slow fashion
Sustainable garment movement
Slow fashion is a movement and approach to clothing that emphasizes quality, sustainability, and ethical production over rapid trend cycles.
It opposes fast fashion's disposable model, favoring durable garments, fair labor practices, and environmental responsibility: She's embraced slow fashion—buying fewer pieces that last longer.
The term echoes "slow food," another reaction against industrial speed and standardization.
