Contributor Chelsea Bryar from edition one.
We are interested in a range of content for The Slow Approach that is inline with our ongoing theme and the embodiment of what the magazine is about:
“An ode to the environment and to those who innovatively protect it. ”
The topics we are looking to include are not limited to sustainable fashion, but open to a range including the likes of low waste living, wildlife conservation, music and sustainability and so on.
We do favour topics that may provide insight on the intersections of sustainability, personal and unique experiences and showcasing under-represented talent.
Think outside of the box!
