Eco-designers rely on green clothing fashion

FASHION WEEK
Eco-designers rely on hatching butterflies and rhubarb

Berlin. Fashion, models and glamor: Berlin next week again to host the international fashion scene. At Berlin Fashion Week show, the designers present their collections for spring and summer of 2013. Labels show there also sustainable and equitable fashion.

The days of baggy linen dresses are an expression of political views, according to the designer Magdalena Schaffrin over. Today was no longer green fashion to distinguish it from conventional clothing, says the organization of two exhibitions Green Showroom and the Ethical Fashion Show in Berlin. "People want to dress fashionably, and the issue of sustainability is a matter of course for many."


When it comes to green and fairly produced fashion put the manufacturers have different priorities. Some go there for the raw material, other low a pollutant, and others campaigned for fair conditions of production, said Rolf Buschmann from the Consumer North Rhine-Westphalia.

The Hamburg-based designer Julia Jung Starp has something else in mind: the life of silk-worms. Because Starp used for their so-called ahimsa silk dresses. Unlike traditional mulberry silk the caterpillars may hatch from their cocoons as moths and fly out into the world. "I think the idea of ​​simply wonderful that the butterflies to survive and not be disturbed in its natural development," says Starp.

Owe their survival to the Indian moth Kusuma Rajaiah that you wanted to save her from the cocoon cooking pot. Because usually the larvae are killed, so long as the filament up to 1,000 meters, hatching is not destroyed. Since Ahimsa silk spun at the first thread has eaten through, the stuff is not quite as "fluffy" as other silk, says Matias Langer. He is one of the few dealers who sell ahimsa silk in Germany - for at least 19 € per meter. Compared to conventional silk, this is about twice as much. But it's worth to its customers: "For many people it always has been an abomination, that the caterpillars can be killed."

Recycling is all the rage
Sustainability has many facets. A new trend this year's Ethical Fashion Show is the opinion of Magdalena Schaffrin the recycling of clothes. The Austrian label milk as used in old men's trousers and shirts, to sew clothes for them. Recycling is on the rise, confirming the responsible designer Cloed Baumgartner. Because the resources were always scarce. To extend the life of clothing, is far better than buying organic cotton, as was needed for their cultivation a lot of water.
