Why Slow Fashion Makes Me Happy

 "Style is the perfection of a point of view" - Richard Eberhart

Slow fashion is more than just a trend, it's a lifestyle. 

It links directly to your inner self-image and projects this image into physical world in how you live, what you buy and even the way you dress. 

And yes, slow fashion can contribute to one's happiness.

The main attributes of 'slow fashion' philosophy - timelessness, versatility, quality and low maintenance - fit like jigsaw pieces into my minimalist world. I even built a new concept around it, and I call it Enlightened Minimalism.*

I love fashion, but I also love Nature. 

But can the love of fashion and the love of Nature truly coexist? 

The answer is yes, if you embrace mindful shopping and slow fashion philosophy.

Classic, timeless, versatile...

But the beauty of Nature still reminds us that everything else pales in comparison:
