Consumerism

“Where fashion is about newness and consumption and want, clothing is about enduring value and need,” he writes. “Clothing is cherished, cared for, repaired, passed on. Where fashion is fast, clothing is slow. Clothing is about making better and consuming less, and because of that is good for the people that make it, good for the people who wear it and good for the planet.” Fashion, he says, is “social manipulation.”
