Micro trends, fashion giants releasing dozens of new collections every year, precarious conditions for textile workers, luxury brands shredding unworn garments, and ecosystems being destroyed by mountains of textile waste: fashion—and the fashion industry—are increasingly coming under the spotlight for their approach to consumption, production processes, and sustainability. With the exhibition CRITICAL CONSUMPTION, the MAK is viewing with a critical eye a sector that is unrivaled in the way it drives consumption, the desire for the new, and rapid change.
