The Bigger Picture!!

"If the body is an organism in culture, a cultural artefact, as author Elisabeth Wilson suggests in Adorned in Dreams - Fashion & Modernity, then Slow Fashion and Slow Textiles represent a collective statement of no, our bodies and identities cannot embody culture's prescriptive speeds of fast.

Where cotton fabric is concerned, legs are lost, additional fingers are grown and heads are twice their natural size in many parts of the world. Human deformation and tragedy exist because of fast fashion's long held race to the bottom antics. Agreements to ban endosulfan are only just taking place. Fashion cotton and human misery have had a long history.

Slow Fashion and Slow Textiles becomes a collective statement of no, our bodies and identities cannot embody culture's prescriptive speeds of fast."

Emma Neuberg, 2011
