Slow fashion
No whole sales, production made to order, locally grown raw material, local work force.
Community and sustainability at its core.
Online stores, festivals that celebrate the local culture, production,arts and food.
Not only a garment is sold, a life style comes along with it.
"I think the people that are going to be successful in the US today are those who are completely vertical _ who offer an entire culture and vision". Billy Reid
Interesting fact : military uniforms have to be made in the US - federal laws forbid offshoring of such work.
Main centres of slow fashion : Florence and Nashville
Notes based on Fashionopolis by the amazing Dana Thomas.
