Words Brittany Pooley<br />
GO SLOW<br />
Slow Fashion is a fashion philosophy. It focuses on<br />
the ethics behind the processes and resources used<br />
to make clothing. There are many approaches to<br />
slow fashion, so seek out brands that are transparent<br />
about theirs. Start easy by keeping an eye out for<br />
labels with smaller runs and made-to-order garments.<br />

SHOP LOCAL<br />
Buying locally-made fashion pieces<br />
is a sustainable approach to fashion<br />
consumption. Not only are you supporting<br />
your local economy, you’re also backing the<br />
designers and makers of your local fashion<br />
community. With a high expectation for<br />
social responsibility, New Zealand-made<br />
goods ensure the quality of your product<br />
and the wellbeing of the people behind it.<br />
