Slow Fashion: what is it and how to recognise it?

Wear, repair, remake, repeat
In a world where fast fashion has dominated for decades, a new philosophy has emerged, gaining ground and revolutionising the way we consume and perceive fashion: the Slow Fashion movement. In contrast to fast and disposable fashion, Slow Fashion advocates sustainability, durability and ethics at every step of the production chain. In this article, we will explore what Slow Fashion is and how basq company perfectly embodies the principles of this movement.

What is Slow Fashion?

Slow Fashion is a conscious and thoughtful approach to fashion that values quality over quantity. Unlike fast fashion, which promotes mass production of garments at low prices, Slow Fashion focuses on creating durable, timeless and high quality clothing. It is concerned with the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry and seeks to change the way consumers relate to their clothes.

The Slow Fashion Principles:

Sustainability: Slow Fashion strives to minimise environmental impact by using organic and recycled materials, as well as manufacturing processes that reduce pollution and waste.
Durability: In contrast to the disposable garments of fast fashion, Slow Fashion prioritises longevity. Garments are designed to stand the test of time in terms of style and quality.
Ethical Production: Respect for workers is fundamental to Slow Fashion. Fair and safe working conditions are promoted, and the exploitation of labour often associated with fast fashion is avoided.
Conscious Consumption: Slow Fashion encourages consumers to buy thoughtfully and invest in pieces they will truly love and wear for a long time, thus reducing the demand for overproduction.
