slow fashion is the concept of clothing being more quality-based and ethical, opposite to fast fashion. it's beneficial because it supports smaller companies and artisans, it can last longer and be of higher quality, and it's better for people and the environment. Slow fashion can also include reusing and recycling old clothing.

An idea known as "slow fashion" is the "widespread reaction to fast fashion" (https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/what-is-slow-fashion). It includes encouraging slower clothes production and using sustainable resources, as well as decreasing the amount of landfill waste the fashion field produces. By having slower production schedules, smaller collections, and no waste designs, fashion brands and companies can help benefit our planet instead of add to its waste.

"Seventy-five percent of fashion supply chain material ends up in landfills. This amounts to 'the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles per second.'"
- Pulse of the Fashion Industry 2018 Report

Prior to becoming a slow fashion advocate, I was part of the fast fashion problem. I purchased far more than I wore and donated most of it to overwhelmed secondhand shops. My old clothes undoubtedly ended up in a landfill. Since reforming from those shopaholic ways and embracing slow fashion, I've learned how to thoughtfully purchase pieces I will have for a lifetime. Conveniently, I've also saved money.

Slow fashion is the widespread reaction to fast fashion. It's thoughtful, intentional, and holistic. It's also an argument for hitting the brakes on excessive production, overcomplicated supply chains, and mindless consumption. The term was coined by Kate Fletcher, professor of Sustainability, Design, and Fashion at the University of the Arts London's Centre for Sustainable Fashion, after the slow food movement grew popular. Other slow fashion pioneers explain the movement as follows:

Slow fashion is the movement of designing, creating, and buying garments for quality and longevity. It encourages slower production schedules, fair wages, lower carbon footprints, and (ideally) zero waste. -
Slow fashion represents all things "eco," "ethical," and "green" in one unified movement... the 'slow approach' intervenes as a revolutionary process in the contemporary world because it encourages taking time to ensure quality production, to give value to the product, and contemplate the connection with the environment. - Slow Factory Study NY

Slow fashion is about consuming and creating fashion consciously and with integrity. It connects social and environmental awareness and responsibility with the pleasure of wearing beautiful, well-made, and lasting clothing (as compared to the immediate gratification of fast Fashion). - Kat Collings, Editor in Chief at Who What Wear

While slow, ethical, and sustainable fashion all describe efforts towards an aspirational goal-rethinking our relationship to clothes-slow fashion combines a brand's practices with a customer's shopping habits. The movement works towards creating an industry that benefits the planet and all people. In a perfect world, fashion would just be slow fashion, but we're not there yet.

Brands Creating Clothing Made To Last

Fast fashion corporations spit new collections onto sales floors almost every week. The Pulse of the Fashion Industry's 2018 report states that less than one percent of all clothing materials are recycled into new garments. It summarizes that "much of today's production is designed neither for longevity nor recycling, but rather for short life cycles to encourage consumers to buy anew."

Slow fashion flips this model on its head. With slower production schedules, small batch collections, and zero waste designs, slow fashion brands aim to reduce the textile waste clogging our landfills. Instead of chasing trends, these companies utilize enduring styles with layering options and create pieces that are classic and versatile. This gives customers the ability to keep garments for a lifetime.

"Instead of chasing trends, slow fashion brands utilize enduring styles with layering options and create pieces that are classic and versatile."

Yet, this is a moot point without the inclusion of high-quality materials. If brands are creating clothing built to last, the fabric must hold up over time. Slow fashion retailers will often use linen, organic cotton, or Tencel to create pieces sturdy enough to weather wardrobe storms and gentle enough to keep the environmental impact low.

In addition to caring for the planet through thoughtful design, slow fashion companies produce clothing in-house or locally, allowing for full control over the supply chain process and labor conditions. There's no rush to scale quickly or create items to please the masses. This not-so-new take on the industry infuses value into every seam, lining, and fold of a lovingly crafted garment.

Slow fashion's barrier to entry is fairly low-anyone can join the movement. Here are a few ways to get involved:

1. Create a love story. Look through your closet and recount the history of some of your favorite pieces. This can be as simple as remembering the time you spilled spaghetti on (and then saved!) your white t-shirt, or as grand as holding space for a piece of clothing passed down by a loved one. Put life back into your closet!

2. Build a capsule wardrobe. This wardrobe method requires you to get real about what clothing actually makes sense for your lifestyle. Only a select amount of items can make up a capsule wardrobe. Your clothes must be as practical as they are stylish.

3. Make thoughtful purchases. Begin by giving up the urge to impulse buy. Phone a friend before splurging on a new pair of shoes, or consult your current wardrobe before purchasing an item that won't work with anything you own.

4. Look to expert guides. Here are a few to get you started: Ethical & Sustainable Clothing Brands, Ethical Shoes, Affordable (Ethical) Clothing Brands, & Organic Clothing Brands.

5. Do some research. In the inevitable situation that you discover a new slow fashion brand, take time to vet the company, and ensure that you're investing your dollars wisely. Poke around the company's website for specifics about the design process. Is it slow, sustainable, and ethical for everyone involved? Does the brand disclose how and where the clothes are made? How many collections a year does the brand produce? Answering these and like-minded questions will illuminate whether or not a company practices what it preaches.

The Fight Against Fast Fashion: Making Your Voice Heard

Including fast fashion brands in the fight for a better industry is essential. If brands don't hear from customers, they have no reason to change their supply chains. Don't get discouraged if you can't purchase every fancy minimalist garment, you can still do your part to push for fair fashion by using your voice. Here's how:

Frequent the mall?
Stop by your favorite fast fashion store and inquire about the brand's sustainable practices and ethical supply chain efforts. Chances are, employees won't have any information for you; however, you'll start an important conversation that may travel up the management chain. The more people asking questions, the more likely the company will listen.

Love social media?
Take to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to ask fast fashion brands about production practices. Fashion Revolution has a great template for this.

A fan of email?
You can write to brands, too! Use the email template included in this piece as a jumping-off point.
