18 years in fashion business, 8 years with my fashion brand.
What does “sustainable fashion” mean to you?
We understand sustainable fashion as a whole, a way of working that involves people and the environment, it does not focus only on the tissue, but also in the whole process.
Our company have a sustainable development, we do all the production process in our internal atelier, design, creation, experimentation, pattern-design, preparation, production process, photography, post-production edit, … all.
We respect people, we create decent and fair jobs.
We buy all our materials from local manufacturers and suppliers,
We reuse our materials to give them a second life, like for example as our paper pattern design, which is reused for our garment packaging shipping, and in the previous winter collection too for our garment labels, made by hand by us, like every season.
We recycle our waste, in short, we do everything possible to support sustainable development, because every action we made, however small, is a step closer to a way of understanding life, a more sustainable life.
What inspired you to start a sustainable fashion line?
