Alessandro Botta, Drago: Meta fabrics are the future of responsible fashion

Faux leather trousers, dark denim, striped shirt and polyester print oversized sweatshirt. Almost everyone has a similar set of clothes in their wardrobe that they periodically replace, pass down to a younger sibling, or simply wonder when to wear.

A team from BGNES and Cantarelli flew to Italy to rock the stands at the Milano Unica 2024 in search of answers about whether the personal fashion consultant will tackle the eternal question of "what to wear today", whether we are getting carried away with "fast fashion" and how the fashion business could be "ethical".

"We can make the best products if we use the best raw material”, Alessandro Botta, Marketing&Communication Manager at Drago, told BGNES. Drago has made a new collection from the so called meta fabrics, like meta silk and RWS Wool (Responsible Wool Standard).

"That’s the most important work of the group about the environment so that we can achieve ecosustainable products", Botta said. The company also uses other organic materials like etheric cotton and capoc for its fashion products. /BGNES
