Slovene textile factories

The series of textile factories in Slovenia is part of a larger project in which I dealt with issues of ethics, sustainability and ecology in the field of clothing in the Slovenian space. I spoke with designers of clothing and fashion accessories who strive for these virtues and their spread, I researched what happened to the Slovenian textile industry, which for many has already failed, from which materials we can make textiles, and tried to find out the general opinion about fast cheap fashion industry and about it opposite sustainable quality clothes made in Slovenia.

The topic is very broad and it is impossible to isolate it from other aspects of life and other industries that we consciously or unconsciously support with our lifestyle and daily decisions, so with every answer new questions arise.
