As the realities of climate change become more and more real against a backdrop of current and future issues, including a summer of fires in the high Arctic and the Amazon, some fashion companies take their environmental impact very seriously.

Q+A Evlyne Oyedokun

"When I first saw Evlyne Oyedokun perform in Blackbird Hour at London’s Bush Theatre, I was electrified. The play - a haunting meditation on grief, identity, and healing - centered on the experience of a queer Black woman. But it was Evlyne’s performance that stayed with me long after I returned to Rome. Her truth, her vulnerability, her quiet strength. There was no separation between her and the role. She didn’t act. She let us in. Her performance stayed with me long after the lights were out and even back in Rome."
