Slow Fashion
Julia is an active supporter of slow-fashion. What is ‘quick fashion,’ then? Literally, ‘fast fashion’ is cheap, fashionable fabric and cost-effective clothing, but it doesn’t last long, unfortunately. Forever 21 is an example. 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
Many companies unethically hire underage workers to meet the growing demand for cheaper products since large quantities of clothing are manufactured abroad. Worse still, no regulations are in place to protect these kids. Julia helps decrease the desire for cheaper work by purchasing less clothing. While the principal reason is Julia’s decision, it is not the only one.
