\"Our supply chain is fast, so when a demand is placed in front of us, we are able to react and deliver quickly,\" Fashion Nova CEO Richard Saghian told \"GMA.\" \"Speed and reaction are what keeps our customers loyal and allows us to grow.\"

Fashion historian, archivist, adviser and administrator for fashion studies at Fordham University Allison Pfingst, said that while the pandemic has had an enormous impact on people's income, the unethically low price point of fast fashion isn't going to lose its appeal.

\"However, I think it's very possible that the pace of fast fashion will slow both in terms of production and consumption,\" said Pfingst. \"Fast fashion relies on a global supply chain that has been dramatically affected by the spread of COVID-19. I don't think brands will be able to rely on the same consistent, constant international production and distribution they had previously.\"
