After the alarming United Nations report on the urgency of taking measures against climate change, now more than ever many are looking for alternatives to the model of consuming clothes that is known as fast fashion and that consists of the production of tons and tons of clothes that are designed to last a short time and be quickly replaced by another more fashionable of the moment.
And what is the opposite of fast fashion? Slow fashion and precisely that is what the sustainable lifestyle blogger Valeria Hinojosa came to tell us about, sharing with us some of her favorite tricks and brands to have a wardrobe with an “eco” conscience.
One of its trusted brands is Vegan Resort Wear, an American firm whose clothing is made from natural fibers like flax and organic bamboo.
"You have to find the balance between buying and recreating the old and making it new, something personal and beautiful," he explains as he teaches us a way to fall in love with an old garment. Paint it yourself! The influencer recommends non-toxic paints that you can easily find in online stores.
But not everything is alternative brands, fortunately more and more multinational companies are joining the trend, Rebook or Levi's are some of those who are taking steps in that direction. As a sample, Valeria showed us some of her favorite sneakers, some Rebook sneakers, but these are made of corn and organic cotton so they are biodegradable and once the strips nature can take care of the rest.
Continuing with the footwear, the blogger surprised us with some ideal ankle boots that are handmade in Tuscany from fishing nets rescued from the ocean. The brand that makes them is called Verdura and you can get them on their website, at the Lee and Lee store in San Antonio, Texas, or The Piece Collective, in Los Angeles.
