Rocio is devoted to an ethical, eco-friendly approach to fabrics, cutting only when necessary, avoiding the creation of waste, prioritizing natural fibers and dyes that are good for the environment as well as for the skin.
“I could not wear a piece of clothing made in a far away country knowing the line of abuse from the moment that garment was conceived until it reached me. Manufactured clothes, even independent designer clothes, made for standardized sizes give me the chills. So many clothes are produced, bought and discarded these days. As more people buy fashion on a more regular basis, clothes seem to be less and less important. Are we less and less important?”
