Film synopsis: Alex James, Blur-bassist turned cheesemaker, presents this critical look at the fashion industry and its enormous human and environmental costs. Far from predicting the apocalypse, Slowing Down Fast Fashion seeks to provide solutions. By talking to designers, activists and high-street brands, the film shows a wide-ranging and ever-growing thirst for change as consumers start to look at clothes the way they look at food.
