S1.E5.1 - Slow Living & Fashion

The slow fashion movement is gaining momentum, but what does it truly mean? In Episode Five of Slow Fashion Forward, Sandra and Ebba explore the roots, principles, and future of slow fashion. Can it be the antidote to fast fashion's environmental destruction? They discuss how slow fashion can reshape not only the industry but also our consumption habits and self-perception. This episode also features an interview with Line from Copenhagen, Denmark, as Line opens up about the challenges of slow fashion and reflects on how societal norms have conditioned us to consume fast fashion. Her insights reveal the complexities of breaking free from this cycle, even with growing awareness of sustainability.
