ver the past few years, I have become increasingly aware of my impact on our planet, particularly in relation to my purchasing choices. The alarming rate at which clothing is manufactured and consumed poses significant risks to both the environment and the people involved. In this critical situation, consumers hold the key to a solution. My objective ijective is to educate and empower others to contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy. By cultivating thoughtful and timeless wardrobes that resonate with individuals' passions and values, we can collectively drive positive change. This zine serves as a guide, providing inspiration and insights to those who share my concerns or simply wish to deepen their understanding of this issue. It aims to foster a sense of adaptation and encourage informed decision-making.
CAPSULE WARDROBE
A Capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of versatile and timeless garments that can be mixed and matched to allow the wearer to create multiple outfits. The clothing within a capsule wardrobe is usually high quality and can be worn up or down depending on the occasion. By embracing a capsule wardrobe, individuals can reduce clutter, simplify outfit choices and, most importantly, promote a more sustainable life.
In order to maintain a minimalist lifestyle, it is important to ask yourself questions regarding the reasons and ways something adds value to your life. When decluttering or organizing your closet, simple questions can be posed, such as: Does it align with my day-to-day lifestyle? Does it currently fit my body well? Does it complement my existing wardrobe? Do I genuinely love it? By surrounding yourself with garments and possessions that bring happiness, it becomes significantly easier to adhere to this way of living.

SLOW FASHION
by intertwining slow fashion and care into our lifestyle, we not only make conscious choices that benefit the planet, but also cultivate a space for harmony and balance in our lives.
There are many forms of slow fashion, meaning individuals have an abundance of choices when incorporating them into our wardrobes and lifestyle. By supporting small brands and engaging in slow crafts, we can collectively slow down our consumption and create more value in our lives. Amy Goacher - 2020
