Berlin. Fashion, models and glamor: Berlin next week again to host the
international fashion scene. At Berlin Fashion Week show, the designers
present their collections for spring and summer of 2013. Labels show
there also sustainable and equitable fashion.
The days of baggy linen dresses are an expression of political views,
according to the designer Magdalena Schaffrin over. Today was no longer
green fashion to distinguish it from conventional clothing, says the
organization of two exhibitions Green Showroom and the Ethical Fashion
Show in Berlin. "People want to dress fashionably, and the issue of
sustainability is a matter of course for many."
When it comes to green and fairly produced fashion put the manufacturers
have different priorities. Some go there for the raw material, other
low a pollutant, and others campaigned for fair conditions of
production, said Rolf Buschmann from the Consumer North
Rhine-Westphalia.
The Hamburg-based designer Julia Jung Starp has something else in mind:
the life of silk-worms. Because Starp used for their so-called ahimsa
silk dresses. Unlike traditional mulberry silk the caterpillars may
hatch from their cocoons as moths and fly out into the world. "I think
the idea of simply wonderful that the butterflies to survive and not
be disturbed in its natural development," says Starp.
Owe their survival to the Indian moth Kusuma Rajaiah that you wanted to
save her from the cocoon cooking pot. Because usually the larvae are
killed, so long as the filament up to 1,000 meters, hatching is not
destroyed. Since Ahimsa silk spun at the first thread has eaten through,
the stuff is not quite as "fluffy" as other silk, says Matias Langer.
He is one of the few dealers who sell ahimsa silk in Germany - for at
least 19 € per meter. Compared to conventional silk, this is about twice
as much. But it's worth to its customers: "For many people it always
has been an abomination, that the caterpillars can be killed."
Recycling is all the rage
Sustainability has many facets. A new trend this year's Ethical Fashion
Show is the opinion of Magdalena Schaffrin the recycling of clothes. The
Austrian label milk as used in old men's trousers and shirts, to sew
clothes for them. Recycling is on the rise, confirming the responsible
designer Cloed Baumgartner. Because the resources were always scarce. To
extend the life of clothing, is far better than buying organic cotton,
as was needed for their cultivation a lot of water.
Baumgartner gets its raw materials from the pounds of used clothes. Then
things are only washed once very hot and then assessed. What is the
ladies' dresses are made to look much more frequently - about the
trousers, which now acts as the hem of a dress. Behind it, a little bit
of feminism, which raises the question: "Who now has the pants on," the
designer explains, laughing.
The metamorphosis of the men's trousers to the cap
The recycling of clothing would also work at home. Everything is made of
jersey, so most of the T-shirt could easily be cut off because the
material is not ausfranse. An old shirt can thus have a new top or a
bikini to be conjured. With the metamorphosis of the pants with a skirt
is the end of the hanging rail has not been reached, says Baumgartner.
From a damaged dress a bag or cap could be made. And finally, it would
still be the shoe cleaning cloths.
On rhubarb instead of pollutants is the label Deep Mello. Background is a
natural tanning process in which the animal skin is with "the power of
rhubarb root" into leather. In Deux Filles en Fil remnants are to
handbags of textile and leather industry processed and other
accessories. The green ideas around the Berlin Fashion Week are varied.
They have one thing in common: They are the world a little better. Even
though this is not as clear as once saccular with the linen clothes.
