We live in a world where there is a new trend every time a button is pressed, and new stock arrives almost every week; there’s a sense of some response toward the rescue. To be part of the revolution of moving away from fast fashion and embracing slow fashion that is gradually embracing the world, we are JOVI India.
In other words, what is slow fashion? And how is it crucial to the future of our world and the inhabitants of this planet?
Meaning of Slow Fashion
Slow fashion could be described as anti-precisionist, where the longevity of clothes is a primary concern rather than the speed at which the newest fashion trends are to be produced. It contrasts sharply with fast fashion, which features such factors as scale production, short lead times, and rapidly changing designs. Slow fashion promotes limited consumption and acquisition, emphasizing the quality of the clothes rather than the quantity or the rate at which they are produced and bought.
The key principle of slow fashion is basically “less is more,” that means quality is preferred over quantity. Unlike fast fashion, slow fashion encourages consumers to buy fewer clothes that are of good quality and that they embrace. It means being a conscious customer and buying things that are high quality, sustainable, and help the environment or artisans rather than contributing to fast fashion.
Why Slow Fashion Matters
Sustainability
Slow fashion focuses on the sustainability of the items and process used in production. It focuses on the fabrics that are organic, recycled, while the production process avoids polluting the environment and depleting any resources. It is quite the opposite to what fast fashion practices by using cheap and may be toxic such as polyester and other synthetic fibres that pollute the environment.
Ethical Production
Fast fashion hurts the environment, consumers’ health, and workers’ rights, paying very low wages and providing dangerous working conditions. Slow fashion is honest and sustainable concerning wages, working conditions for employees, and the social and environmental consequences of production. JOVI India works with artisans and small-scale producers who are respected and paid a fair wage for their services.
Timeless Design
Unlike fast fashion, slow fashion advocates for trendy clothes and garments that can last for several years. These articles of clothing are lasting, excellent quality, and can be worn throughout different seasons so there is no need for frequent shopping, which contributes to the creation of less waste.
Less is More
It gets you to consume less, and you do so with quality in mind. Do not clutter your wardrobe with poorly-made even if they are ‘in-fashion’ at the moment; rather, go for good quality clothes that are stylish and somewhat neutral in design. This approach is helpful in achieving the waste management goal; it also leads to more conscious procurement behavior.
