Ethical Fashion Show Berlin: Exhibitor Highlights
Get to know five exhibitors from this week’s Ethical Fashion Show Berlin.
The Ethical Fashion Show Berlin, taking place from July 8-10, is based on a visionary concept tailored to innovative street fashion and casual wear brands, for which, as you might guess, ecology and ethics matter.
There are over 80 exhibitors that will be displaying their latest collections this week and we went through and selected some standouts for your viewing pleasure.
CUS by Adriana Zalacain offers timeless clothes that last for years (not for seasons), and become life-long valuable pieces, that adopt their own story over time. Only sustainable materials are used like organic cotton and wool, recycled fabrics or innovative eco-friendly materials.
Elementum by Daniela Pais, is one brand’s concept to apply sustainable principles to clothing. Elementum clothing collections are based on the total use of a single piece of cloth created from a tubular dimension where minimum cuts provide maximum use. It consists of 4-10 timeless designs with each functioning as a scarf, dress, top, vest and more.
Format by Mareike Ulman offers designs that are essentially minimalistic. All pieces are made considering high ecological, ethical standards and collections are partly independent from seasons because the company believes that sustainability implies that clothes ought not to be old-fashioned after 6 months.
Harold’s produces bags at a small company in South America where most of the workers have been for more than 20 years – a fact that guarantees profound and sustainable know-how and thus high quality of the products. The leather used comes from surrounding regions in South America from cattle that live in nature in South America and not in barns.
INHEELS is a Tokyo x London based ethical fashion brand. Most products are created in their partner Fairtrade factories in India and Nepal. The company believes that its mission cannot be achieved solely by working with Fairtrade bodies as obtaining the Fairtrade label requires both funding and resources. For this reason, it also works with a number of small producer groups, creating work locally and empowering their community.
