Siebenblau: Organic fabrics / Bio-Öko-Stoffe

When I went to TheKey.to I realized again, that I really, really have to focus more on making products out of organic and fair trade  fabrics – and that’s on my mind already a long time.

And there already were some RevoluzZza dolls I made with organic or recycling fabrics. But the main problem ist without any doubt: to get beautiful organic fair trade fabrics. And now I finally found a great shop for organic fabrics. And lucky me – this shop is even in Berlin: Siebenblau.
Yesterday I drove to that shop, got to know the owner, …

Fashion Week Berlin: TheKey.to

The Fashion Week Berlin is over now – and I had some really interesting talks, inspirations and saw some really good stuff at TheKey.to, the International Event for Green Fashion and Sustainable Lifestyle and Culture.

Sometimes I got the impression so far that many designers have the idea that taking some eco cotton shirt that is sweatshop free produced and print some provocing message on it is just enough to make “green fashion”.

Fashion Week Berlin: Have a look!

Yesterday the Fashion Week Berlin started again – and there are really a lot of interesting people making interesting stuff. Like these – check them out: “Reanimation – Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen”.

Gestern hat wieder die Fashion Week Berlin gestartet – und es gibt wieder jede Menge Interessantes zu sehen.
Das Projekt “Reanimation – Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen” hat ein ganz spezielles und interessantes Konzept entwickelt: Man spielt mit getragener Kleidung, die plötzlich von der Massenware zur zweiten Haut mit individueller Prägung wird – und per RFID-Chip sogar nachverfolgt werden kann.

New Year – New Dress / Neues Jahr – neues Kleid

The Berlin Fashion Week is starting soon again – and I’m selling my things in a shop where people who visit the Fashion Week often go, too. So I’m working on yome nice dresses for kids. Last year I saw some really nice hand printed fabrics – and I already tried that from time to time but never had a real idea how to use it (btw – if you ever want to try that too – this is a great book: “Printing by Hand” ). I really love the unique results you get when you print by hand – …
