Among her investigative reports there’s also the topic of sustainability, which became a central topic not only during the Milan fashion week but also in New York, Paris and London. Can fashion really be favourable to safeguarding the ecosystem? According to the journalist, fast fashion causes damage to nature. However the new generations of designers are paying attention to the environmental issue.

The throwaway culture can be changed by raising awareness of purchasing. However it was the Covid-19 pandemic that made a decisive change in conscious purchasing.
