fashion is, per definition, a phenomenon related to time: a popular expression in a certain time and context. this also affects the perception of what is and should be made more sustainable - if fashion should be "fast" or "slow" - or if it should be more exclusive or inclusive. like much other design, the objects of fashion exist in the interzone between desire and discard along a temporal axis, between the shimmering urge towards life and the thermodynamic fate of death. as noted by cultural theorist brian thill, "waste is every object, plus time."
