On Instagram, Holger Petermann describes himself as “créateur de valeurs”. He has been dealing with sustainability issues for a long time. He brings them together with style, form and design. So it is only logical that Holger does not lag behind trends, but creates them. He is managing director of the PR and marketing agency “THINK INC” and with “Standard Project” he develops the theme of slow fashion as a collective brand.
