OverviewSlow Fashions critiques troublesome concepts such as 'ecofashion' and 'ethical fashion' and re-considers their role in contemporary life. Anna Konig pays particular attention to the relationship between clothing and those who both make it and wear it. She thus looks at ways of reconciling a growing demand for fashion with the realities of environmental and economic sustainability, exploring not only the much-neglected area of fashion production, but also the interplay between the representation of fashion and the manner in which it is used.
