Eco Fashion World

I had no idea that there was so much eco consciousness in Brazil. Every other week I meet people who are somehow living a green lifestyle. This makes me very happy. In fact I’m thrilled.

Just on Sunday I was at a friend’s place and met interior designer Luciana. I told her about my work and she almost jumped up: “I’ve read so much about that lately. Eco is becoming a mega trend here, in my field too. I now have a customer who wants eco furniture for his house. So I’m researching the possibilities of bamboo and other materials. I love to have this freedom as an entrepreneur and to choose my own materials! And eco is so cool!”

Tonight I was at a temple devoted to an Indian saint. We sang mantras for two hours and opened our senses with deep meditation. Which strangely made me hungry for curry afterwards. Three girls, all dressed in designer yoga outfits enjoyed the food with me and we started talking. Mahachandra told me about her business in organic cosmetics. She’s doing a specific course that makes her a specialist in natural ingredients for beauty care products: “I’ll go to the Amazon next month to do research because there are still so many secrets to unravel. We really have everything in this country to be a real eco innovator”. It’s quiet for a few seconds while we indulge in a delicious dessert. Then she glances at me with a conspiring smile: ‘Organic is orgasmic’.
