Share
In todayâs world, we are surrounded by excessâoverflowing wardrobes, never-ending trends, and fashion fads that come and go in the blink of an eye. But have we stopped to ask ourselves âHow much do we truly need?âđ¤
Slow fashion is about making thoughtful, conscious choices. Itâs about appreciating quality over quantity, valuing ethical production, and understanding that our clothing choices impact both the planet and the people who make them. đąđ
Fast Fashion vs Slow Fashion âĄď¸ vs đ˘
Fast fashion is designed to be disposable. Big brands pump out new trends every week, pushing us to buy, wear, and toss. Itâs cheap, but at what cost? đ
Fast fashion:
-
Uses massive amounts of water and energy đ§âĄď¸
-
Exploits workers with low wages and poor conditions đ
-
Produces low-quality clothing that falls apart fast đ§Ľâ
-
Fills landfills with textile waste đď¸
Slow fashion is the opposite of fast fashionâit focuses on sustainable, ethical, and high-quality clothing that lasts. Instead of chasing cheap, mass-produced garments that end up in landfills, slow fashion encourages us to invest in timeless, well-made pieces. đĽ°
This movement supports fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally friendly production. It reminds us that fashion isnât just about looking goodâitâs about feeling good about what we wear and how it was made. đđ
