Slow Fashion
Julia has developed an interest in slow fashion. What is, then, ‘quick fashion’? ‘Fast fashion’ is literally cheap, fashionable fabric and cost-effective clothing, but, unfortunately, it does not last long. An example is Forever 21. 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
Due to the increased demand for lower-quality made goods, many companies employ underage workers in their overseas factories. Worst of all, there are no protections for these children. By purchasing fewer clothing items, Julia curbs the desire to employ cheaper workers. While Julia’s decision was the primary reason for this, other factors played an important role.
