<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Currently you can read
a series of articles about Danish mens fashion on various news sites, among
others <a href="http://fashionforum.dk/2013/02/28/soulland-unisex-er-det-vaerste-der-findes/">FashionForum.dk</a>. David Jenkins wrote a <a href="http://politiken.dk/debat/debatindlaeg/ECE1901229/dansk-herremode-faar-maend-til-at-ligne-androgyne-unge-drenge/">chronicle</a> in the Danish newspaper
Politiken where he describes Danish mens fashion as developing towards the
gutter, being androgynous, boyish and apathetical. This started a welcome
discussion of men’s fashion. To David Jenkins there is only one way to go with
men’s fashion; a high quality tailored suit and a tie tied the right way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Current popular
fashion with low-cut revealing t-shirts, skinny jeans and unisex-shoes
approaches rock bottom rapidly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I find mens fashion
extremely interesting because of the challenges that lie within that area, one
you don’t find in womens fashion. In women’s fashion there are so many
possibilities and almost everything is allowed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is a paradox
with men and womens fashion. A woman can show a lot of skin without you really
taking notice. But if she shows too much breast it will become offensive. A man
can take of his t-shirt and you won’t find it provocative, but he can’t wear an
asymmetrical shirt only covering one shoulder or a deep cut t-shirt revealing a
lot of his chest without it seeming vulgar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There is fashion for
certain environments and situations that you should respect and I do love a
suit that fits well on the man. Having said that, I miss creativity in mens
fashion. It is locked inside a box and I think the resistance towards
development of expression in men’s fashion is sad. We saw a similar opposition
to the development of womens fashion in the beginning of the 20<sup>th</sup>
century when women started wearing pants and “oh what catastrophe” later
embraced the suit and broad shoulders. As said in the documentary <a href="http://www.dr.dk/TV/program/modearkivet/arkiv/programmer">Modearkivet</a>
created by DR2, <i>Chanel gave women freedom, Yves Saint Laurent gave them
power.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Women haven’t
abandoned high heels and feminine dresses. They just have the freedom to play
with their looks, mixing jeans, sky-high heels and feminine little blouses or
dresses worn with sharp blazers and flat boots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I find it liberating
seeing mens fashion becoming more expressive and playful, not paying attention
to stereotypical gender roles. Maybe it takes men looking a little feminine for
a while, but I believe in time this evolution of fashion will open our eyes as
to what you can wear as a man and not loose masculinity. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have designed this new T-shirt which you can now buy at the shop Designkollektivet in Copenhagen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My idea was to make a T-shirt that will easily become your new favorite item in the basic wardrobe - but with a twist. Due to the beautiful detail on the back this T-shirt is more than just an ordinary basic item. It is perfect for the casual woman who likes to stand out wearing great design. </span>Tibbe Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02485056648143275637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394955541472141658.post-77703786116845543742012-12-17T08:07:00.003-08:002012-12-17T08:09:36.409-08:00Designkollektivet : Grand Opening<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This Saturday was the Grand Opening of our shop Designkollektivet.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There has been a lot of preparation to get the shop ready, arranging the event and finishing products.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But it was a succes. Our little cozy shop was constantly full of happy people checking out this new addition to the area around Jægersborggade, sipping wine and eating delicious homemade cake.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">From now and onwards Designkollektivet is open Monday to Friday from 12pm - 6pm and Saturday from 10am - 3pm. We are each gonna be there one day a week. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After a few days relaxing I'll be working hard on new products for the shop. First to come are tops and computer bags. </span></div>

I have changed the top logo of the blog so the visual identity is more like my website tibbesmith.com and my facebook page. (like it <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tibbe-Smith/111736262209860?fref=ts">here</a>)<br />
I hope you like it.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In my last post I talked about an exhibition where a handful of Danish and other Northern European designers presented their take on sustainable design. I was especially crazy about Ivana Helsinki's print, the feathers you see right above. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some facts I read at the exhibit:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The fashion industry is the world's third largest industry with a yearly turnover of more than €370 billion. The global textile production has grown by 25% between 2002 and 2012, wih Asia as the main contributor. Cotton is concidered the world's most dirty crop due to it's heavy use of incesticides, the pesticide being the most hazardous to human and animal health. Production of a T-shirt can cost up to 2,000 Liters of water from field to shelves.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Currently less than 1% of the world's cotton is grown organically. But from 2006 to 2010 sales of organic cotton has grown by more than 600% so things are changing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I just got home from KEA Business Forum, an afternoon conference which is held every half year in Copenhagen. This time the theme was sustainable design. Since this is such an important issue to me, of course I needed to go. Networking and learning with free cake and coffee in the break just makes for a great afternoon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Five speakers with different approaches and different backgrounds were presenting to us their knowledge on the subject, hoping to inspire and make an army of contributors to a better world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As Nille Juul-Sørensen, CEO of Danish Design Center was saying, we are entering a new age: The Ecological Age. Humans are consuming three planets' worth of resources, so we obviously need to change the way we make and use things. Sustainability isn't and must not be a trend. It marks a change in the culture of the world today; a change in the way we percieve our existence in the world. As Daniel Quinn writes in <i>Story of B:</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>"If the world is saved, it will not be by old minds with new programs </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>but with new minds with no programs at all." </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Nille Juul-Sørensen talks about how we design and develop by looking in the back mirror. Instead we need to look forward to be able to move in the right direction. It is also essential that scienctist and researchers, the industries and designers collaborate in order to find the solutions needed to make a sustainable world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of the more fashion specific talks were from a KEA student, Maja Stabel, who studies sustainable fashion. She presented her Zero-Waste project and collection that she made for David Andersen Copenhagen. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I realized that I had seen Maja's project when it was exhibited at Design Museum Denmark during the Copenhagen Fashion Week this August. As mentioned, she worked on Zero-Waste which is a technique where no fabric is wasted. It is quite a complex method where you make clothing like a puzzle with pieces cut from the fabric. As she describes it it's a spontaneous method where risk taking is essential. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All the presentations were really great and gave food for thought and a lot of inspiration and hope. I feel hope is the most important since we have to believe</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> that we can make a change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Below are some pictures from the exhibit in Design Museum Denmark taken with my phone since I came there unprepared. A post about the other designers showing their sustainable proposals at this exhibit will follow soon. </span></div>

