Pericles of Athens famously said “One person’s disengagement is untenable unless bolstered by someone else’s commitment.” We have to fight for together. By refusing to demand a solution, you are contributing to the problem. By refusing to fight for a solution, you are making others carry your part of the problem. 🖤 📸

Fashion and corporate sustainability. Article written by my sister Andrea Mejia Fajardo for DINERO!

El término desarrollo sostenible fue definido en 1987 por la Comisión Brundtland como el “desarrollo que encuentra las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la habilidad de futuras generaciones a satisfacer sus propias necesidades”.

Ethical luxury has social sustainability at its core. Our Mimi Coat is made with Faso Danfani, the famous handwoven cotton fabric from Burkina Faso, made by artisans in the CABES center in Ouagadougou. The last few months have had devastating impacts on the world as a whole, however, those most vulnerable have been affected the most. Now more than ever we must work together to help all actors in the value chain survive the economic and social shocks. 🤍

Change takes time and often times it comes with a heavy set of lessons along the way BUT the last few months have been a catalyst for many to reevaluate one’s needs and one’s consumerism. Even Anna Wintour said “This is an opportunity for all of us to look at our industry and look at our lives and to rethink our values and really think about the waste and the amount of consumption and access that we all, and I include myself, have all indulged in.” Where are you in this conversation?
