Fashion unites to save Australia

Australia is unable to tackle the fires that have plagued the country since October on its own. The situation is becoming untenable. The smoke has reached Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. It is also expected to cross Brazil and if the smoke is not controlled it could go around the world. The balance of losses has already reached eight million hectares burned, more than twenty people have died, and more than a billion animals have not been able to survive.

The Australian hell is not a problem that we can escape from. The carbon dioxide emissions that have reached the atmosphere are already a global climate crisis. We need to raise awareness and take action. The fashion world has become financially involved in supporting local organisations that help firefighters, the population, reconstruction, reforestation and biodiversity.

The luxury company Kering has raised one million Australian dollars thanks to twelve of its major labels: Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, Dodo, Qeelin, Ulysse Nardin and Giard-Perregaux.

“In response to Australia’s wildfire crisis, the Kering family of brands is coming together to support Australians’ fire-fighting efforts“, reads the Instagram account.

Young entrepreneur Kylie Jenner has also contributed $1 million towards extinguishing the more than 200 fires that are raging in Australia.

Others like Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, Joaquin Phoenix, Pinl, Kylie Minogue, Elton John, Keith Urban or Nicole Kidman, among others, have donated the same amount as the youngest of the Kardashian clan.
