The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries on the planet. Can it be avoided? Is ‘slow fashion’ a solution? Is it possible to buy in a more sustainable way? The president of BASI Group, Nuria Basi, and the CMO of 11Onze, Gemma Vallet, discuss this in a new Territori 17 of La Xarxa.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the great lessons learned from the pandemic is that we can enjoy our shopping while remaining sustainable. But how to do it, in the case of fashion? \u201c<\/span>Buy wisely, with common sense and a lot of information<\/b>. The great advantage is that we consumers are the ones who choose what we want to buy,\u201d Basi says. She heads one of the largest fashion distributors on the Iberian peninsula, serving brands such as Armand Basi, Lacoste and Cole Haan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Functionality, quality, durability, necessity? There are several factors to take into account when choosing the clothes we wear. \u201cAs the British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood used to say, <\/span>buy what you like, wear it and make it last for a long time<\/b>,\u201d Basi sums up. The BASI Group CEO is a strong advocate of mending clothes and appreciates how past generations took care of their clothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We are mistaken if we think that buying new clothes is cheaper than mending them<\/b>. We buy it, wear it, get tired of it and throw it away or, at best, recycle it,\u201d she complains. According to Basi, we often have habits that don\u2019t help either: it may seem very practical, but in the long run it is not, such as leaving clothes in the washing machine and not hanging them out until you get home in the evening, or using cleaning products that are not of high quality and that spoil the fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
