Raincoat, 2010

It has been raining lightly. Was working on this when the sky turned moss green then black as a tornado touched down in Brooklyn last week. It was eerie (the night-dark sky, trees careening in gales of wind and almost militant rain).

Slow Style

Slow Style is an ongoing project by Sarah Kate Beaumont who since 2008 has designed and crafted every piece of her wardrobe. She has not purchased clothing since the project began.

Combining art and craftsmanship Beaumont’s project embraces individual style and sustainability. It seeks to empower others to question assumptions of consumerism with its inherent cycle of acquisition and disposal, and as an alternative, to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Slow Style

Verysweetlife seeks to empower her audience to embrace authentic, individual style free from fast-fashion and consumerism, and to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.

Since 2008 the artist Sarah Kate Beaumont has made what she wears, designing and assembling each piece. These are slow clothes, combining craftsmanship and art.
