Secondhand revolution by creating the world's largest shared closet | Robin Balser | TEDxPadova

In a world where clothes have become a way of expressing status, creativity, personality and not only a way of covering ourselves, second-hand clothes can overcome firsthand fashion. Why? Because second-hand clothes are "special", they carry a history, and they are shared, allowing people to remix their styles and infuse freshness into their closets. In addition, second-hand clothes are sustainable because they decrease clothing production and reduce waste. In his fascinating talk, Robin Balser will present his innovative and disruptive idea about the evolution of the fashion industry: the world's most enormous shared closet. Robin è il fondatore di Vinokilo, un'impresa sociale che gestisce il più grande evento pop-up europeo per l'abbigliamento di seconda mano, diventato oggi un vero e proprio movimento a livello europeo. I vestiti vengono venduti agli eventi di Vinokilo per un prezzo al chilo. Da quando Vinokilo ha iniziato nel 2016, sono riusciti a dare nuova vita a oltre 200 tonnellate di vestiti. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
