Eco Fashion tips! Number II!





Eco fashion has moved from a trend to a full scale movement; key voices within the industry are starting to call for a rethink on our extraordinary levels of clothes consumption. Lets be honest, we're all guilty of side stepping our eco-fashion conscience sometimes; it doesn't seem easy to be an eco goddess 100% of the time.

Tip Number 2 - Go slow

So you've heard of fast fashion, but these days it's all about slow fashion, which promotes making responsible consumer choices by purchasing fewer; better quality clothes. The head of the London College of Fashion, Dr Frances Corner says: "We have to think more carefully before we buy, we have to buy fewer clothes anyway, and pay more for them - and not subsidise people who're living sometimes on 15p a week so we can change our image all the time."
