“The textile industry is the third most polluting sector in the world. Look how bad it is,” commented the model and actress. “I always say that fashion has to be circular. What no longer works for me will definitely work for someone else,” she added.
The first edition of the event took place in 2019, in person. This time, the purchases will be online, through the My Clo website (www.myclo.com.br).

Them on the red carpet: Its bazaar, in addition to helping entities, has a sustainable side. Talk a little bit about the need for people to reuse clothes and repeat them.
Carol Marra: I always say that fashion must be circular. What no longer works for me will definitely work for someone else. People are becoming aware that we can repeat clothes. It is not trivial, it is not trivial. If you paid dearly for that dress, if you like that dress, why not repeat it? You can repeat this outfit using another accessory, another belt, earring, third piece (vest, blazer), a shawl. You can repeat that dress “n” times. You don’t have this primer that you can’t repeat. We can and must repeat the clothes, yes. If we invested money in that dress, it’s because we liked it. If the clothes like our body, if the fabric is good, why should we discard it? We have to invest in good and few things, we don’t need a huge wardrobe.
They: Talk about bias in buying used clothes.
Carol Marra: The textile industry is the third most polluting sector in the world. Look how serious it is. The impact of this pollution is very large. It’s very much in thrift store fashion, to wear used clothes. Invest in good quality, timeless garments that you can wear for several seasons.

They: After the pandemic, do you think people were more susceptible to clothes laundering?
Carol Marra: I think, during the pandemic, people started to value home, mainly. We have rediscovered our home. Sure, the pandemic has a dark and painful side, with the loss of several loved ones, but there is a good side, that we hope people have this awareness, which is looking at others and feeling empathy and, coming back for our own. conversation, rediscovering the house, investing in pajamas, sweatshirt. I love being in my pajamas at home. And I also pulled it out from another look at your closet. In a very full closet, you don’t see what you have and end up not using it. That’s why we have to try to be minimalist. I can’t be a minimalist, but I’m making this effort, this daily exercise to be a minimalist. That’s why I’m doing the bazaar. I buy a lot, I earn a lot and I don’t have time to use it all. Why not share, divide, make this trend circulate? This is also the purpose of the bazaar. In the pandemic we started to tidy up the wardrobe, given how much we had and that all this was not necessary.
Them: What are the criteria for selecting pieces from the bazaar?
Carol Marra: In the bazaar there are my pieces and some items that I already had from My Clo. There is no donation in this special edition. I didn’t have time to go all this way, to get in touch with friends. Some parts are new, with tags, and some are not. There will be some minor flaws, but they are the minimum possible. Criteria are things that have my face. Some things I didn’t like very much or I bought them and they don’t have my face anymore. Each season we are in a style. In general, what is there that I like or like. There is a dress there that I love and it doesn’t fit me anymore. The zipper does not close, the pants do not fit. Let’s make this fashion circular. Many of the pieces I have used in the editorial office, in the soap opera, at events. Most of them are in the bazaar because I don’t need them anymore.
Them: What are the values ​​of the pieces?
Carol Marra: The values ​​will be on the website. There are designer bags from Chanel, which cost R $ 50,000 at the store, the original bag in perfect condition, we sell them for R $ 20,000. The value for money is interesting. Anything less than 50-60% off the store price, mostly new stuff.
