Why is the fashion industry so enamoured with the capsule wardrobe trend?


Can you survive with your wardrobe stripped down to the bare essentials? More and more people, especially in the fashion industry, are adopting the capsule wardrobe trend.

Throw open your cupboard of clothes and accessories and take a look inside. What do you see? Probably mounds and mounds of different fashion items that you have accumulated over the years. But do you really need them?
