As fashion designers seek to create a sustainable future through slow fashion philosophies, including product longevity and the circular economy, the retail store has an important role to play in the education of consumers through the services offered and communication of these principles. In this video, join Rebekah Matheny, Associate Professor of Interior Design at The Ohio State University, to learn about an approach for translating slow fashion’s methodology into a slow retail design process.
