On October 22, 2025, Maria Silvia Pazzi, founder and CEO of Regenesi, took the stage at the 4th World Conference on Climate Change & Sustainability 2025 to bring a different voice to the global debate — not one of alarmism or abstract declarations, but that of someone who, for years, has been building concrete alternatives to the extractive, linear model of fashion (produce, consume, discard).
Her presentation — “Evolving Fashion & Textile Environmental Impact: The Beauty Will Save the World” — represented a synthesis of aesthetic vision and industrial pragmatism, combining research, innovation, and practical application. It is precisely at this intersection that Regenesi has built its identity: a pioneering brand in circular fashion, recognized internationally not only for its products but also for its visionary and practical contribution to transforming the industry.
From Global to Local: The value of Concrete Action
Climate Change & Sustainability 2025 brought together stakeholders from around the world in Milan with a clear mandate: move beyond discussion to implementation. From reducing methane emissions to sustainable agriculture, from transport to construction, the urgency is the same — act now.
In this context, fashion and textiles are among the most critical sectors. Responsible for 10% of global CO₂ emissions, water pollution from dyes and chemical treatments, and over 92 million tons of waste per year, the industry is both a problem and a potential solution — but only if rhetoric gives way to practical action.
This is where Regenesi contributes distinctively: a hands-on perspective, built from years of material experimentation, technological development, and collaboration with industrial and creative partners. Not principles, but verifiable, scalable, and replicable processes.
Beauty as a Driver of Change
The title of Maria Silvia Pazzi’s talk — “The Beauty Will Save the World” — reflects one of Regenesi’s core beliefs: systemic change cannot ignore aesthetic inspiration. People will never choose sustainable products if they are only about sacrifice. Sustainability must be desirable, emotive, and embody a new kind of beauty — one born from responsibility.
This vision weaves together three inseparable dimensions:
-
Aesthetic Research: Beauty is not superficial decoration but a language that inspires new imaginaries. Every Regenesi collection is a visual manifesto demonstrating how regenerated materials can compete with — and surpass — virgin materials in quality and appeal.
-
Enabling Technology: Beauty alone is not enough. Technical innovation is required to make transformation possible. Proprietary technologies, such as Respetto, which regenerates textile waste into new raw material, are the driving force of this process. Without technology, circularity remains niche; with technology, it becomes an industrial reality.
-
Ecodesign: Designing with the entire product lifecycle in mind — from material selection to end-of-life, including low-impact production processes. Ecodesign is a methodology, discipline, and responsibility, anticipating the environmental consequences of every choice.
Regenesi as a Laboratory of Experimentation and Action
Being invited to Climate Change & Sustainability 2025 is not just institutional recognition; it is confirmation of a path. Regenesi is not a brand that “also does sustainability” — it is a laboratory of applied research operating in fashion.
Over the years, this approach has led to collaborations with universities, research centers, and cultural institutions. A central point of Maria Silvia Pazzi’s talk was the need to identify concrete actions that can reduce the environmental impact of fashion from the ground up, without waiting for top-down regulations or delegating responsibility for change to others.
Beyond the Conference: A Continuous Commitment
The Milan presentation marks a moment, not an endpoint. The real challenge is not recounting what has been done, but continuing to do it, improve it, share it, and scale it.
Regenesi commits to being not just a brand, but a platform for knowledge and collaboration, open to cross-sector exchange. The ecological transition of fashion cannot result from isolated company actions, but from a collaborative ecosystem centered on research, innovation, and beauty.
True beauty alone will not save the world — but it can inspire the actions that will.
