epa12652833 Activists demonstrate against fast fashion outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, 16 January 2026. Activists are calling on the EU executive not to block France's landmark anti-fast-fashion bill, targeting the 'ultra-fast fashion' model characterized by high volume and rapid turnover, which is currently undergoing a mandatory EU compliance review. The demonstration coincides with high-level meetings between the European Commission and representatives from Shein and H&M. EPA/OLIVIER HOSLET
