Slow Fashion
Julia is an active slow-fashion supporter. What is then, ‘fast fashion’? ‘Fast fashion’ is simply cheap, trendy fabric and cost-effective clothing, but, sadly, it does not last long. An example is Forever 21. We demand lots of cheap clothing, Julia explained, “so retailers have to produce in foreign factories where workers are not protected by US labor laws.” Slow fashion is just the opposite—promoting high quality and fair labor practices.

Workers’ Rights
With large quantities of clothing being produced abroad to meet the rising demand for cheaper goods, many companies unethically employ underage workers in their factories. What’s worse is that there are no rules in place to protect these youngsters. By buying fewer pieces of clothes, Julia helps to stem the demand for cheaper labor. Although Julia’s decision is the main reason for this, it’s not the only one.
