JORDYN LEAH SWIM Supports Slow Fashion As the fashion industry grew (and grew, and grew, and grew), it began to develop an appetite for exploitation and destruction. Eventually, a counter-movement was born, which is now growing from the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. But first, we need to back up a bit and talk about McDonald’s in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986. When in Rome On March 20,1986, McDonald’s opened its first establishment in Piazza di Spagna, a mere block from the Spanish Steps. This sparked a divided response from citizens and business owners of the community, including the star designer, Valentino. Here is an excerpt from a New York Times article written on the matter: “According to Valentino, who this week began legal action aimed at closing the restaurant, which backs on to his Rome headquarters, the McDonald's created a ''significant and constant noise and an unbearable smell of fried food fouling the air.'' He has asked Italian magistrates to order it closed immediately on the ground that it is a nuisance.” Valentino was only one of many who was vocal in his staunch opposition to what was disparagingly labeled the ''degradation of Rome'' and the ''Americanization'' of Italian culture. Thousands of people rallied in protest against the encroachment of cheap, fast, standardized, Americanized industrialization. Among them was Carlo Petrini, an Italian journalist. “I was alarmed by the culturally homogenizing nature of fast food,” Petrini told TIME years later. McDonald’s remained, despite the ongoing controversy and derision from many in the community. But from that was born the “slow food” movement, and eventually, the “slow movement” as a subculture faction seeking to remedy the host of ills the breakneck speed of modern life exacts upon earth and its inhabitants. McDonald’s setting up shop down the street from the Spanish Steps spawned the birth of Slow Food association, created by that same Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, where the aim was a dedicated to the protection of traditional foods and the advocacy for agricultural biodiversity. This beginning has since grown into a global Slow Food movement and, furthermore, inspired the application of its inherent ethos into disparate other industries and sectors - chief among which was, and is, the fast fashion industry. The Slow Movement In 2004, the book In Praise of Slow by Carl Honoré was released, exploring how the philosophy of Slow could be applied to the whole of human endeavours and the term “slow movement” came to be a widely recognized encapsulation of the inherent principles.
