New Delhi:
Cannes Film Festival, which, over the course of years, has turned synonymous to vogue, noticed one large second and a strong one at that. Grammy Award profitable composer Ricky Kej, who was one of many attendees on the seventy fifth version of the movie pageant, wore the identical outfit that he wore to the Grammys earlier this 12 months. Why, you ask? Well, the composer’s sartorial motto was loud and clear: “Fashion Can Be Trendy Twice.” Sharing an image collage of himself from the Grammys and the Cannes Film Festival, Ricky Kej wrote: “#ReWear4Earth. ReWear your outfits for different occasions and do your part in reducing damage dealt to the Earth. This year, I was on 2 of the biggest stages in the world – the Grammy Awards and Cannes Film Festival and chose to wear the same outfit.”
Emphasizing on want for sustainability, the Grammy profitable composer wrote in his publish: “Fast fashion isn’t always fashionable. Especially when we consider it’s impact on our planet (The fashion industry is one of the most polluting on the planet) The use of toxic textile dyes, cheap materials and massive use of water and translates to environmental pollution. For decades, repeating an outfit for galas and events would be considered a fashion blunder – encouraging people to switch up outfits for every event, making clothes ‘Single Use’. Its time to change that narrative. Its time we consider our planet in this equation. Fashion Can Be Trendy Twice.”
He signed off the publish with these phrases: “#ReWear4Earth your outfits, take a picture and use the hashtag.. and do your part for the planet. The Earth wouldn’t remember what you wore. It will remember how you treat it.”
