Forever 21 Inc. 一直在進行額外融資談判,並與一個顧問團隊合作,以幫助其重組債務,但與潛在貸款人的談判到目前為止停滯不前。因此,焦點已轉向確保潛在的債務人持有貸款。據報,Forever 21 的代表沒有回復評論。Forever 21成立於1984年,曾在美國,歐洲,亞洲和拉丁美洲擁有800多家門店。如今這家快時尚巨頭如倒下,可見 Top Shop 和 H&M 也會有倒閉風險。

去年有報導指 H&M 寧燒 12 噸庫存 (一次燒光 43億美金的新衣服),也不願降價出售,這種絕不可持續的營運方式與世界環保大潮背道而馳。亞馬遜森林大火、兩極冰川急速溶化,都令全世界心急如焚,但快時尚公司仍然用這樣的態度生產絕大多數價廉而不物美的潮流垃圾,較有環保意識的消費者都會停止購買。如果你有逛 H&M,都不難發現門市經常門可羅雀。

此外,英國快時尚代表 Topshop 亦已關閉其中國門店及天貓旗艦店,在英國Topshop 的母公司 Arcadia 集團關閉了超過 200 間分店,近月於美國的 Topshop 及 Topman 門店也告關門。

市場生態的改變,不表示消費者不會購物,只是中低價模彷高檔品牌的新型快時尚商品更在出現在Instagram的購物欄目。近月看IG,發現不少時間都在瀏覽一些中下價IG商店,它們將租金省去把錢花在網路營銷上,拍攝 Instagrammable的 精美catalogue,在小小手機屏幕上看的商品相片其實你不清楚它的質素,但緊貼潮流並且並不昂貴,相信不少消費者會嘗試———這是巨型 fast fashion 公司沒有的靈活。
