We mainly refer to fashion, although this concept applies to any activity that involves design: technology, furniture, lighting, pottery, architecture, art and all layers of our lifestyle.
You may have seen that sustainable brands are now blooming everywhere, so much that you have the impression of living in a wonderful world. The attention to this topic is so huge. The sense of caring stands out. But let’s dig deeper into what happens for real.
There’s no regulation on this matter. And even if some certificates provided by the suppliers may exist, it’s easy to imagine what would happen.
Let’s be clear, the best way of being sustainable for a brand that shows a poor design, and doesn’t communicate any concept or any added value, is not doing it. That’s it.
Please, don’t do it. We don’t need more brands. We need better brands.
