"Fashionopolis" by Roxana Breceda 
  

Fast fashion’s rapid nonstop cycles are impacting the environment and labor rights. Inspired by Dana Thomas’s book “Fashionopolis” this duality drawing depicts a city that has been taken over by the over consumption of fast fashion. Fashionopolis is drowned in unwanted clothing and waste. Generated from the same capitalist dynamics that produce fast fashion shopping centers also constitute a form of fast architecture. The community than starts to find creative ways to repurpose clothes and the fast architecture. The community utilizes unwanted clothing as building material, and pavement. Sewing becomes a unisex and essential skill, for people to alter and design their own clothing. Fashion was been transformed in to a collective, sociable process where people worked and communicate with each other.
