#SUSTAINABLEFASHIONMATERZ
@mrpatrickduffy founded @globalfashionexchange in 2013 as an initiative to challenge the fashion industry to create a more sustainable world through promoting of sustainability, educational content, cultural events and swap events. Patrick is always looking to find ways to improve what’s not working so well in the fashion industry, or as he says: “Going against ‘fashion’ I suppose! I hope that what I do can be an example for others to think outside-the-box and inspire them to create and innovate in a way that’s positive for people and planet.” . @globalfashionexchange has given new life to over one million pounds of textiles which we’re headed to landfill with over 40 events on 5 continents. 👏👏👏👏 . What does sustainable fashion mean to @mrpatrickduffy ? “Since ‘Sustainable + Fashion’ don’t typically go together as one is about preserving and the other is about trends and consumption, to me seems to be a paradox that the industry is having a is having a hard time figuring out. That being said, I would love for sustainability and regenerative culture to be the trend-engine that fashion exists on, but with one caveat, to never go out of style. . What do you think will change in the next 5 years? “People will. I think consumers are really tired of being lied too. Also I think people are waking up and seeing the harmful effects that the industry has been getting away with for too long and letting them know that “change is coming” as Greta Says. “ . ©️@sustainablefashionmatterz . . . #sustainablefashionmatterz #globalfashionexchange #mrpatrickduffy #patrickduffy #sustainablefashion #greenfashion #fashionjournalism #slowfashion #consciousconsumer #sharingeconomy #sustainabilityresearch #fashionresearch #berlinfashionwe #buyless #sustainabledesigners #sustainablesolutions #sustainablefuture #fashiondesigner #fairfashionblogger #fairfashion #gamechangers #buylesschoosewell #fashioninnovation #questioningthesystem
Over 270,000 people were on the streets in Berlin today. The @fashionchangers organized a block to spread awareness on the issues of the textile industry. We want #fairbylaw and we want political guidelines for a more sustainable textile industry. On our way there, one of the most efficient ways for us to save CO2 is to buy less new things ✊ . What are your tips for saving CO2 when it comes to clothing? . 📸First pic by ©️ @maxboe . . . #everypersonmakesadifference #sustainablefashionmatterz #lessnewmeanslessco2 #fashionforfuture #lessnewlessco2 #entrepreneursforfuture #omasforfuture #opasforfuture #scientistsforfuture #fashionforfuture #parentsforfuture #studentsforfuture #bloggersforfuture #allesfürsklima #globalclimatestrike #fridaysforfuture #september2019 #fashionrevolution #fff #f4f #globalclimatestrike #standup #standupforthefuture #berlin #brandenburgertor #fashionchangers #letschangethatfashiongame
ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH: RECYCLE. . We discovered these pieces by Chloe Fischer @fischer.chloe when together with @fashionchangers we were brainstorming on who might have some nice showpieces for the @fridaysforfuture.de strike tomorrow. . In her studies of fashion design she created this collection from 15 unwanted mens dress shirts which she gathered from her friends, family and acquaintances. The prints were done using old plastic bags she had laying around. YES, that's right, you can use your old plastic bags to make prints out of them. For this the fabric you 'print' on should be 100% cotton, and be sure to use baking paper in between the iron and the plastic bag. . Quick interview: . Why did you study fashion design? "I always wanted to study fashion and after studying health science for a few semesters, I was given the opportunity to move to Berlin where I applied at @lettevereinberlin_modedesign . I knew even before I started that I wanted to focus on creating sustainable fashion, I just didn't know how important that would become for me in the end. I feel it's our responsibility as fashion designers to change the way the industry works." . What inspired your collection? "The inspiration behind the collection RE: was the fashion industry itself. After having read a few books and really experiencing the amount of waste created in the design world, I decided I didn't want to be apart of it anymore. Because plastic waste is a huge topic these days, I wanted to incorporate that into the collection. For me, sustainability is much more than how your product is produced and how it can be disposed of later- I want to focus on creating less by using what already exists and making it fashionable." .

Worldwide, clothing utilization (how often we put something on) has decreased by 36% compared to 15 years ago. - source @ellenmacarthurfoundation . In this photo are some secondhand finds from @kleinerladen on #SHOPLOCALDAY2019 (unsolicited advertisement). A 100% cashmere sweater for 39€ and a floor long viscose dress or 18€. . Secondhand is not only more sustainable than newly produced items but also a good alternative when you’re on a budget. #doubleplus . On another note: If you have an item you love and want to share it’s story, @fairnica teamed up with @misssinterpreted and the Eine Welt Zentrum Herne to make a poster campaign which is about the story of our clothes, and are excited to see the stories of your favorite pieces. If you want to join the conversation the hashtags are #storyofyourdress and #wennkleiderreden - #followingthesehashtags . . . #sustainablefashionmatterz #kleinerladen #sustainablefashionblogger #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld #sustainablefashion #shoplocal #fairfashionforward #consciousconsumer #fashion4change #secondhandfinds #fairfashionblog #kleinelädenandiemacht #conciousconsumer #ethicalfashionnetwork #byebyefastfashion #schöneberg #fashiondesignberlin #vintageberlin #shoppingberlin #fairfashionblogger #fairfashion #ethicalfashion #berlinshoppingguide #byebyefastfashion
