One of the – few – positive sides of the period that sees us mostly within the walls of the house from March 2020, is the time to devote to a deeper reflection on our lifestyle, starting from what we buy: the pandemic it has further brought out the contradictions which, in a more or less direct way, have led to a situation of global crisis both at an economic and environmental level. In this context, the need to undertake more conscious choices in terms of shopping it has become even more urgent, both to get to grips with the portfolio with knowledge of the facts, and to impact the planet as little as possible.

However, to the race for virtual carts in the grip of fashion impulses while imagining a brighter future, it is perhaps better to put a series of thoughtful reflections on novelties that you want to introduce in your wardrobe: a real strategy to curb any “gut needs” that have nothing to do with our real needs, without excluding the arrival of new clothing items to invest in.

To have a mini guide for one online shopping in the name of awareness, we asked two fashion and sustainability experts for their best advice: Colleen Coughlin, former Victoria’s Secret fashion designer and founder of the zero waste agency The Full Edit, e Lauren Bravo, author of the book How To Break Up With Fast Fashion.
