France Takes Aim at Fast Fashion with Levy on Asian E commerce Sites The French government's decision to impose a levy on ultra fast fashion items is being hailed as a bold move in the fight against environmental degradation and economic inequality.
This legislation targets companies like Shein, Temu, and AliExpress, which have built their business models around low quality, cheaply made clothes.
France has long been at the forefront of pushing back against fast fashion. The country's influential designers and thinkers pioneered the concept of high quality, sustainable clothing during the 4th Republic era.
