S6E04 Milano Unfolded with Evelien Reich

Evelien states:

“We are in love with warm colors now, burgundy, caramel browns and yellows. You will not find a lot of blues except for petrol blues and some Yves Klein blues but there were only few. There is on the other hand a lot of aluminum used right now which is 100% recyclable so it feels like a sustainable choice.”
