Slow Fashion
Julia strongly supports the “slow fashion” movement. “Fast fashion” is the typical, cost-effective, trendy but sadly not very long-lasting clothing and fabrics most of us are used to. Stores like H&M and Forever 21 are examples of places selling fast fashion. “We demand lots of clothes cheap, so retailers have to produce in foreign factories where US labor laws don’t protect workers,” Julia explained.
“Slow fashion” is the exact opposite. “Slow fashion” promotes the idea of high-quality materials and products and fair practices when it comes to labor. Julia is also trying to send a message about another ever-growing problem.
