When asked whether he is optimistic or pessimistic about the future of our planet’s climate, Georg Kaser answers simply and clearly that it is no longer a question of asking this question, but only of doing something. And he is doing something now. Georg Kaser is Professor of Climate and Cryosphere Research and currently Dean of the Faculty of Geo- and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Innsbruck. He contributed to the 4th and 5th Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and is now also active in the current 6th reporting cycle. The professor is considered one of the most influential climate researchers worldwide. He thinks the “Fridays for Future” movement is great, both as a scientist and as an individual. He will talk about what needs to be done. What each one of us can do to get this under control.

Andri Stocker is the third in the group at PHYNE, the German eco-label from Mannheim, which started in 2017 to show that sustainable fashion can be interpreted in a modern way and implemented in an original way. The business economist came to fashion in the same way as a virgin bears a child. Because the textile industry and its working methods were completely foreign to him until then.

“Sustainability is a social challenge. Sustainable fashion must therefore be accessible to everyone, affordable, transparent and convincing in terms of quality in order to bring about the greatest possible change.” Andri Stocker

But that was precisely his motivation and perhaps also a certain advantage. Because after many years in the start-up and digital scene, he was looking for a new challenge and was able to tackle it without any “handicap”.

With Dirk Meycke, Andri Stocker had an experienced co-founder at his side, whose fashion experience he could always rely on. In his daily work, he sees himself primarily in the role of an enabler and works on establishing and expanding the structures and processes at PHYNE, so that sustainable fashion in general and PHYNE in particular can grow steadily and sustainably.

Magdalena Schaffrin is the CEO and Co-Founder of Kaleidoscope, a creative agency based in Berlin. Kaleidoscope is working with fashion and sustainability in the fields of strategic consulting, concept development, creative and content direction.

2016 she developed the coffee-table book “Fashion Made Fair” together with Ellen Köhrer, which gives an overview on the most important contemporary brands and experts from the different fields in sustainability in fashion. To be honest: it was the very first “Fair Fashion Bible” in Germany, that show, that sustainable fashion has the power to be the next big thing.

She co-founded the Greenshowroom in 2009, a fashion trade fair for sustainable high fashion, today known as Neonyt, the global hub for fashion, sustainability and innovation.

She is the creative director of Neonyt and responsible for the Neonyt Fashion Show, what is the biggest fair fashion fair for B2B in the world

For us Magdalena is the German eco deluxe pioneer. Reed more about Magdalena Schaffrin on my-GREENstyle.com (new interview is coming up soon)

His credo? Away from the throwaway society towards a circular economy. The Berliner by choice has been in fashion for almost 20 years and knows what he’s talking about. Kay Alexander Plonka consistently uses his private enthusiasm for a resource-saving and sustainable lifestyle to inspire others for his values. The all-rounder also has trade fair experience in matters of sustainability. He collected them ten years ago as Executive Editor at Bread & Butter. Today, in addition to his work as a Berlin correspondent for the international fashion magazine “Style in Progress”, he works as a freelance journalist or moderates panels at NEONYT‘s FashionSustain. As Dopper Ambassador Germany, he is consistently committed to avoiding waste. That’s why you meet him – when he’s not sailing the oceans and campaigning for the #FiveForTheOcean campaign – also at various trash walks (e.g. with North Sails & THINK INC. In the English Garden in Munich).

For more than 25 years, OEKO-TEX® has been the label for textiles that have been tested for harmful substances, which combines the certifications Standard 100, Made in Green and STeP by OEKO-TEX® (brand new also for leather) under one roof. Dipl. Ing. Georg Dieners, Secretary General of OEKO-TEX®, knows best what is hidden behind the individual standards and certifications.

Thimo Schwenzfeier

As director at Marketing Communications Textiles & Textile Technologies and show director of NEONYT by Messe Frankfurt, Thimo Schwenzfeier knows all the ins and outs of the sustainable fashion industry even before it reaches the public. Since the renaming of the sustainable B2B trade fair duo Greenshowroom and Ethical Fashionshow to NEONYT, international hub for fashion and innovation, it is clear that eco is the new cool. We are proud of this partnership.
