But in terms of social responsibilities. "I like nice clothes like all women, because they make you feel attractive. This sector, however, beyond aesthetics has other values, should be seen protecting the eco system. Stella McCartney, fashion designer, familiar with the problem, helped me a lot in my project. "
What is this?
"I'm not perfect and I am no expert on the subject, but I try, in my small, to convey a message that will encourage people to reflect on environmental protection. And I do it through "Ever Manifesto", not a newspaper at a fixed date, but a free publication that in this first issue discusses the relationship between ecology and fashion, highlighting the abuse of the sector. Three thousand copies were distributed at strategic points. During the fashion shows in Paris and Corso Como in Milan and 10. But a few days will also be on line (

Who is funding the project?
"This time Loro Piana, then we'll see. Will be released in tandem with major events related to fashion, design and architecture. Depending on the subject matter, experts and journalists will write famous. The goal is to raise awareness even businesses. Many big brands have lost customers because exploiting minors. It was inevitable. Even the return 's image depends on the accuracy with which you work. "
She has a degree in philosophy, but is interested in the world of print. Choice upstream. How was this passion?
"I do not want to become a journalist, but I love publishing. I did a stage in Paris by Pierre Laffont, then to London in the drafting of the Independent newspaper. I like reading and I like to organize a newspaper. But I have not clear ideas about the profession that I will. "
She wrote on "Ever Manifesto"?
"Yes, I interviewed Franca Sozzani on how fashion should reorganize the production cycle in an ecological. But I've also written for other magazines in England. In one of my recent articles explained why the complaint-jeans are the garment more pollution there is. "

"I've always lived in the countryside, between the green and the animals, go horseback riding from childhood. I follow with interest the foundation of my uncle but for now I do not participate in the initiatives. There were many facts current events that struck me convincing myself to take care of ecology. One of these is the pollution of the Mediterranean, ruined by overfishing and the invasion of jellyfish. "
She lives between Paris and London, but also attended Milan, how does these three cities?
"Paris seems to be a clean city. England in general is more sensitive to ecological issues. There are many organic shops, people live with more awareness on the subject. Milan is in order. Italy, after the scandal of waste in Naples, a problem that I have followed with particular attention to the newspapers, is showing a greater involvement on environmental issues. "
Resulting in daily life as his respect for ecology?
"I walk a lot, I take the train than by plane. I like eating and cooking, but opto seasonal and local food. I'm not vegetarian, but I try to eat little meat. In short, I strive with common sense to limit the damage caused in recent years by wasteful villains, from a lifestyle that is destructive to ourselves and the world in which we live. "
