Slow Fashion Brands: Kid Philosophy

What is Slow Fashion?

Hey, guys, I’m back with another sustainable brand pick of the week. This brand goes a little more above and beyond when it comes to sustainability. They are a slow fashion brand called Kid Philosophy. You might be wondering what slow fashion is if you’re not familiar with the sustainable fashion world and all of its terms. It can be a confusing world to navigate. But slow fashion is a popular way that fashion brands try to reduce their waste by producing high quality, locally sourced clothing that is made to order by craftsman seamstresses. Typically slow fashion brands are a small business that only sews a small selection of designs. That way they don’t have pre-made items that end up not being bought and as a result get thrown into the landfill.

The Counterculture

The term slow fashion was coined as the counterculture to the fast fashion business model. It is reported that brands like H&M burn 12 tons of unsold garments every year. The idea behind slow fashion is that you are investing in a quality made piece that is simple and elegant enough to stay in your closet and be passed down to other people’s closets for a long long time. And even if these items do get thrown in the landfill at least they are made of natural materials like linen, hemp, cotton, silk, and tencel so that they can bio-degrade.

The Fashion Industry Is Destroying Our Planet

Since the fashion industry is the second largest contributor to our global waste crisis it is important that the slow fashion movement sets fire to these large fast fashion companies that are destroying our planet at an alarming rate. That is why am introducing you to some of my favorite slow fashion brands. In the hopes that you will fall in love with these brands and what they stand for as much as I have.

One of My Favorite Linen Brands

Kid Philosophy is a brand based out of the Ukraine that specializes in comfortable yet feminine clothing. They designed soft durable linen in every color you can think of. They strive to create designs that are everlasting. Kid Philosophy follow the fundamental principle that clothing should be bought based on quality, not quantity. So they have designed everyday basics that everyone can use in their wardrobe. They ensure that their clothing is durable, well-made, and thoughtfully designed so it transitions through the day and the seasons. That way you have confidence in your clothing that fits your everyday routine. And you can grab each item from your closet again and again.

Kid Philosophy Linen Pants

I fell in love with all of their designs and decided I needed some comfortable linen pants that I could easily transition from working at home to going out and about without changing. I loved adding this neutral pink clay color to my wardrobe. It is a soft color that I can use with all my whites and other neutral colors and looks really great with pinks, and purples. I highly reccomend checking these out if you are in the need for a breezy linen pant for the summertime.

Other Designs I Love

Check out the other designs that I love, that I am hoping to add to my wardrobe soon. The painter shirt in rust looks like a great shirt to throw on and go over anything. Also, I love the button up bow shirt in the sand color. It looks a lot like the vintage shirt I am wearing except without the collar. I would love to own the oli dress in olive green too. And the lu tank is perfect for summer and layering. I encourage you to check out all of her designs. I hope you find something that you have been wanting to add to your closet for a long time.
