Slow Fashion
Julia is an active slow-fashion follower. What is, then, ‘fast fashion’? ‘Fast fashion’ is simply cheap, trendy fabric and cost-effective garments. However, alas, it does not last long. An illustration is Forever 21. We demand tons of inexpensive clothing, Julia clarified, “so retailers have to produce in foreign factories where US labor laws do not protect workers.” Slow fashion is just the opposite—promoting high production and decent labor standards.

Workers’ Rights
With vast amounts of garments being made overseas to meet the rising demand for affordable goods, many firms unethically employ underage employees in their factories. What’s worst is that there are no rules in effect to safeguard these youngsters. By consuming smaller items of clothes, Julia manages to stem the demand for inexpensive labor. Although Julia’s choice is the biggest explanation for this, it’s not the only one.
