Wages in Bangladesh start roughly at 37$ a month, the Rana Plaza disaster has forced companies like H & M, Inditex, owner of Zara chain, C & A, Primark and Tesco to endorse a safty plan. Who said "when an ice cream and a dress cost the same price there is a problem." Think of the real cost of fast fashion.
