Is In The Style a Fast Fashion Brand?

Yes, In The Style is a fast fashion brand.

Founded by white British Adam Frisby, In The Style is a fast fashion brand following in the footsteps of Boohoo and other fast fashion brands.

Despite appearing small, the brand turned over £17 million in 2019, making it a large e-tailor, and a business that *should* be responsible for its people and planetary impact.

Despite being glamourised on BBC Documentary, Breaking Fashion, the brand is yet to make it onto Wikipedia, or Fashion Revolution’s Fashion Transparency Index, but it does receive a ‘We Avoid’ rating on sustainable fashion rating platform Good On You. It remains completely devoid of information on its supply chain, and its “sustainability campaign” tells customers they can recycle their clothes at a charity shop or clothes bank. Nice way to avoid taking any responsibility there, In The Style.

Additionally, last year Adam Frisby enjoyed a colourful argument with myself, Aja Barber, and a few other sustainable fashion activists on Twitter. Highlights include him misunderstanding the difference between worker exploitation and child exploitation, among other insults and idiotic behaviour. (And yes, I kept the receipts).
