Abstract

The entropy increase principle points out that the entropy of an isolated thermodynamic system does not decrease, and in order to resist the fate of the end of everything brought by entropy increase, Schrödinger proposed the classic assertion that life feeds on negative entropy. Fashion is a concentrated manifestation of human culture, yet current fashion has a strong entropic influence on human beings and the natural environment. Slow fashion was born to criticize current fashion, but it is still limited to the framework of current fashion, this paper tries to reflect on the essence of current fashion from the perspective of entropy increase principle, and tries to provide a new framework for thinking about slow fashion. This article mainly adopts interdisciplinary text research and case empirical methods, starting from the study of the entropy status of the two main protagonists in contemporary fashion, humans and the environment，triggering reflections, and eliciting reflections on the nature of slow fashion negative entropy and possible Future Directions of Slow Fashion in the Light of Negative Entropy. In the end, it is concluded that The negative entropy of life is not a linear one-off work, but a kind of gradual change，slow fashion is not a utopian ideal country, but a constantly progressing fashion "protopia".
