The commitment for a sustainable approach to fashion is starting to be more resonant. Indeed, an interactive exhibition has been presented in Milan, organized by Mani Tese ONG Onlus Association, in partnership with Ass. of labour policies, trade, fashion and design of the Municipality of Milan Cristina Tajani and financed by the Italian Agency of Development Cooperation. The goal of this initiative was to inform the public about the impact of the Fast Fashion system from soci

"Black Velvet Circus is mysterious, non-conformist and dares to find new paths…" In 2009, the Hamburg based designer Tanja Glissman founded Black Velvet Circus. As the name suggests, the online store and label has become mystic and electrifying, yet cool and casual – not at all far from what we might expect an off duty trapeze artist might wear on a spontaneous trip to the market. Through a love for vintage clothing and a clear affinity for denim, Tanja Glissman created a lab

Everyone will be talking about the sustainable fashion’s role at Davos. During the World Economic Forum the key leaders in fashion and associated industries joined forces at the second edition of CEO Agenda, hosted by Global Fashion Agenda, where presenting the eight sustainability priorities every fashion CEO needs to address in order to become more sustainable, the focus point on climate change. “The fashion industry is going through a transformation that poses many challen

Password: paradise. Each of us has a particular vision of it, for me it’s that place where you feel you could find peace, where you feel in a total communion with nature. This 2018 has been a year of big changes, not only because I got married (and talking about weddings, I invite you to go to page 38 to read our interview with a special couple, a Norwegian model and an American biologist, of their vision of paradise), but also because I made an important trip to Mexico betwe

Alexander Wang Collection 2, December 2 | As Alexander Wang just had their Collection 2 show in New York, we reflect on the powerful digital strategies of the American brand. The relatively young brand was quickly able to land a spot amongst New York’s most coveted brands and this had nothing to do with hazard. The brand decided to get off the fashion week schedule this year with a show in June called «Collection 1», so this show was actually their second one off-calendar. Wi

Conscious, eco, ethical, social. These keywords have become so widespread that both luxury and streetwear brands have begun to sources and manufacturing less harmful products, benefiting the environment, consumer and the worker. With climate change and global warming pending, ‘cool’ fashion takes on new meaning. If you are looking for a gift this winter, make sure you care about doing it consciously. With the United Nations’s International Panel on Climate Change warning that

Preview of the interview with the sustainable brand Rêve En Vert from the December issue The sustainable fashion movement has never been as active as in the last few years and increasingly more brands are being invented or re-invented with an eco-friendly imprint. But where is it actually possible to find and buy these brands? Cora Hilts and Natasha Tuckers asked themselves the same question when in 2013 they founded Rêve En Vert. Duped as the Net-A-Porter for sustainable fas

Password: Shine on. It is time for all of us to take our future in our hands, our life and find our way to be happier. Understand what those big or small changes are that could make you feel somehow realized. To get to know ourselves better and improve the quality of our time on this world. And if the opportunity to realize your dreams seems like utopia, then maybe you’re not doing the right dreams, or you have to change the main characters in the story. Marta Forgione Editor

Goodbye fast fashion. Hello sustainability! It seems like just yesterday everyone was rushing round to get the latest fast fashion purchases, now we are all about focusing on how what we wear is being made and how it is affecting the world we live in. Will this be the end of fast fashion with the roaring growth of sustainable brands? One of the reasons as to why sustainability isn’t as popular as it should be is simply because we don’t know how to shop it. We don’t know what

If we wanted to describe our society in just one word, fast would probably a good one. We are indeed used to be able to have everything now and to dispose of it as fast as we obtained it. We expect it to be that way, disregarding the consequences. Fashion is a prime example that shows how this velocity can become very toxic, both on the environment and under social and ethical aspects. One of these dissident voices is Catherine Kim and her brand Forsythia. Her mission is to m

In a year that has seen many big fashion brands embrace a more environmentalist and ethical style, with the use of synthetic furs instead of the real ones, here is a historical brand that makes itself talked about for a choice that is not entirely eco-sustainable. A few days ago, in fact, came out the news that stars one of the historic British brands, founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856, Burberry that has decided to burn its unsold items worth about £ 28m. This is certainly n
