Actor, producer and UN Environment’s Goodwill Ambassador for India, Dia Mirza has also previously worked with Sanctuary Asia and Wildlife Trust of India to highlight the global environmental crisis and push for a greener, cleaner Earth. Mirza believes that the key to making a big change is to implement small, simple changes in your everyday life by choosing sustainable alternatives—from what you eat to what you wear.
So, we asked Mirza to tell us a little bit about her favourite Indian sustainable fashion labels and their eco-conscious and ethically-made collections. Here’s what she said:
1. Anavila

Raw Mango is a brand rooted in Indian philosophy and tradition which gives freedom to imagine a new platform for both. The brand works towards revitalising entire communities of weavers and adapting traditional designs to create an aesthetic that is distinctly contemporary.
