Slow fashion is the idea that clothing should be made ethically, using solid materials and styles that last, and preferably materials with a low ecological footprint.

Supporting slow fashion means shopping locally at boutiques which investigate their sources, buying from local seamstresses or tailors, and avoiding box stores as much as possible. For me, this is a pretty easy task as my town is full of small luxury boutiques with reasonable prices.

Supporting slow fashion means putting money into the pockets of everyone involved in garment manufacture, from designer to point of sale, and substantially reduces your slavery footprint.
