What do you think is the biggest (or multiple) fashion consumer difference in EU vs US, or elsewhere?

It seems like there is a stronger preference/proclivity from US consumers for fast fashion vs EU (have seen a couple data points supporting this but not from concrete sources). Also wonder if the EU is further along in true sustainable fashion/supply chain efforts vs the US given EU leadership in the space

Another thing to mention is that there's a bunch of indie brands, that still work with old factories and innovate with cuts and style. Plus there's just the good old _I'm too poor to buy cheap clothes_ which a lot of folks (not just US) don't get, but that's more of an education issue.

I don't want to sound disrespectful, but most of the US just doesn't care about fashion, and this dictates just different retail needs. There's also just little fabrics innovation/tradition in US manufacturing. Last time I checked most of the Outlier stuff is still sewn (Portugal) and twilled (Italy/Swiss) in Europe.

former worker in fashion. What I felt: - high fashion is fairly global, comparable to art. - fast fashion is as prevalent in the EU as in the US. But the US has a higher volume per consumer (of ff). - culture and beauty standarts are the main differences. diverging ready to wear, day-to-day wardrobe and ad campaigns.
