Casa e Cose

I just read this 7 page long interview with Barney’s of NY Julie Gilhart. Its really worth it! Especially if you are in the fashion industry. Its inspiring, positive and also a bit understanding ( all the work the designers do that has nothing to do with creating…)

She is talking about the need of change – after all fashion is the mirror of the times we do live in. And times are changing.

The rules of what you buy now is different: as quote Seasons are now more defined for us as a chance to buy new things. It’s antiquated to say, “I’m going to buy my spring wardrobe, my fall wardrobe.” Now it’s, “I think I’m going to buy pieces that I can wear and need and can wear for as long as possible.”

And talking about the importance of a more responsable ecological fashion product and how hard it is to actually do that:

But I think it should become easier…If I’m going to work in fashion, I don’t want to be part of the things that are contributing to a worse environment. I want to be part of something that’s contributing to a better environment, and so whatever little we can do, I’m going to try to do that. So it means supporting people that you believe really want to try to do a better job in that way, and actually it goes back to some of the things that the customers really want. They want things that are made well, that are made in a conscious way, that have long-term values, that are beautiful. All of that is part of the story. It’s not just about eco and organic.
