Abstract:
Abel Hernández’s Master’s thesis research investigates the subconscious and deeper understanding behind the decision making process millennials go through when purchasing, using, caring, and discarding their clothing products. He is particularly interested in “Slow Fashion”, a term that counters the growing trend of the “Fast Fashion” industry that has spurred overconsumption, which has created a throwaway mentality. The aim of his research is to develop a critical-creative thinking framework based on the understandings and insights of how Millennials view apparel consumption.
