Contemporary global scenarios, including pandemics that have not yet been eradicated, war conflicts, recession risks and the return of inflation, impose a complete redefinition of the competitive perimeter of Fashion where the ethical theme finally finds a place that is central and not merely a façade. The new digital native generations, above all the Z although one must already look to the Alpha, are not willing to accept “historical compromises.” As the leading contemporary Italian philosopher Luciano Floridi reminds us, Green and Blue will save the world: blue-digital, put at the service of green-environment, are the basis of a new human project for the 21st century. Fashion, as an integral part of the textile industry (the world's 2nd largest polluter), cannot ignore this categorical imperative that binds its path of development.
