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".
Highlights
Entropy is a principle of physics that has the same status as the law of conservation of energy, known as the "first law" by Albert Einstein, and such a fundamental principle has widely influenced various fields of research in science today
Entropy is a quantity that indicates the degree of intrinsic disorder, and the entropy increase principle means that "the entropy of an isolated thermodynamic system does not decrease, but always increases or remains constant" [1]
The entropic increase in fashion today is more reflected in the damage to the natural environment, with data from the 2019 Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) claiming that the apparel and footwear industries together account for more than 8% of the global climate impact in terms of carbon emissions, with total greenhouse gas emissions associated with textile production equating to 1.2 billion tons per year, even The total greenhouse gas emissions associated with textile production are equivalent to 1.2 billion tons per year, more than even the combined total of all international airlines and ocean flights, and have a huge impact on global warming
Summary
Entropy is a principle of physics that has the same status as the law of conservation of energy, known as the "first law" by Albert Einstein, and such a fundamental principle has widely influenced various fields of research in science (including humanities) today. We will unconsciously associate this principle with the fate of human beings, and ask whether human beings will not be able to escape from the tragic fate that everything will eventually return to "thermal silence" (a state of perfectly uniform thermodynamic equilibrium) This approach to the end of the universe is only a hypothesis, which does not take into account gravitational effects and other factors. In his book "What is Life?", he first clarified the concept of negative entropy, saying that "to live is to fight against the law of entropy, and life feeds on negative entropy." [2] He understood life as a local reality that delays entropy and is able to reverse the process of entropy because of its ability to generate organization Lamarck takes this a step further by defining life as something organic or organized (organic) [3], Yizhou Zhang: Reflection on Contemporary Fashion Culture in the Perspective of Entropy. In the author's opinion, the results of their research have given life its greatest meaning, that is, to resist entropy, chaos, disorder, and the doomed death that never returns with the "arrow of time"
