SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Sustainable fashion aims to create clothing that not only reduces the environmental impact but also considers the well-being of garment workers. Unfortunately, fast fashion, which prioritizes cheap and quickly disposable clothing, has become dominant in today's market. This leads to increased apparel consumption as people discard clothes after only a few uses, perpetuating the cycle.

However, there is a growing movement towards slow fashion, which opposes fast fashion. Slow fashion advocates for conscious production, distribution, and diverse fashion choices. It serves as a guardian of diversity and plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable fashion. By promoting a heightened awareness of the design process and its effects on resources, workers, communities, and ecosystems, slow fashion encourages a more thoughtful and mindful approach to clothing consumption.