I went to a flea market today in great need of something new for my wardrobe since I always wear the same few outfits. Found a few good things as you can see.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Summer is surely over and the fall is biting our tale. The flea market went really well. It was the first time I did this but even being rookies we sold a lot of the things. Soon it's time for a party for all the people working at Kihoskh though my partying will be interrupted since I also have to work there tonight. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I just moved in to a gorgeous apartment with my boyfriend, a big 3 room place with a great courtyard and right by the busy street Istedgade. We love it! But moving into your own place also means you need lots of things. I have been scavenging the second hand shop around Copenhagen for bargains on kitchenware, plates, glasses and all other cool stuff to put in our new home. Here's what I wore. Well actually I found the earrings in one of the shops I went to. I'll give you a close up of those along with the watch I also bought.</span><br />

Like I also mention there a portfolio should always be a work in progress and so is this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have waited for a long time, trying to figure out how I wanted it to look like, getting the right things and all the time I've felt like it wasn't good enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But not so long ago I realized that I shouldn't be satisfied. That that is not the point of a portfolio. Or anything for that matter. You can never get somewhere if you don't take the walk. You never get better if you don't practice. Being scared, intimidated or expecting yourself to be perfect will only stand in your way. So now it's out there. I am still not very happy with it, but it still feels nice. And I'll keep working on it and make it better and better and better and keep updating it again and again.</span><br />

I wanted to get some really cool and professional pictures of my work for a portfolio. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I am so lucky that my brother Kaare Smith is a photographer and wanted to help me with it. (Check out his website <a href="http://www.kaaresmith.dk/" target="_blank">here</a>) </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I then asked my good friend Marit if she wanted to model in my clothes - I am honored to say that she felt honored. (Read her blog <a href="http://maritsblogg.blogg.se/" target="_blank">here</a>) </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I had never done something like this before. Kaare also never tried to shoot for fashion, he's a journalist photographer - captures the moment in its truth. Marit had tried modelling once before some years ago, but that is not something she does either.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So all of us being pretty unexperienced we didn't really know what to expect with this shoot. I thought that would make it even more interesting, a real low-key photoshoot out in nature and in an abondoned industrial building with only rookies.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was awesome! Everything just worked. I was kinda on the side line while Kaare and Marit worked magic.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

