Eloisa’s article delves into the concept of a socially just transition towards circularity in the fashion industry. She emphasised that this transformation wasn’t just about technical solutions; it was a call to reimagine our relationship with nature and each other. It challenges us to redefine our roles, not just as consumers but as active participants in the quest for a better and more sustainable world. She highlighted that cultures shape systems, and systems, in turn, shape cultures. 

Key takeaways from the discussion encompassed the necessity for tailor-made solutions within the circular economy, the importance of shifting from consumer to citizen perspectives, the consideration of social implications, and a compelling call to action.
