Slow Fashion
Julia has clarified that she is a slow fashion admirer. Is the opposite of that familiar to you? The term used to describe inexpensive, stylish clothes that are not created to last is fast fashion. This category includes retailers such as Forever 21 and H&M. “We demand lots of clothes cheap, so retailers have to produce in foreign factories where US labor laws don’t protect workers,” explained the art teacher. Her advocacy is the opposite. She wants to promote fair labor practices and items of good quality.

Workers’ Rights
In the interest of saving more money, a lot of clothes are produced overseas. This way, for less money, companies can make more products. The factories, unfortunately, typically recruit children. What makes it even worse is that these underage workers do not have laws to protect them. By buying fewer pieces of clothing, Julia wants to improve things. The main reason behind her project is this, but what else is there?