The course is intended for people working in fashion, so it's all about making technical drawings and patterns for printing fabric. On the school they have this textile printer, and let me say it is fabulous. (something that I don't usually say, but really, it is!) It is only money that keeps me from printing and printing and printing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(For those of you who don't realize it, I want to point your attention to the fact that our clothes are usually not printed in this way, but in the old school silk-screen-printing way like Andy Warhol's images. It is not a printer but a person, - just the more reason to be impressed and apprecciate the work.)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I made this print, the first one that I finished, which you see being printed as the picture was taken. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The inspiration is from water crystals, microscopic constellations in water which shape is decided depending on which thoughts are directed toward the water. You can see on the crystals how positive thoughts create completely different constellations that negative thoughts. (so be good to yourself, you are mostly water)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">After a long designproces where I basically dissected pictures of water crystals I finally decided on this print. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It will soon become a dress - well actually I plan on making two dresses, one in a sharp clean and minimalistic cut with a deep back and one to wear on top, if you feel like more adventure, which will be a much more extravagant, flowing draped dress.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My focus throughout my degree has been the fashion industry, primarily on design and pattern making. With my strong interest in sustainability, it felt natural that my bachelor should concern sustainability in the fashion industry. I decided to create a garment that was designed to convey a message of sustainability. This was also the starting point for the written part of the project. To explore how to convey this message through clothing, it was necessary to explore what sustainability in the fashion industry really entails. In addition, I have a sociological angle on how we consume and on how we carry symbols of who we are through our clothes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There is no specific definition of sustainability, but there are many theories that deal with how we can change our ways to produce and consume. I can conclude that there are so many ways to work with sustainability in the fashion industry that you can not work with all at once. I can mention organically produced materials, minimization of transportation, recycling, fair trade and focus on working conditions, information regarding environmentally friendly maintenance, zero-waste (this means that there is not created any waste material by pattern construction but that everything is being used in the clothing piece), multi-functional design and much more. For the same reason it is also almost impossible to call a product 100% sustainable. However, one should use as many methods as possible and make a genuine effort to protect the environment and create good working conditions. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Like Kate Flecther writes: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Business as usual, or more to the point,</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>fashion as usual, is not an option.</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As a fashion company I believe it important to consider sustainability but of course also the customer. The most important thing for the consumer is design, price and availability. If you want to sell sustainable products, they must therefore be attractive and beautiful. Consumers today are using clothing as part of their self-realization process and it is therefore not surprising that the design is essential when shopping.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With the dress I have made I sought to communicate a sustainable message. But based on my research, I came to realize that it is not certain that such a message would be welcomed by a buyer. There is also the possibility that symbolic value loses its deeper meaning when used in clothing context. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_rG4kTvW_5OW2vLBpfJpy4WQUcMY9ldYlenYIQ0KlCk1zmZO1iO__5m_1n6LDkOYxfLqZu6YSwQzVM-K4BdPJPbZ50jpn_aV7UssaEgjOMTzggqR5Mef9fc3aE0PkLmMTEYOFrT9vUM/s1600/shoulder1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_rG4kTvW_5OW2vLBpfJpy4WQUcMY9ldYlenYIQ0KlCk1zmZO1iO__5m_1n6LDkOYxfLqZu6YSwQzVM-K4BdPJPbZ50jpn_aV7UssaEgjOMTzggqR5Mef9fc3aE0PkLmMTEYOFrT9vUM/s400/shoulder1.jpg" width="327" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS2Cxvzp6P3NDzTfgbptvkjzBPHN-O_PMDI6lUhK4FoWJuEeHARzUaXB5HxnluPsIw0AmOOoBSnX4I64JInq0PSD_lSUy5qHrYTV4tf8aX8zQgGU7erftdgl2kdf-O5eLoMMwtT6qTC2Q/s1600/fold1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS2Cxvzp6P3NDzTfgbptvkjzBPHN-O_PMDI6lUhK4FoWJuEeHARzUaXB5HxnluPsIw0AmOOoBSnX4I64JInq0PSD_lSUy5qHrYTV4tf8aX8zQgGU7erftdgl2kdf-O5eLoMMwtT6qTC2Q/s320/fold1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJZXnuCPUDGOO3RwGmO1mQVmcmzrBE202pm0p5UO4Q8E7oSgpGd-Kgp-VEYN30DIB6R6Ijn2jTOt-J0duLA7qYXqPLErbkskLbDTlTCp3rzj43pOXItFAAo68ML_7sGg_azIDP5f4pkw/s1600/dress+with+belt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJZXnuCPUDGOO3RwGmO1mQVmcmzrBE202pm0p5UO4Q8E7oSgpGd-Kgp-VEYN30DIB6R6Ijn2jTOt-J0duLA7qYXqPLErbkskLbDTlTCp3rzj43pOXItFAAo68ML_7sGg_azIDP5f4pkw/s400/dress+with+belt1.jpg" width="266" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOT8pvnnSLvxfOrG7j81zVaRYMKGhRJ42s8l2uWjMMCKpwqdsy_o7F36KmdHLMs1MUwHuOrQ27bm_z53KVjEh7Ca1xo0nHI1Yvzu-n19hw5wjGgIGc64K0Vi804cMlKM-q9vN8b87ROTQ/s1600/back1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOT8pvnnSLvxfOrG7j81zVaRYMKGhRJ42s8l2uWjMMCKpwqdsy_o7F36KmdHLMs1MUwHuOrQ27bm_z53KVjEh7Ca1xo0nHI1Yvzu-n19hw5wjGgIGc64K0Vi804cMlKM-q9vN8b87ROTQ/s400/back1.jpg" width="274" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Later I'll put up pics with me in the dress.

I just started to write my bachelors paper and obviously this is what it is about. Though as you might know the subject of sustainable fashion/clothing is huge and extremely complex. In my paper I choose to focus on making my suggestion of what sustainability in the industry means - since it's a widely discussed topic and there are tons of different definitons of the concept. Also I am writing about what the concept means to the consumer today and how you can communicate a sustainable concept through a garment. I will of course tell you much more about it all, but this was a short introduction.<br />
As part of my examination of the subject I have created a short questionnaire I'd love for you to answer and send to your friends.

IVANAhelsinki has this summer a sailor theme going, very well put together collection. I found these two pieces the coolest. The black one has embroidered loose chains sewed onto it, and this white one abve is made entirely of rope, I'd assume it's more a show piece than something to wear since it's very heavy.<br />
I also love the logo, though I don't think it matches so well with this collection as the logo represents something closer to nature than red/white and blue/white stripes sailor style.Tibbe Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02485056648143275637noreply@blogger.com0
