Surfing online for topics that are important to me is part of my daily work. In this time of Corona, even a bit more. Besides comments, analyses and news on the far-reaching pandemic, I look and listen with great interest to how the textile industry is reacting to this crisis. And there is a lot going on right now.

Sustainability in fashion on the rise

People are writing and posting and therefore also thinking a lot. Sustainability in the textile industry – in fashion – seems to be rapidly increasing in importance. On the platform for industry professionals „Business of Fashion“ articles are lining up. Word seems to have got around that sustainability is not limited to producing or wearing a T-shirt made of organic cotton and that companies and consumers are becoming more aware of this now more than ever before.

Sustainability should be a lifestyle.

This concerns us personally, every day. I can imagine that through Corona we get a feeling for how living more sustainably can look like. This feeling could help us to understand that climate change is as real as Corona is, but, as experts emphasize, its effects will be much, much worse. We still have the opportunity to counteract this. And yes, do not lose heart.

Climate change is as real as Corona.

The sustainable fashion community is very active right now. It usually is, but Corona has stepped up the pace again. The 4th edition of the sustainable trade fair and conference format GREENSTYLE munich, for example, is now taking place virtually. With text, image and video contributions. The platform will be expanded digitally and thus become a hub of the sustainable fashion scene.

Anyone who has time and inclination to spend more time on the subject of textile production will find that the “Good on you” platform has put together some interesting information for the Corona era: Films, podcasts and upcycling tipps for creative people.

Update your Website by Sabine Vaas

Sabine Vaas

Sabine Vaas loves design and aesthetics. She has a feel for people and can put stories behind the scenes into words that we would never dream of. In short: Sabine can write. And she does so for all renowned high fashion magazines and among others also for GREENSTYLE. We love her portraits for VOGUE as much as for GREENSTYLE. You want to use the next weeks to give your website, your online shop etc. a new face? Sabine is happy to take care of portraits etc.

Sabine Vaas, born 1980, has been working as a freelance editor for various publishing houses, including Hubert Burda Media or Condé Nast, since 2010. Her thematic focuses: fashion, beauty, psychology, travel, interior, people and (green) lifestyle.

“Moving people – that is the goal of my work: writing, conceptualizing, developing ideas and themes, telling stories and communicating. Portraits allow me to learn something about the character and motivation of a person: What inspires them? Why do they do what they do? To perceive the nuances in conversation, to read the person and then tell their own personal story fascinates me anew each time.

So if you want to personalize your website with an expressive (short) portrait of yourself, need SEO optimized product texts or support in newsletter production, or need editorial texts, you’ve come to the right place.

Why we are NOT currently offering discounts

Rabatt

Discovered today on Facebook: the brand letter from Christina Wille, founder of the LOVECO Stores on the subject of discounts. We wanted to put this topic on the conference agenda anyway. A look behind the scenes is urgently needed here, so that the context and the meaning of the (vital!) original price reaches the consumer.

Fashion for face masks

Fashion industry is most heavily struck by corona and its effects. Due to delivery, dispatch and shop shutdowns production chains are interrupted, turnovers decrease and small brands in the first place are threatened in means of existence. To prevent short-time work, dismissals and company closings some eco brands, fashion enterprises and old fashioned businesses switch production to fabricate highly needed face masks.

World Water Day: Fashion & Water

Mode & Wasser

Water is a vital component of life. Unfortunately, this precious resource is finite. In five years, 2.8 billion people in 48 countries will not have access to sufficient quantities of drinking water. Besides year-round campaigns and brands such as “Stop the water while using me” and “Guppy Bag”, the annual World Water Day on March 22nd draws attention to this fact. Fashion & Water is and will remain a topic in the future.
