New Lead
Slow fashion is a movement focused on slowing the consumption of clothing and apparel, both on an individual and global scale. An answer to the exploitation and waste generated by fast fashion, slow fashion does away with the fast-paced overproduction of low-quality garments by fast fashion in favor of higher quality, longer lasting garments, often made by local craftspeople. This slowed process promotes and preserves handicraft knowledge and the environment.

Old Lead for reference
Slow fashion is an aspect of sustainable fashion and a concept describing the opposite to fast fashion, part of the "slow movement" advocating for clothing and apparel manufacturing in respect to people, environment and animals. As such, contrary to the industrial practices of fast fashion conglomerates, slow fashion involves local artisans and the use of eco-friendly materials, with the goal of preserving crafts and the environment which, ultimately, provides value to all, slow fashion brands, consumers and retailers.
