What happens to your discarded clothing?⁠
⁠
Only 10% are recycled and 8% are reused. Unfortunately the rest of it are either in landfill or incinerated. Many of these discarded clothes are in good condition; being unloved, deemed "out of fashion" and not put to good use. ⁠

Meet Wee, a Singaporean travelling within Europe while she slowfashion in these three months. ⁠

Sharing some snippets of her thoughts and expectations on her slow fashion journey. 😁
⁠
Why slowfashion : ⁠
"Since I moved to Berlin 3 years ago, I’ve weaned off any shopaholic habits as the city generally has a very casual and dress-down culture. I really enjoyed not spending on unnecessary shopping and having a basic wardrobe. I pledged to this campaign to consciously keep track of whether this is really the case and also to motivate myself to do more than the basic of not buying. I’m currently using this to document my journey on instagram so I could, hopefully, make my friends aware as well."⁠
⁠
How to slowfashion : ⁠
"I have already been quite comfortable with shopping less. However, as I explore the upcycling space, I am keen to work more with used fabric and keep them in circular use instead of throwing them away. " ⁠

As fashion changes at a speed of 52 times per year, our clothes consumption are increasing at an unprecedented pace. At the same time, consumers are throwing 36kg of shoes and clothes from their wardrobe this year.
This vicious cycle of chase-buy-throw needs to stop. It is time to make more conscious choices in how we see our clothes, how we purchase (or not) and how we can vote with our wallet to stop environmental destruction and unfair wages in the fashion industry.
