Sonam believes in slow fashion

Mumbai: Actress Sonam Kapoor, known for her immaculate sense of style and sartorial choices, recently shared why she prefers slow fashion.

The Aisha actress said in a statement, “I make sure to wear and do things that have no negative impact on anyone. I strive to make responsible choices. I have always believed in slow fashion, buying classic, beautiful pieces, and reusing vintage clothes. I don’t support fast fashion, as it is wasteful and harmful to the environment. However, I understand its necessity for those who can’t afford luxury vintage fashion.”

She added, “I am a strong supporter of second-hand websites, despite them not being part of our culture. Indian culture embraces local tailors and artisans, which is a form of slow fashion not readily available in the West. We need a combination of both: making tailoring clothes accessible in the West and accepting the mentality of wearing someone else’s clothes.”

She said, “As actors, we have an impact, and people like to follow what we do. I hope people turn to vintage and adopt it as a lifestyle choice. It is imperative because our wasteful ways are hurting the environment and the planet.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam was recently seen in the film Blind.
