Dress more solidarity and sustainable is a trend.And it is called Slow Fashion (slow fashion), a conscious, solidarity, ecological and more responsible fashion.“Sustainable fashion is the one that promotes a way of producing that takes care of our well -being, as well as other living beings that live on the planet and the planet itself.In addition, look for solutions to produce clothing so that it generates value for the workers of the supply chain, with employment and decent conditions and fair for all, ”says Gema Gómez, creator of Slow Fashion Next, a professional fashion professional platform. A continuación, se detalla todo lo concerniente a la ropa de moda lenta.

Every year Europeans throw in the trash between one and a half million and two million tons of clothing, according to the study 'Renewable resources, the biotechnology of plants' coordinated by the Polish scientist Ryszard Kozlowski, director of the European Institute of Natural Fibers.And Spain is not far behind in the frantic purchase of garments that end in the container.Did you know that each citizen acquires between eight and nine kilos of clothes a year?But there is also a lot of waste: about 390.000 tons of garments and other textiles end in the garbage can, according to the Spanish Association of Social and Solidarity Economy Recovers.

Nothing to wear?Think twice

Este modelo de ropa "de usar y tirar" tiene numerosos impactos sociales y ambientales negativos: las prendas de vestir son responsables del 2 % de las emisiones de dióxido de carbono (CO2) a la atmósfera -principal gas causante del efecto invernadero y del consecuente cambio climático-, y también de entre el 6 % y el 8 % del consumo de agua, según la iniciativa WRAP, que quiere extender la economía circular y la reducción de residuos de empresas y ciudadanos de todo el mundo.

"Fashion is the logical place where we begin to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability and carry more supportive bus."We should adopt sustainable and supportive activity when dressing: fashion luxury should reside in sustainability and quality of clothing, not in compulsive use," says Zeitz.Image: Belchonock

Solidarity and sustainable closet...

Moda lenta: el reto de hacer tu armario más solidario

But is there any way of making a more supportive, responsible and sustainable closet?"The first thing we have to consider is whether we need to acquire so much clothes: you have to buy less.And, when we do, think about the consequences of our purchase, both its pollution on the planet and its role in the creation of decent employment, "says Gomez.

And it is not only about stopping the compulsive purchase impulse of new garments (an average citizen buys up to 60% more garments per year than 15 years ago, according to Greenpeace). También hay que mantenerla más tiempo dentro del armario: camisetas, pantalones vaqueros y zapatillas de deporte tienen hoy una vida mucho más reducida y apenas aguantan la mitad del tiempo en el guardarropa antes de decidir tirarlas."It is difficult to resist the temptation of a good offer, but this rapid fashion trend makes us consume and generate waste above the capacity of our planet, and in an incompatible way with solidarity values for workers in the sector,"Kirsten Brodde, head of the "Fashion Dotox" campaign of Greenpeace says.

In addition, the Spanish cabinets, says Gomez, are full of garments that pollute both when producing it and every time it is washed: "The polyester is present in 60% of the tissues, and every time we wash them they give offmicroplastics that pollute the seas ".Image: Belchonock

Long life to the shirt

And can the solution be recycling?Recycling a garment is not as simple as it seems.The process not only pollutes the planet, but the low quality of the fibers explains that this procedure has ceased to be profitable.On the contrary, increasing the quality and durability of garments can be an essential step to make a more sustainable and supportive closet for all."More sustainable and solidarity options include buying second -hand clothes or investing in brands that are doing things right, contributing to the value we were talking about," adds the director of Slow Fashion Next.

And when he gets tired of his old woman, and very exploited, shirt?Then, there is still room for another trend that furies not only in the street, but also on social networks: customize the garment and hug the DIY movement (do it yourself).In other words: do it yourself.And delight a new life, longer, to that suffered shirt that has been in the closet for months.In addition, who knows if it will not be a trend in 20 years...
