The Rise of Slow Fashion - Sustainability
“In total, up to 85% of textiles go into landfills each year. That’s enough to fill the Sydney harbor annually.”
It’s no longer a secret - the fashion industry is notorious for its unsustainable, unethical practices. And as the demand for trendy, seasonal, products increases, so do damaging manufacturing methods. The main culprit? Seasonal or fast fashion. This business model requires rapid production, putting a strain on garment workers and the environment. To put it simply, low prices are not always beneficial. In fact, slow fashion presents numerous benefits that promise to heal the environment and reconstruct the shopping experience for the better.
BENEFITS OF SLOW FASHION
Slow Fashion is More Sustainable
Slow fashion consists of eco-friendly certified materials that have a low carbon footprint. Additionally, slow fashion preserves the environment’s resources and lowers the CO2 emissions required to produce fashion products at a rapid pace.

Slow Fashion is More Ethical
Slow fashion advocates for fair working conditions, ultimately cultivating a more ethical industry. As the name implies, fast fashion demands quick production and puts factory workers and local communities at risk for overexposure to pollution and toxic chemicals. Factory employees also earn low wages, further reinforcing the unfair conditions they face. Alternatively, slow fashion presents better circumstances for those near factories, as consumption is significantly reduced. Slow fashion also demands workers are fairly compensated for their labor.
