Nikki shared her thoughts on Instagram:
“Honored to be included in this year’s @ecoage #GCFAltalia 2020 with @cameramoda . This year’s Green Carpet looks a little different – clearly shoes are optional – but #sustainablestyle is a must.
Thank you for asking me to speak on the importance of regenerative fashion and reusing what we already own. Rewearing fashion to award shows is a delicate and often taboo topic in the fashion industry that inevitably ends up trickling down into society’s addiction to fashion, but we are here to change the stigma and showcase the versatility one piece can have for a lifetime.
I first wore this Etro dress in 2016 at the cannes film festival, and have cherished it ever since. It is my only piece from Etro, and I treasure it. I have taken care of the delicate threads, and worn it again and again throughout the years. Fashion cannot be disposable, bottom line.
We must buy less but buy better, whatever that means to you personally. Fast fashion and seasonal trends will soon be a thing of the past as we work hard to make rewearing garments the new hot trend. Watch the Green Carpet Awards with me today on YouTube’s fashion channel at 2 PM PT.?
The Green Carpet Challenge (GCC) was born in January 2010, when Livia Firth stepped onto the Golden Globes red carpet wearing a repurposed wedding gown. Since then, designers and celebrities worldwide have brought the best of sustainable style into the spotlight, changing the conversation around the fashion industry forever.
Over the last decade, the GCC has seen some of the biggest names all over the world showcasing sustainable looks – including Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, Emma Watson, Thandie Newton, Olivia Coleman and many more.
