Have you noticed how fashion trends seem to change every week? You’re not imagining it. The industry has created a new concept: micro-seasons. A dangerous cycle with major consequences for the environment, society – and the way we consume.
What are micro-seasons—and why are they a problem?
Fashion used to follow the rhythm of the four seasons. Today, some fast fashion brands launch up to 52 collections per year—that’s one per week. The goal? To create a constant sense of urgency and obsolescence, pushing consumers to believe their clothes are already out of style… before they’ve even had time to wear them.
This leads to massive overproduction and turns clothing into disposable goods.
The environmental cost is staggering
Creating that much clothing consumes a huge amount of resources: water, energy, chemicals, land… According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global CO₂ emissions—more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.
A few sobering facts:
• It takes 2,700 liters of water to produce just one cotton t-shirt—the amount one person drinks in 2.5 years.
• 85% of textiles produced annually end up in landfills or incinerated.
• Every second, one truckload of clothing is thrown away somewhere in the world.
This take-make-waste model is simply unsustainable.
Human and psychological consequences
Behind the low prices lie hidden realities: poverty wages, unsafe working conditions, toxic environments—especially in Global South countries.
But the damage isn’t just industrial. For consumers, this model fuels anxiety, compulsive shopping, and the constant pressure to keep up. It disconnects us from the true value of what we wear and encourages a mindset of disposability.
Singulaar: Slowing down for better choices
At Singulaar, we’ve chosen a different path. We believe in fashion that lasts. Our sneakers don’t follow short-lived trends—they’re designed to stand the test of time, combining elegance, comfort, and purpose.
Our commitments:
• Limited, thoughtful collections
• Sustainable materials, recycled or bio-based
• Ethical production, local and low-impact
• Timeless design, free from fast fashion cycles
Less volume, more value. That’s our philosophy.
Buy less. Choose better. Make it matter.
Building a responsible wardrobe doesn’t mean giving up style—it means bringing meaning back into what we wear. It means supporting brands that respect people, the planet, and your intelligence.
Each pair of Singulaar sneakers is a statement: yes, fashion can be beautiful, ethical, and built to last.
