Is your wardrobe cluttered with post-purchase regret? Had a “What was I thinking moment” once too often? If you are lured by the latest thing, Fashion Quarterly could soon label you as passé. 

In this vibrant, entertaining talk, Miriam will disrobe the seduction of affordability. Cheap and cheerful is out. The slow movement is fast approaching down the catwalk as fashion moves from an era of over-consumption to anti-consumption. 

Nearly two decades after Naomi Klein’s startling No Logo had marketers and GMs scoffing, slow fashion is shaking up global consumption and production for a rapid seismic shift. How will businesses react? And what shoes will go with that?
