This research points out the recent transformations in the fashion
industry through the analyses of the strategies used by companies to
implement the fast fashion system. Growing phenomenon in the clothing
industry, fast fashion has as its main feature the acceleration of production
by multiplying the amount of collections. Its purpose is to stimulate the
speed of consumption in order to dispose the rising production, thus
ensuring profitability of companies. The changes in production and
strategies triggered by the implementation of the system respond to
changes in the configuration of the capitalist mode of production. Based on
the Marxian critique of political economy, we seek to understand the fast
fashion phenomenon relating it to key features of late capitalism, the current
moment of development of the mode of production. Late capitalism is
culturally expressed in what David Harvey (2007) called condition of
postmodernity and has the flexible accumulation as accumulation pattern.
Starting from the central hypothesis that the emergence and expansion of
the system result from demands imposed in the sphere of production and
not of consumption, we consider fast fashion the fashion presentation in the
condition of postmodernity. We seek to define how changes in the
production process to accelerate of capital turnover, precarious
employment, the deterritorialization of production and the trend towards
concentration and centralization of capital - striking features of late
capitalism - perform at fast fashion. In addition, through the analysis of an
important strategy used by large clothing retailers, the signed collections,
we investigate the production of the symbolic value of fashion product.
