EP06 The Global Threads of Fashion: Eurocentrism and Colonial Legacies

🎙️ Welcome back to Green Fashion Dialogues!

In this episode, we are delighted to host Alessandra Lopez y Royo, also known as Alex Bruni—academic, activist, and model—for a deep dive into a crucial topic: Eurocentrism and neo-colonialism in today’s fashion system.

Although it may seem like a topic rooted in geopolitics, its impact is felt in very tangible ways—shaping the development of small local brands, from Far East Asia to peripheral areas in Europe and beyond. These forces influence the creative growth of local designers and perpetuate the environmental, economic, and social consequences of globalized fashion production.

Join us as we explore:
🌍 How global standards imposed by major luxury and fast fashion brands affect smaller communities
🧵 The challenges and opportunities for local designers outside major fashion capitals
💡 The link between Eurocentrism, neo-colonialism, and sustainable development
