Slow fashion: the silent revolution that redefines style
Imagine a world where every piece of clothing you wear tells a story. A dress that has survived the decades, a trench coat made from recycled materials, or a pair of boots crafted by a dedicated artisan. This world already exists, and it's called slow fashion.
When fashion takes its time, it becomes precious
In contrast to fashion shows that change trends every two weeks, slow fashion offers a radical alternative: producing less, but better. It puts the time at the heart of the creative process. And often, behind the most committed pieces, there are brands and creators who go against the grain, starting with Marine Serre, a pioneer of post-apocalyptic chic fashion, where curtain drops become avant-garde dresses.
Her iconic crescent moon isn't just a graphic motif: it's a symbol. It represents a renewed cycle, a closed loop between what has been and what will be. More than 50% of her collections are made from upcycled textiles. Her workshop sometimes resembles a luxury thrift store more than a traditional fashion studio.
Another example: Bottter, the Caribbean creative duo at the helm of one of the most innovative fashion houses of the moment. Their motto: “Caribbean couture.” Their fight: to combine environmental activism, cultural storytelling, and marine aesthetics. They reuse fishing nets abandoned in the oceans to create technical, poetic, and always ultra-stylish pieces. Their floating silhouettes, as if taken from an aquatic dream, are manifestos.
The anecdote that changes everything: a parade... in a landfill
In 2020, during a confidential show organized in a former dump on the outskirts of Paris, a handful of guests discovered the new collection of young slow fashion designers. Dresses sewn from truck tarps, bags made from seat belts. Silence in the room. A fashion editor then blurted out: "This is perhaps the first time I've felt real emotion in a fashion show in a long time."
This moment sums it all up: slow fashion doesn't sell clothes. It sells meaning.
