Schools have been among the first institutions to adapt to the new measures of quarantine. What are the pros and cons of online classes?
Surely it wasn't easy to face this new modality of studying, but fortunately it was well structured and we didn't loose any class. In my opinion, the pro of this new "smart" studying is that you can go to class without struggling with the frenzy of the big city we live in. On the contrary, the con is that we don't get to know each other, we don't get any confrontation, any physical contact between us. In a few words: we can't live a normal student's routine.
The Fashion and Design Industries have been aggressively afflicted by the COVID-19 emergency. As a consumer, but also as a future insider of those systems, what will be the worst consequences of this crisis?
It will be hard to come back to normality, to start again. We will see a progressive drop in sales, considering that the biggest part of the population lost their job or is living a temporary layoff. Another dramatic consequence will be the cuts that fashion and design industries will have to do to start again and come back to their normal production. We will also change our style: it will necessarily become more simple and less lavish.
Your work is built on creativity. Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?
If I should find a solution, I would say that it lays in the word “escapism”: you can find your inspiration through virtual trips on YouTube. Or you can also look the landscape from your balcony and admire what nature is offering you. Nature is always a good start when you're looking for new hints.
