    Beyond the Buy

    This project explores the rising importance of slow fashion and its shift away from a consumerism-driven culture. It examines the concept of "romantic consumerism," where emotions and social media heavily influence purchasing habits, often leading to overconsumption and environmental harm. Beyond the Buy highlights the slow fashion movement, emphasising thoughtful purchasing, sustainability, and making the most of what we already own.
    The project aims to critically analyse the impact of social media and influencers on fashion choices, addressing ethical concerns about promoting fashion in ways that prioritise longevity over fleeting trends. By challenging the fast fashion model, it advocates for a more sustainable approach that combines style with environmental responsibility. Ultimately, it encourages a cultural shift towards mindful consumerism, redefining how fashion is perceived and promoted for a more sustainable future.

    Great Experience

    I would say it is a great experience which you should definitely try because it teaches you so much about yourself and the industry you have chosen. I would say remember the submission dates, maybe write them down, as that really helped me stay on track.
