(Very) modern manners

WHILE ‘eco saint’ Greta Thunberg preaches against fast fashion and buying new clothes, her sister Beata takes a different approach.

Opera singer Beata, 17, who’s currently starring in the musical Forever Piaf in her native Stockholm, Sweden, enjoys nothing more than posing in clothes from High Street chains.

Here’s a photograph she shared this week with her 13,000 social media followers of her posing in a colourful patterned leotard from trendy store Urban Outfitters. ‘Yes, baby!’ she gushes.

Greta, 19, has condemned the fashion industry, revealing in August 2021 that she had not bought any new items of clothing for more than three years.

‘You cannot mass produce fashion or consume “sustainably”, as the world is shaped today,’ she thundered, describing the industry as ‘a huge contributor to the climate and ecological emergency’. Clearly, her younger sister disagrees . . .
