Personal journey to SFS Part 3/3
Redefining Wealth

In the words of John Ruskin, "There is no wealth but life." For me, this means transforming my childhood lessons about luxury into a broader understanding of value - where the most exquisite design respects both human creativity and planetary boundaries.

The luxury I grew up with taught me about quality. The education I pursued showed me about responsibility. The platform we're building will demonstrate how these two concepts are not just compatible, but inseparable.

Our revolution starts here - with a deep respect for craftsmanship, a commitment to education, and a vision of luxury that looks beyond the season, beyond the trend, and towards a regenerative future.

Best,
Alex

Personal journey to SFS Part 2/3
The Economic Awakening

The statistics were undeniable. A $115bn industry with a growth trajectory that seemed unstoppable, yet fundamentally unsustainable. More critically, the data revealed that luxury consumers - my own demographic - were responsible for a significant environmental footprint. The top 20% of earners create 2% of fashion's environmental impact, a statistic that struck me with both personal and professional significance.

Transforming Privilege into Purpose

My background in luxury fashion wasn't a contradiction to sustainability - it was the perfect foundation. I understood intimately what made a piece truly valuable: craftsmanship, longevity, and meaning. SFS platform became a bridge between the luxury I knew and the sustainable future I envisioned. Me and my colleagues saw an opportunity to create more than just a platform. We would build an ecosystem that empowers the next generation of fashion professionals to see sustainability not as a constraint, but as the most innovative business strategy.

The legislative landscape is evolving. The European Commission's proposed regulations will soon mandate producers' responsibility for textile product lifecycles. For students entering the fashion industry, understanding these frameworks isn't just important - it's essential. Our platform stands at this critical intersection: preparing young professionals to lead a revolution that honors the true essence of luxury - quality, craftsmanship, and responsible creation.

Best, Alex

Personal journey to SFS Part 1/3
My relationship with fashion began long before I understood its environmental implications - it started in the carefully curated closets of my childhood, where luxury was not just a statement, but a family legacy. Designer labels weren’t just clothing; they were cherished artifacts, meticulously selected pieces that told stories of craftsmanship, quality, and timeless elegance.

Growing up surrounded, I witnessed a world that celebrated the pinnacle of design and quality. My dad’s Armani blazer; mom’s Burberry coat was more than a garment - it was an investment, a piece of art that transcended seasonal trends. This early exposure taught me something profound about fashion that many miss: true luxury is about enduring value, not disposable consumption. But as my business and economics studies progressed, I began to see the stark contradiction. The very industry that had shaped my understanding of quality was simultaneously one of the most environmentally destructive sectors globally.

The Origins of Slow Fashion Show - 2020 Debut

Let’s take it back to the very beginning—2020—when we organized the very first Slow Fashion Show event.

In addition to the fashion show itself, we included an important element: small pitches from designers and industry professionals before each runway segment. These pitches offered a unique opportunity for the creators to share the stories and purpose behind their sustainable collections.

Hearing directly from the designers brought an extra layer of authenticity and connection to the event. Attendees left inspired not just by the designs but also educated about the holistic approach to ethical, mindful fashion.

This format set the tone for all future Slow Fashion Show events—prioritizing transparency, contextual understanding, and amplifying voices driving positive change in the industry.

The 2020 debut laid the foundation for Slow Fashion Show to evolve into the impactful platform it is today. We’re grateful for those meaningful designer pitches from the very start.

As we continue expanding the Slow Fashion Conference, it's important to look back on our previous editions. In 2022, the conference was part of the larger FOCUS: Wear Sustainably event, which we co-organized with the Czech Center in Stockholm .

During the day portion, the Czech Center hosted a lineup of talks, presentations, a clothing swap, and workshops. Our moderator Veronika skillfully guided these insightful discussions, welcoming the Slow Fashion Show in the evening.

Throughout the day, we heard from numerous Czech designers who came to share the importance of slow and sustainable fashion. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from international perspectives and build connections across the industry.

Revisiting our 2022 event reminds us of the power of collaboration. By joining forces with like-minded organizations, we're able to amplify important conversations and inspire even greater change.

