Protecting The Proletariat
There are plenty of businesses that will happily employ teenagers within their sweatshops, where enormous piles of garments are created for the global need for tons of affordable clothing. These are the kinds of places where ‘employees’ are not covered by fair practices. If everyone became committed to slow fashion, then this abusive global practice would end. This was Julia’s main motivation for her wearing the same dress constantly, but there was more to be revealed.

Julia wanted to become a conscious consumer, one that does not tolerate the destruction of our planet by the fashion industry. With so many billions of people needing clothing like never before in human history, it is not surprising that the planet suffers as a result of this reaping of its essential resources. Julia would not become another number in the scheme, choosing a hemp dress made with fair-trade practices from a business called ‘Thought’ based in London. Now that the cat was out of the bag, how did people react?
