Week 9: Social Media Influencers and the Slow Fashion Movement

The centre of this week's topic concernered the Slow Fashion movement, Digital Citizenship and Social Media Influencers, and how they promote sustainability within the fashion industry. Activism, digital ethics and sustainability are some of the primary notions epitomised in one of the main readings for this week. Author Zhen L signifies the importance of "environmental, social and economic responsibility", and "how it should not be unique [to sell] propositions, but rather the norm within the fashion industry." (Zhen, L., et al. 2017, p. 15). Digital ethics and responsibilities affected by ‘slow fashion’ communications empower digital citizens to steer away from the fast fashion industry due to ethical, economical and environmental reasons. Furthermore, it enables individuals to live a more sustainable lifestyle to partake in a sustainable and eco-aware society.

What is slow fashion movement?

Slow fashion is the widespread reaction to fast fashion. It’s thoughtful, intentional, and holistic. It’s also an argument for hitting the brakes on excessive production, overcomplicated supply chains, and mindless consumption. (Stanton, 2021)

“Seventy-five percent of fashion supply chain material ends up in landfills. This amounts to ‘the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles per second.’” ("Pulse of the fashion industry 2019 — GLOBAL FASHION AGENDA", 2019)

The term 'Slow Fashion' was first neologized by author, design activist, and professor Kate Fletcher. Kate defines slow fashion as "quality-based rather than time-based." Other slow fashion pathfinders note that the movement promotes slower production, consolidates sustainability with ethics, and sequentially urges consumers to invest in well-made and lasting clothes.

How to use your voice and push back against fast fashion: 

Part of the support for the slow fashion movement involves activism against fast fashion. In reality, if brands don’t hear from customers, they have no reason to switch their supply chains. So, to use your voice and help stop fashion you can: 

Use social media platforms and ask fast fashion brands about production practices. 

You can write to brands, too via email! 

Some questions you can ask is: 

1. How do you package and ship your garments?

2. Does your brand give back or support any social initiatives?

3. Where do you source your textile materials?

4. Could you provide a transparent breakdown of your supply chain?

5. Do you have a third party to conduct regular audits of your factories?

What else can I do to contribute to the slow fashion movement? 

- Buy secondhand & vintage clothing 

- Avoid fast fashion brands 

- Repair, redesign & up-cycle 

- Rent, Lease & Swap

- Buy higher quality items with sustainable material as they tend to last longer.
