In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, ethical choices and a cruelty-free lifestyle, the intersection of fashion and food is a fascinating place. In the heart of Milan, famous for its iconic fashion and gastronomy, we discovered a perfect fusion of these two worlds. In collaboration with vegan restaurant La Colubrina, we explored the importance of adopting a plant-based diet and its role in building a more sustainable future.
Our journey began with our brand, which proudly earned its recognition as a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) certified brand, a tangible sign of our unwavering commitment to cruelty-free and environmentally conscious fashion. OWN is committed to promoting a holistic approach to sustainability, not only in the world of fashion, but also in the transition to a more conscious, ethical and sustainable lifestyle.
Sustainable Fashion Meets Sustainable Cuisine
“ La Coloubrina ”, a refined vegan restaurant nestled in the heart of Milan, was the chosen setting for a photoshoot dedicated to sustainable living. The choice was natural given the restaurant’s delicious culinary offerings focused on plants and healthy ingredients and the atmosphere proposed that harmoniously blends minimalist aesthetics with a philosophy based on sustainability, in perfect harmony with the values of our brand.
Fashion and food share a profound connection: the decisions we make in both industries have a profound impact on the environment and the well-being of all living creatures. We sought to capture the essence of this harmonious connection, with PETA-certified clothing and plant-based dishes.
The Importance of a Plant-Based Diet
The importance of adopting a plant-based diet cannot be overemphasized. With the fashion industry moving towards sustainability, it is crucial to remember that making ethical and sustainable choices extends not only to our wardrobes, but also to our dinner tables.
OFF WITH NATURE has always supported a more responsible and compassionate world. The PETA certification testifies to our firm commitment to cruelty-free and environmentally friendly fashion. Likewise, La Colubrina emphasizes the importance of choosing food that is not only delicious, but also respectful of the planet and all its creatures.
Plant-based eating, also known as veganism, is a powerful way to reduce our ecological footprint, limit animal distress, and promote a more ethical and sustainable lifestyle. It significantly reduces the environmental impact of animal agriculture by conserving water resources and preventing deforestation.
The Future is Vegan
Collaborating with “La Coloubrina”, has shown that the future of fashion and restaurants is increasingly vegan. It is about making conscious choices in harmony with our values and concern for the planet. In both the world of fashion and cuisine, every small step towards a vegan and plant-based lifestyle is a big step towards a sustainable future. As we enter a new era of sustainable living, remember that your choices can have a profound impact. Supporting PETA-certified fashion brands and enjoying vegan dishes at restaurants like “La Coloubrina” are steps towards creating a world where ethics and aesthetics coexist in perfect harmony.
Let's embrace a kinder, more sustainable future, one delicious vegan dish at a time. Also, remember that November has been declared Vegan Food Month, a motivation for us OWN Team, and for our Community and all the people who believe in these values to experiment with the vegan alternatives available in the city where you live.
