anything for that long.
