Design de moda: fast fashion x slow fashion.

Abstract

The article, based on research for Doctoral thesis in Design, discusses the complex relationship between the fashion system and sustainability issues. The environmental impact of the ephemeral life cycle of fashion products, called fast fashion, and consumerism has been questioned, as a counter point came the slow fashion. A movement in the fashion that aims to reduce consumption, concerns about ethical practices, appreciation of handcrafted work that is durable and versatile. With the slow fashion the logic of the fashion system begins to change.
