Because we only get one planet

That’s why Elize Been only works with sustainable brands. She does her research, asks critical questions and looks beyond polished promises. At the same time, she understands that no product is completely footprint-free, not even sustainable ones, and that every choice has an impact.

That’s why she emphasizes taking good care of what you already own and thinking carefully before buying something new. Fewer things, better choices, and using them for as long as possible.

No fast fashion. No mass production like McDonald’s. No unnecessary plastic. No animal cruelty. No child labour.
Instead: consciously made fashion and lifestyle products, vegan skincare and vegetarian food. Not perfect, but thoughtful and responsible.

What started as modeling grew into a conscious way of creating. Over the years, Elize learned that real influence isn’t about visibility, but about the choices you make and the stories you decide to tell.

The values behind her work

Elize chooses to collaborate exclusively with sustainable brands because it reflects who she is and how she lives. With a deep love for animals, she believes all animals deserve a chance to live, which is why she supports animal-friendly products, vegan fashion and plant-based food. Before becoming a model, Elize worked for years as a social worker, giving her a strong awareness of social inequality and the impact of our choices beyond materialism. She consciously selects brands that value animal welfare, human rights, fair working conditions and materials with a lower environmental impact. Quality matters more than quantity to her. She embraces a minimalist lifestyle, lives in a tiny house and believes a few well-made pieces that last are far better than disposable fashion produced at the expense of people and the planet. As a greenfluencer, Elize also feels a responsibility to give back by refusing fast fashion shoots. Above all, this way of working simply feels right. Since committing fully to green brands, she has found more joy, alignment and genuine connection in her work, and that energy carries through everything she creates.
