Buying second-hand, vintage, etc is one great way – rather than something going to landfill – we re-wear and repair it. But also just being more clever about shopping for fashion in general – i.e. save up for items that you truly want rather than going shopping on a whim, looking for quality and craftsmanship so that clothes will last a lifetime and taking more time to better care for the clothes that we have in our wardrobes. These small things won’t cost a fortune nor the earth!

But then I realised that there is so much more to this, you can start to contribute with your own share by conscious shopping, mixing vintage clothing with less of new pieces, donate old clothes to charities. There are some amazingly looking design brands promoting slow fashion movement out there that are actually not that pricey but in fact quite affordable (considering that buying one high-quality piece is better that wasting your money on clothes that wear off in no time and are ready to be thrown away). Plus the trends come and go, it’s the style that truly endures!

I love this concept – the transparency and new approach to enabling consumers to learn more about the decisions made which informs what they are buying into. It slick and stylish and I look forward to following how people respond to this open approach to fashion design and manufacture.
