Abstract or Introduction
This short text is about social and enviromental issuse of the fashion industry and the question if labels could improve the industry.
According to the European Research Service about 5 % of the household expenditure in the EU is spent on clothing and footwear. The average German buys 60 items of clothing a year of which they do not wear 18% more than twice at all. 20 % of the items are not worn more often than four times a year.
However, the wish of wearing fair fashion has constantly increased in the last few years3 because consumers have become aware of the problems of fast fashion. These changes have triggered a different approach with some consumers. They look for clothes that are produced sustainably.
