Are we in a slow fashion recession? The downfall of the slow fashion brand & how they are being set up to fail.

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we talk about why slow fashion brands struggle and often close down. Consumers usually go for price over sustainability, which makes it hard for ethical brands to compete with fast fashion. We discuss how advertising and social media drive our constant need for new clothes, and the allure of 'cheap dopamine'—a quick thrill that's addictive but unsustainable. We delve into how our personal mindset and actions are crucial to support slow fashion — it's about buying consciously, aligning purchases with our values, and pushing brands to prioritize sustainability. We also cover recycling challenges and the shared responsibility between individuals and systems.
