Découvrez RÉUNI, mon nouveau projetSuivez les aventures de RÉUNI sur Instagram I Twitter I Linkedin I Facebook On the occasion of the launch of the "Changeons de Mode" event, initiated by Galeries Lafayette and their responsible movement "Go for Good", activist and writer Kimberly Drew was given the role a of journalist by talking to the guest of honour, British designer Vivienne Westwood. KEY LEARNINGS« We don’t have a future if we don’t do something this year, and if we don’t do it this year, we have to do it next year because it will be too late the year after, that’s it! » «I want to talk about Greta Thunberg, she is wonderful! In my whole life I have never met anybody who has served the cause of democracy as this little girl has done.. Because what she has done is so indredible, she is giving people a focus.»“There’s a march in England, a big demonstration planned […] and that march would have happened because of the mess we’re in but maybe it wouldn’t have had so many people, maybe Galeries Lafayette wouldn’t have had this event, this year, they might have had it next year instead: it is given people a focus, because people are starting to feel responsible that they have to do something”.« REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE - SAVE THE WORLD!  Right Now [at Vivienne Westwood Company, NDLR], I am working on the reduce part. To give an exemple, juste to make a jean, the cost of that is 13 years of drinking water for 1 person. I am not gonna make any jeans anymore, I tell my clients to go to the second hand shop to buy jeans. I am going to reduce my collection by half, it means less travel and less travel of my team to Italy. » «  What the designer want is to make beautiful cloth at the right price! » «  One reason why I continue in fashion is because I want a model company for the future. Because I also think that we have a future. I want a model company for the future. » «  Coton costs another 2 planet! » «  I think that the journey through life is to be able to exploit your own potential, you get out what you put in, follow you deep interest, and in the end, I believe in something call « ch'i » which is your best self, your highest authority, if you follow your best interest, and if you do that, by the end of your life you will become your best self, you will become who you really are. »
