So, with this dress, I’ve intended to change people’s minds because I know that afterward, it will provoke debate.

Eco-responsible fashion has become the new strategy for the world to combat pollution after oil spillage from the oil industry. The promoter of FIMO, Jacques Logoh, adopted eco-responsible fashion as the theme for the year to promote more ethical fashion. “Today, many designers have entered into recycling. We see pollution everywhere, so we want to raise people’s awareness. Today, fashion designers produce a lot of waste when they make their creations, so now they have understood that they must really protect the environment”, he said.
