Why We Need to Rethink About Fashion – Slow Fashion for The future – Aparna Bhatnagar Saxena
April 21, 2022 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
The world of Fashion is one of the largest sources of waste and oppression. However, it is also something that is integral to our lives. We need a bottom-up and a top-down approach to rethink Fashion. And it can start with the triad of “conscious consumers – conscious producers – regulation”. The change can start with us, if we start relooking at our relationship with fashion by asking – what we buy?, why we buy? And how we can think again about how to buy again?
