curated sustainability

If you’re into “slow food” — the ethical response to “fast food” — you probably want to know how the animals were treated or whether pesticides were used on your vegetables. Now, the “slow fashion” movement is in the same spirit.

“It’s about understanding the process or the origins of how things are made,” says Soraya Darabi, co-founder of the clothing line Zady. “Where our products come from, how they’re constructed and by whom. Slow fashion is really indicative of a movement of people who want to literally slow down.”

The Zady “slow fashion” t-shirt is made entirely in the U.S. by companies that Bédat says try to be eco- and labor friendly. It costs $36.
