Fast fashion refers to cheap, mass-produced clothing often replicating the newest styles. Fast fashion makes shopping for clothes more affordable, but it comes at an environmental cost. The fashion industry emits more carbon than international flights and maritime shipping combined.
If the final product is cheap then you can guarantee that the people making it are not being treated fairly. Low wages, hazardous working conditions and lack of human rights continue to be the cost of producing cut rate fashion.
Slow fashion is about conscious shopping and wearing clothing with sustainability in mind, from the environment to social impacts.
High-quality materialsare used in the creation of slow fashion garments. For example, organic slow grown cotton allows for longer strands that can be woven more tightly.
It's your responsibility to use that purchasing power to support a more fair, equitable, and sustainable fashion industry for everyone.