We're grateful to have been part of FOCUS: Wear Sustainably and look forward to future partnerships that further our mission of promoting sustainable fashion.

Slow Fashion Conference - A Highlight of SFS 2024

As Slow Fashion Show expands its initiatives, we’re excited to share that the Slow Fashion Conference has become one of our newest projects.

Each SFS event has featured thought-provoking talks, discussions, and pitches from experts in the slow and sustainable fashion industry. SFS 2024 was no exception, as we were joined by an incredible lineup of speakers and moderators.

Over the course of two days, attendees had the opportunity to:
🌱 Hear the latest innovations at the intersection of textiles and technology
🧘‍♀️ Explore the concepts of spiritual styling and finding oneself
💼 Learn from designers and business owners forging a sustainable path
📊 Understand both the successes and failures of the industry’s sustainability efforts

These crucial topics are shaping the future of slow fashion. By addressing lifestyle choices, fashion’s impact, and the steps we can take - both big and small - we’re driving meaningful change.
Our moderators Frida and Ebba guided these important conversations, elevating diverse perspectives from the industry.

As we continue growing the Slow Fashion Conference, we’re committed to providing a platform for these vital dialogues. Stay tuned for updates on future events!

A big reason I decided to join Slow Fashion Show is of the philosophy of what Monika wanted to create. To me, Slow means a shift in mindset—a pause to question where things come from and where they end up. It doesn’t need to be philosophical, just cause it feels abstract or esoteric.

If we take a step back and reconsider how we’ve been taught to do things, we might realise that it doesn’t always make sense. Slowly realigning with Mother Nature, we can see that everything—wars, oppression, genocide, financial insecurity, exploitation—has reached a tipping point where our interconnected world is making us more aware of how our lives and choices impact others globally.

Although SFS is based in Sweden, our plattform spans across Europe and is globally connected. This gives understanding to the impacts we can make locally and internationally. We are not focused on rushing, achieving, or showing off, but on understanding, collaboration, interdisciplinary exchange, and meaningful change. It’s about embracing courage and contribute to positive impact, to keep questioning instead of settling into comfort. And this for me, is what our association stands for.

For my second post in this introduction series, I thought I would show some pictures of my time at SFS.

It all start at Slow Fashion Show 2022, I had just met some week before and she told me about needing volunteers for the show. I decided to join and was quickly part of helping out with hair, making sure the models were doing well in the cold (as the show was outside!!) and helped out with finishing touches front-stage.

Then there has been a lot of meetings, many online and some offline.

During Slow Fashion Show 2024 I mainly worked with our marketing channels and eventually took part of the day programme that organised with many interesting guests.

And I guess the podcast I don’t have to say much about? I think it’s better to listen ;)

Thank you for these years, so far, dear SFS members and for everyone making this dream and vision into reality. It brings me great joy to be part of this journey

Dear Community,

It is my turn to take over the introduction of our team, by introducing myself :-D

I joined Slow Fashion Show about two years ago, and it’s been a journey full of growth. Over this time, I’ve managed our marketing, joined the board, organised our third Slow Fashion Show, and most recently, launched Slow Fashion Forward.

I’ll admit, I never quite expected this path. But from the moment I met and shark, I sensed this aligned with my own vision. SFS has shown me that the fashion industry can be inclusive, creative, and sustainable.

My passion for sustainable textiles first began with my work in h**p, which led me to co-found .eu. Through that, I realised the environmental impact of cotton—one of the most widely used yet problematic fibers—and was driven to explore better alternatives. Since then I have studied various fashion and textile courses as well as sustainability, and culture courses, to build an understanding of fashion, textiles and its impact both socially and environmentally. I’ve seen positive change, since starting in fashion six years ago, and I believe SFS is helping lead that transformation. By empowering independent designers who value slow and sustainable production and bridging connections with creatives, innovators and policymakers, I truly believe lasting change is possible.

I hope these next posts will shine light on my time and why I am part of SFS, thank you for reading and being part of this!

Lots of Love,
Ebba
