Slow Fashion
Julia is an active supporter of slow fashion. What is ‘quick fashion,’ then? ‘Fast fashion’ is literally inexpensive, fashionable fabric and cost-effective clothes, but it doesn’t last long, unfortunately. Forever 21 is an example. Julia explained, “We demand lots of clothes cheap, so retailers have to produce in foreign factories where US labor laws don’t protect workers.” ‘Slow fashion’ is just the opposite — promoting good 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.
