A new slow-fashion brand?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m not here to sell anything — just genuinely looking for advice and perspective from this community.

Context: My background is in finance and accounting, and today I work as a finance manager. I have no experience in fashion design or manufacturing but I truly enjoy clothes and style, and I’m willing to put in the work to learn.

Over the years, I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the greenwashing I see in fashion: - Brands charging premiums for synthetics. - Weekly drops claiming slow fashion values. - An overall lack of authenticity.

My French closet is mass-manufactured neutrals (and expensive), while my Indian closet is colorful, tailored, and relatively more affordable. That divide really made me think: why should I have two different identities in my wardrobe when I’m the same person?

That’s what sparked the idea for my brand: 1. Slow fashion values: timeless pieces made of 100% natural materials built to last. 2. Parisian style: feminine, elegant silhouettes that flatter, not trends. 3. Cultural bridge: celebrating Indian craftsmanship (fair wages, centuries-old techniques) reinterpreted for a modern, global audience.

But before I go further, I’d love to get input from people who already care deeply about sustainable fashion:

❓Would a brand like this resonate with you? ❓What would you want to see in it (or avoid)? ❓ Do you feel the market is already saturated, or is there room for a new approach?

Any honest feedback is super valuable — encouragement, critique, or even “this doesn’t excite me.” It’ll all help me shape this into something meaningful.

Thanks so much 🙏
