If you watch [this Climate Town video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CkgCYPe68Q), then absolutely not, the disposable fast fashion we have today is not better. It's cheaper, but it's not higher quality, it requires trans-continental shipping, and it absolutely gets thrown away in ridiculous amounts.

Overall, it's worse in just about every metric other than "I can get this fun shirt online at 2am for $6."

Disposable fashion is driven by customer preferences. Lots of people like frequently buying cheap clothes.
