consumption

In the 19th century, there was a terrible disease called consumption, which was later proved to be tuberculosis. It's a debilitating and emaciating disease, but strangely, in the past, both in society and in works of art, they were trying to beautify the disease, so it turned into a fashion disease. It is said that the Romantic poet Byron once said, "I wish I could die of tuberculosis." The novelist George Sand, speaking of her lover, composer Fr D ric Chopin, said that he "coughed gracefully".Since then, consumption has become a brief expression of many human impulses. These impulses are usually very attractive, but the impact is extremely bad. They also show disregard for their own reality, including the desire to buy a lot of clothes to fill the wardrobe. Long ago, consumption usually implied the death of a person; today, consumption means the destruction of the earth.However, when it comes to clothes, we always ignore the fact that human beings and moths are not the only consumers, and that consumer behavior does not only refer to purchasing.Sometimes, for example, it is also associated with microorganisms. Microorganisms are the next hot topic (or a little bit) in clothing-related issues, where not only are the materials we use to make clothes the focus of our research, but also what happens when clothes cannot be worn - especially when those materials are criticized as part of the cause of the marine plastic crisis. The present. And those materials are polyester fibers.
