Slow Fashion vs Fast Fashion: A Beginners Guide

https://www.biome.com.au/blog/slow-fashion-vs-fast-fashion/


Fast Fashion is about:

  • Trend driven, inexpensive, poor quality, mass produced styles
  • Dangerous working conditions for workers making the clothes
  • Some workers not being paid for their work at all
  • Cheap, synthetic, non-biodegradable fabrics that do significant harm to the environmental
  • Brands that are not transparent in their processes

Slow Fashion champions:

  • Outfit repeating
  • Mending
  • Upcycling
  • Thrift shopping
  • Swapping
  • Sharing
  • Minimalism
  • Making clothes by hand

I am a fashion nimrod. My wife and kids buy all my clothes and I wear stuff thats 30 years old.
