This 22nd April, fashion takes the field with a series of eco-friendly initiatives.

Known to most as Earth Day, the World Earth Day in April is the event that mobilizes one billion people to spread awareness to protect the earth.
From <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/news/giornata-mondiale-della-terra-2021-cosa-e-storia-chi-l-ha-inventato" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Earth Day 2022,</a> the fashion world aren't be excluded either as it is considered one of the most polluting industries, which for several years has been trying to change direction and be more active towards environmental issues.
Earth Day 2022 is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness, launch drops of sustainable fashion collections and ethical-environmental projects.

Amber Valletta Karl Lagerfeld Capsule

Here are some of the new sustainable initiatives and collections created in honor of Earth Day 2022 :
Among the novelties there will be the launch of the second ecological capsule collection by Karl Lagerfeld created in collaboration with the model and activist <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/news/collezione-relaxwear-loro-piana-amber-valletta-vincent-van-duysen-foto-immagini-video-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amber Valletta</a> . The brand creates an ethical and committed collection that features a selection of pr&ecirc;t-&agrave;-porter garments and chic accessories made with environmentally friendly materials, sourced with minimal environmental and social impact.
These include organic cotton produced without the use of harmful chemicals, recycled fibers that promote circularity and an alternative to cactus-derived leather, created by Desserto&reg;. It is also good to remember that, in 2019, the brand had already joined the Fashion Pact whose initiative is to transform the fashion world according to three principles: biodiversity, protection of the oceans and climate.

In favor of Earth Day, Dior collaborates with the NGO Parley for the Oceans by launching the new men&#39;s beachwear capsule. The collection includes logoed sneakers, sandals, polo shirts, beach bags and parkas, embodying the Maison&#39;s desire to move towards a more innovative and sustainable future for fashion. &nbsp;

Giglio.com instead launches its first initiative on the occasion of Earth Day 2022, a sustainable project based on recovery and regeneration. More specifically, it is a <a href="https://www.giglio.com/risacca-x-giglio-com.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collaboration with Risacca</a>, a laboratory in southern Italy specialized in the reuse and recycling of fishing nets abandoned at sea. The platform thus promotes the Proudly re-made in Mediterraneo line, a collection of genderless eco-bags created thanks to the reuse of fishing nets.

Os&eacute;ree , swimwear brand, confirms its focus on sustainability with the SS 2022 collection, where it launches the &ldquo;Sustainable Eco&rdquo; swimwear line entirely produced with nylon regenerated from waste materials.
Already known for its attention to the environment in everyday life, Themoir&egrave; presents the new ARIA bag, inspired by bamboo reed forests and made of vegan and completely cruelty free material, with a bamboo fiber lining approved by FSC standards. (Forest Stewardship Council). The brand also collaborates with Tree Nation's Trees for Tribals India for the planting of new specimens of Bambusa vulgaris.

There are also brands that aim for a greener system trying to implement tree planting. For example GUESS , which with <a href="https://www.guess.eu/it-lu/landing-smartguess.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwu_mSBhAYEiwA5BBmf92FKCaAoH-4spSEQ8j-9ZBzjwHEW2ie4HEYfbFp6c1VY8r0I028rBoCL7AQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guess Eco</a> launches the global forest project Be (leaf) in Change , an initiative in collaboration with Treedom.
The brand, with a campaign aimed at both employees and customers, has committed to planting at least 5,000 trees. But this is not the only name involved in collaborating with Treedom, also Lampoo , the second-hand luxury e-commerce site, in view of the Earth Day 2022 tries to give its contribution by proposing a week dedicated to responsible shopping. All customers who place an order from the platform will in fact receive a tree as a gift from 18th to 24th April 2022. &nbsp;

For jewels, Pomellato is not missing, choosing Earth Day 2022 to promote the Responsible Gold program, once again underlining its commitment to reducing the environmental impact in the creation of each of its pieces.
This program eliminates the use of mercury or cyanide during mining to preserve nature and renovate mining sites. DoDo is also at the forefront of Earth Day 2022 , renewing its support for the French social enterprise Tenaka. After having contributed to the reconstruction of a large part of the coral reef, the jewelry brand chooses, once again, to plant 300 new coral species in the protected area.

Last but not least, Vilebrequin , a luxury swimwear brand, collaborates with The Woolmark Company for the SS 22 by launching its first merino wool costume giving a sartorial twist to the entire collection.
Wool is one of the most important ecological fibers, 100% natural, biodegradable, completely renewable and, contrary to what one might think, thanks to its flaky structure it forms a water-proof and quick-drying shell.
