The Bangladeshi children working 16 hours a day sewing dresses for H&M might have a thing or two to say about that.

That's them, not us, but you're right that's a problem with the fashion industry. I don't think it's caused by the fads though; the clothing industry would still exploit the cheapest available labor, even if they were making the same garments all of the time.

The problem here is that Bangladeshi children are cheaper than machines.
