- mc32 6y agoI imagine it has to do with second hand clothing stores/goodwill, but I could be wrong.
- danielchavez 6y agoOh I see, well I definitely see the value in those spaces, Im kind of interested in the idea of archiving anything thats out there so that maybe people can realize all the cool clothes thats already been produced rather than looking to the new stuff thats coming out.
- Winterflow3r 6y agoI'm also super interested in visual search - so it might be cool to add a kind of visual search engine to your site where you could upload a pic and it would search your collection for a similar outfit.
- RobertKerans 6y agoOpposite of fast fashion (rapidly created clothing based off catwalk trend mass produced in vast amounts, normally in very poor working conditions, see Primark, H&M, Zara, GAP, Uniqlo, TopShop etc). Cheap, generally fairly low quality, aim is to encourage people to buy more and discard their "old" clothes. So slow fashion aims to be the opposite, to slow consumerism (sustainable working conditions, materials, emphasis on locality where possible, etc). Obviously more expensive as new clothes removes the mass production [sweatshop] element and uses higher quality materials that won't fail as quickly. As sibling comment says second hand clothes are major part of this
