Master's thesis of Design: Embracing mindfulness: Enriching slow fashion for human and environmental wellbeing

The research "Embracing mindfulness: Enriching slow fashion for human and environmental wellbeing" explores the slow fashion movement and its relationship to an emerging social trend for mindfulness. Slow fashion seems to embrace a concept at the heart of mindfulness practice: awareness. Mindfulness is a state of awareness that involves accepting a clear focus on present realities. The phenomenon of mindfulness is developing as a potential force for cultural change. The current predominant fashion system supports growth-focused, fast fashion, which has been destructive to the environment and human wellbeing.
