Solely glamourizing the industry contributes to neglecting the environmental and labor costs of fashion and fashion shows. People gather from around the globe to analyze new fashion trends and styles, but less attention is paid to the challenges that the industry is facing.

The fashion industry as a whole is ever-changing, so attempting to pin down one evergreen definition for categories like sustainable and ethical fashion is futile. For example, you may prioritize living wages and safe working conditions. But there is so much more that can be classified as "ethical." Others may value second-hand clothing more than ethically made garments. Perhaps vegan clothing is your top priority. It's difficult to define when not everyone has the same values. Because the movement is still learning and growing.

Wherever you are, through every breath you take, every water drop you drink, your existence depends on the ocean, but the future of the ocean depends on you.

I believe that photography can generate empathy, emotion and interest in other people's stories and I think that this is important and of great value, since with the possibilities that exist today it is an art that can travel and be easily transported from one place to another and go far.

Black Friday is more than just an environmental concern. It encourages people to spend money they don't have on things they don't need, and it fuels mindless consumerism.

I project and install nests and shelters for animals who live in the city, especially birds, Chiroptera and insects, to return to them a little bit of the space that the human being has reclaimed as their own. I’m fostering the growth of climbing plants on walls of the city, or I suggest planting endemic trees that can create food for the urban fauna.

The same things that are harmful to the environment are also bad for women. Ecofeminist concerns cannot be separated from these contexts, which means that constructing any ideology must prioritise avoiding ecological disaster and dismantling male violence against women and nature.

Fashion internationalism must now look beyond an Eurocentric perspective and draw from a broader source of creativity with respect. The present exhibition is an occasion to challenge stereotypes, educate and inspire the onlookers to African fashion in its original integrity.

By rediscovering the most natural side of fashion we can make the positive energy of Nature pass through us.

My father named me River. I think my name has brought me closer to water. When my name is used, it feels as if its not just inside me, but around me, bringing me closer to the element. Like a fish surfacing, the glimpse of the name orally draws me closer to depth.
