5th anniversary of the DAILY DAY BY LAGOFRA store at CCBombarda

What is slow fashion and how to join the movement?
In a world that has embraced consumerism, slow fashion is an alternative to the market, that carefully considers the processes and resources required to make clothing.

A culture of producing and buying at each new season was created, shortening the product's life cycle, which is produced with less quality and is discarded more quickly.
