🌿 Fast Fashion vs. Slow Fashion: A Visual Guide

“One is made to last a season. The other is made to last a lifetime.”

🧵 What Is Fast Fashion?

Fast fashion is the mass production of cheap clothing that mimics current trends. It’s designed for quick turnover—what’s “in” this month ends up in landfills the next.

🔺 Key Traits:

  • Ultra-low prices

  • Poor-quality materials

  • Weekly style drops

  • Unethical labor practices

  • High environmental impact

🌱 What Is Slow Fashion?

Slow fashion values the craft, people, and planet behind your clothing. It’s mindful, intentional, and rooted in ethics.

🔻 Key Traits:

  • Natural or recycled fibres

  • Small-batch production

  • Transparent supply chains

  • Timeless, versatile styles

  • Low-waste processes
