Eva, founder of Ecoology
When did Ecoology start?
Ecoology was born to create fashion with beautiful stories behind. I was tired of consuming fast fashion without personality, wearing everybody the same clothes as uniforms, cheap clothes made from the suffer of others with bad quality. One day I said this has to stop and I need to do something with common sense.
How do you define Ecoology?
Comfty and atemporal woman clothes that respect the environment.
What is the philosophy of the brand?
Minimize the environment impact without giving up the design of the clothes and take care of persons that work in fashion industry.
What is the slow movement for Ecoology?
Slow movement is a way to live and see everything. Breathe and be quiet in every moment giving priority to the things well done and have the time to do them. Slowfashion is more or less the same...make your designs thinking in all the production line from the raw materials that after turn into a dress until the selling action. You have to measure the impact that making a dress cause, thinking in every hand that every part of the dress have passed. Also is very important recycle after use it or try to give the clothes a second chance or as times your creative mind can think.

What are the influences of the brand?

Celebrity crush?
I like a lot Livia Firth due to she has a lot of media power in the slow fashion industry and I believe we need people like her. Vivianne Westwood is one of my favorites and now she is making a good work in the green thinking. Lily Cole is also working to introduce the slow fashion movement and she wears her own clothing firm. All of them are my inspiration. t
Any celeb wearing Ecoology?
Elsa Pataki (international actress) bought part of the collection and was so funny making adjustments in the clothes for her, all the designs look so nice on Elsa. Almudena Fernández (spanish model) wore an spectacular dress 100% organic cotton that fits perfectly on her.
