Slow Fashion Book Club meeting #8
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 – 16:00–Wednesday, June 11, 2025 – 18:00
International Library of Fashion Research presents Slow Fashion Book Club! Once a month, the book club will explore the intersection between fashion, environmentalism and social issues through a selected book. What impact does design, aesthetics and our sartorial choices have on the people around us and the planet? Slow Fashion Book Club is an open reading group for all seasoned industry nerds and curious newcomers.
This month's book is The World is On Fire But We're Still Buying Shoes by Alec Leach, a former fashion editor for streetwear publication Highsnobiety and the founder of sustainable fashion platform @future__dust. The book is a manifesto for a slower, more intentional approach to fashion, one that redefines what shopping is - and what it isn't. Join the discussion on Wednesday, 11th June 2025 at 18.45-20.00.
PS: This book is currently not available in Norway, but we're ordering it for book club members! If you'd like a copy, send an email to theslowfashionbookclub@gmail.com or DM us at @slowfashionbookclub on Instagram.
