Miss Universe is the most important beauty pageant in the world, this time we saw more than 84 participants and sustainability was not left out of the big stage.
\nFrom Thailand to the United States, a tour of sustainable options and their respective stories that seek to raise awareness through unique designs, while reflecting a part of the experiences of the participants.
\nwhile reflecting a part of the lives of those who wear them.<\/p>\n
Anna Suengam-iam (better known as Miss Thailand) surprised everyone in the preliminary round of Miss Universe 2022 wearing a dress made from recycled cans and Swarovski diamonds, the dress is inspired by her own story.<\/p>\n[\/fusion_text][fusion_imageframe image_id=\u00bb15097|full\u00bb max_width=\u00bb\u00bb sticky_max_width=\u00bb\u00bb style_type=\u00bb\u00bb blur=\u00bb\u00bb stylecolor=\u00bb\u00bb hover_type=\u00bbnone\u00bb bordersize=\u00bb\u00bb bordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb borderradius=\u00bb\u00bb align_medium=\u00bbnone\u00bb align_small=\u00bbcenter\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb margin_top=\u00bb30px\u00bb margin_right=\u00bb\u00bb margin_bottom=\u00bb40px\u00bb margin_left=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox=\u00bbno\u00bb gallery_id=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox_image=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox_image_id=\u00bb\u00bb alt=\u00bb\u00bb link=\u00bb\u00bb linktarget=\u00bb_self\u00bb hide_on_mobile=\u00bbsmall-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\u00bb sticky_display=\u00bbnormal,sticky\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.3″ animation_offset=\u00bb\u00bb filter_hue=\u00bb0″ filter_saturation=\u00bb100″ filter_brightness=\u00bb100″ filter_contrast=\u00bb100″ filter_invert=\u00bb0″ filter_sepia=\u00bb0″ filter_opacity=\u00bb100″ filter_blur=\u00bb0″ filter_hue_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_saturation_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_brightness_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_contrast_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_invert_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_sepia_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_opacity_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_blur_hover=\u00bb0″]https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Miss-tailandia-imag-1.jpg[\/fusion_imageframe][fusion_text columns=\u00bb1″ column_min_width=\u00bb\u00bb column_spacing=\u00bb\u00bb rule_style=\u00bbdefault\u00bb rule_size=\u00bb\u00bb rule_color=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment_medium=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment_small=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment=\u00bb\u00bb hide_on_mobile=\u00bbsmall-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\u00bb sticky_display=\u00bbnormal,sticky\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb font_size=\u00bb\u00bb fusion_font_family_text_font=\u00bb\u00bb fusion_font_variant_text_font=\u00bb\u00bb line_height=\u00bb\u00bb letter_spacing=\u00bb\u00bb text_color=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.3″ animation_offset=\u00bb\u00bb]\n
Anna was born in Thailand to a working class family, as a child her parents were waste collectors so many of her toys growing up were found in the trash, which led to her schoolmates and friends giving her nicknames like \u00abMiss Trash\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Anna far from feeling ashamed of her history took this opportunity to dazzle by wearing an elegant, sustainable piece with a wonderful story behind it.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, R’Bonney Nola (Miss USA) who was the winner of this edition of Miss Universe also contributed her grain of sand to sustainability wearing incredible pieces that besides being made from recycled elements were made by herself.<\/p>\n
Born in texas, R’Bonney has a degree in fashion and apparel design and since 2019 has her own brand that offers garments made from a sustainable perspective, the miss universe winner commented to the jury:<\/p>\n
\u00abI recycle pieces and I recycle different clothes to be more sustainable in my industry because I feel like it’s my duty. So I think that’s something we can all strive for in our industries and in our homes: to be more sustainable.\u00bb<\/p>\n[\/fusion_text][fusion_imageframe image_id=\u00bb15098|full\u00bb max_width=\u00bb\u00bb sticky_max_width=\u00bb\u00bb style_type=\u00bb\u00bb blur=\u00bb\u00bb stylecolor=\u00bb\u00bb hover_type=\u00bbnone\u00bb bordersize=\u00bb\u00bb bordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb borderradius=\u00bb\u00bb align_medium=\u00bbnone\u00bb align_small=\u00bbnone\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb margin_top=\u00bb30px\u00bb margin_right=\u00bb\u00bb margin_bottom=\u00bb40px\u00bb margin_left=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox=\u00bbno\u00bb gallery_id=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox_image=\u00bb\u00bb lightbox_image_id=\u00bb\u00bb alt=\u00bb\u00bb link=\u00bb\u00bb linktarget=\u00bb_self\u00bb hide_on_mobile=\u00bbsmall-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\u00bb sticky_display=\u00bbnormal,sticky\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.3″ animation_offset=\u00bb\u00bb filter_hue=\u00bb0″ filter_saturation=\u00bb100″ filter_brightness=\u00bb100″ filter_contrast=\u00bb100″ filter_invert=\u00bb0″ filter_sepia=\u00bb0″ filter_opacity=\u00bb100″ filter_blur=\u00bb0″ filter_hue_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_saturation_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_brightness_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_contrast_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_invert_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_sepia_hover=\u00bb0″ filter_opacity_hover=\u00bb100″ filter_blur_hover=\u00bb0″]https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Miss-USA-2.jpeg[\/fusion_imageframe][fusion_text columns=\u00bb1″ column_min_width=\u00bb\u00bb column_spacing=\u00bb\u00bb rule_style=\u00bbdefault\u00bb rule_size=\u00bb\u00bb rule_color=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment_medium=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment_small=\u00bb\u00bb content_alignment=\u00bb\u00bb hide_on_mobile=\u00bbsmall-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\u00bb sticky_display=\u00bbnormal,sticky\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb font_size=\u00bb\u00bb fusion_font_family_text_font=\u00bb\u00bb fusion_font_variant_text_font=\u00bb\u00bb line_height=\u00bb\u00bb letter_spacing=\u00bb\u00bb text_color=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.3″ animation_offset=\u00bb\u00bb]\n
One of the looks she wore on the mythical Miss Universe stage was a cape for her swimsuit parade, which was made from recycled materials such as plastic bottles and was also hand-dyed with environmentally friendly techniques embodying the message \u00abIf Not Now, Then When?\u00bb which the artist says is her life mantra. The model commented on her instagram that her intention with this piece was to show that we can also build art from what some perceive as \u00abtrash\u00bb.<\/p>\n[\/fusion_text][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
