What would be the alternative? Do smaller franchises/no-name stores have a smaller carbon footprint?

The alternative is consuming less and moving away from such a consumer-heavy culture. Not merely eliminating the current big players.

I believe the point of "fast fashion" is that you buy new clothes more or less continuously to stay "trendy", rather than buying clothes and wearing them for several years until they're worn out.

it's not about the size of the company/store. they sell clothes that won't really last more than a season or two (and will be "out of fashion" by then anyway), so people buy a new set of $10 clothes every season.

the solution is to buy higher quality clothes, but less often.
