Catching up with slow fashion

As every year, we de­vote our main fea­ture to the lat­est trends in fash­ion. How­ever, this time we focus on local de­sign­ers and so-called Slow Fash­ion, a con­cept that is grow­ing and gain­ing more fol­low­ers every day. De­sign­ers and brands like Clara Es­teve, Rita Row, Brain & Beast, Med Winds, About Ar­i­anne are just a few of the local pro­fes­sion­als fea­tured in this month's issue. Slow fash­ion, an al­ter­na­tive con­cept to fast and low cost fash­ion, is con­cerned about sus­tain­able man­u­fac­tur­ing, re­spect for the en­vi­ron­ment, use of or­ganic and re­cy­cled fab­rics, and re­spect for em­ploy­ees' rights. In ad­di­tion, local de­sign­ers man­u­fac­ture in Cat­alo­nia and boost local em­ploy­ment. Nowa­days, con­sumers con­cerned about their health care­fully study food la­bels and cos­met­ics. Do you do the same when buy­ing clothes? Do you pre­fer qual­ity or quan­tity? Do you want to know about the fab­ric used, where the clothes have been made and under what work­ing con­di­tions? Share your thoughts with us, and check out our web­site, www.​cat​alon​iato​day.​cat, our Face­book and Twit­ter, and lis­ten to our Catchat pod­cast on Sound­cloud. Stay tuned!
