"I don't think it's a moment not to take a stand ... I believe, as I think those of us who work at Condé Nast believe, that you have to stand up for what you believe in and you have to take a point of view"
– ANNA WINTOUR

"Just because it’s business, doesn’t mean you lose your values"
– CARA SMYTH

"Demand more from the brands you buy, and invest in clothes that you value and love because you will wear them again and again"
– DANA THOMAS

"Sustainability is not just a trend. Our products are all handmade and manufactured locally by experienced craftsmen using centuries-old traditional techniques"
– CHRISTINA MARTINI

"Who, then, is afraid of the future? The one who is afraid of change. And change is now imperative. Let’s change the way we consume, act and think. Let’s finally care for the environment and our planet. After all, this is our home."
– THALEIA KARAFYLLIDOU
