I think we need to raise awareness among the general public about how the inflation of clothing products is one of the lowest among consumer products in general, and that this price inflation is kept low because garment brands and factories keep moving to the lowest costs countries to produce, and that even in these countries, garment workers earn the lowest wages among all workers--to let consumers understand the multiple layers of structural problems that need to be addressed. But at the same time, individuals are likely to keep purchasing from fast fashion if their wages do not grow faster--even in developed countries, and the advocacy for living wages therefore should also include advocacy for the purchase of clothes that is considered sustainable (from environmental, labor, etc. perspectives), so that we address the structural barriers from the consumer to the worker.
