She is definitely one of the most important <strong>pioneers<\/strong> of the sustainable fashion scene. Because when she launched her first <strong>jeans collection<\/strong> from <strong>hemp<\/strong> with the wonderfully ambiguous name THC &#8211; The Hanf Company, sustainable fashion was not an issue. Everything seemed to be in <strong>abundance<\/strong>. And yet Claudia Lanius was fascinated by the fast and <strong>environmentally friendly<\/strong> raw material, which can be processed so wonderfully &#8211; especially in combination with silk.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Her visionary hemp collections made Claudia Lanius the eco-pioneer in Germany<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Even today, the Cologne-based woman still has great parts of hemp in her collections, which she has been selling since 1999 under her own name.

What has changed in sustainable fashion since you founded your label?<br \/>\n<strong>Claudia Lanius:<\/strong> Since the establishment of Lanius in 1999 and the founding of my first company &#8220;THC &#8211; The Hanf Company&#8221; in 1994, a lot has changed. There were, as now, people who begin and redesign things with <strong>courage<\/strong>. At the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/en\/hessnatur-labelportraet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hessnatur<\/a> certainly did this, whose <strong>quality standards<\/strong> became my<strong> model<\/strong>. Since then, much has happened: the fashion has simply become more <strong>beautiful<\/strong>, the <strong>offer is bigger<\/strong>. The <strong>suppliers<\/strong> have opened, are trying out, and are more open<strong> to change<\/strong>. One could say: On all sides, <strong>consciousness<\/strong> is there for how we have grown, that we have only one planet Earth, we have to recycle things and put on sustainable resources.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7834\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7834\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7834 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-850x850.jpg\" alt=\"Claudia Lanius\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-850x850.jpg 850w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-KLeid.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Perfect for the summer: the delicate scarf made of organic cotton<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>my-GREENstyle:<\/strong> How can it be that fair-trade clothing is still so negligently low in the <strong>sales figures<\/strong>?<br \/>\n<strong>Claudia Lanius:<\/strong> It is still a <strong>small number<\/strong> of sustainable productions.

Previously it was called <strong>&#8220;organic fashion&#8221;<\/strong>, or &#8220;eco-fashion&#8221;. This was really terrible unsexy, so I have not adapted these concepts for me. Then came some English term like &#8220;Fashion &amp; Ecology&#8221;. That sounded better. But &#8220;organic fashion&#8221; was really long the time the term. Meanwhile English terms are firmly anchored in our vocabulary and therefore I can get in touch with <strong>Fair Fashion<\/strong> and the German counterpart of<strong> sustainable fashion<\/strong> and fair fashion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7836\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7836\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7836 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-850x850.jpg\" alt=\"Claudia Lanius\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-850x850.jpg 850w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Claudia-Lanius-Mantel.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casual elegance in White &amp; Black<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>my-GREENstyle:<\/strong> If we do not think of something better &#8211; something that fills <strong>fashion<\/strong> and <strong>design<\/strong>. <strong>Clear conscience<\/strong> included?<br \/>\n<strong>Claudia Lanius:<\/strong> I can only recommend our <strong>claim<\/strong>, which is based on our corporate understanding and embraces sustainable<strong> development<\/strong> as a continuing<strong> process<\/strong>: LOVE FASHION \/ THINK ORGANIC \/ BE RESPONSIBLE.

The <strong>textile industry<\/strong> follows: With the <a href=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/en\/tag\/greenshowroom-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethical Fashion Show in Berlin<\/a>, we are one of the first to offer sustainable fashion a platform for presentation at Fashion Week. Sustainability has become a lifestyle and the Germans can always be convinced by an international comparison of quality features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>my-GREENstyle:<\/strong> The<strong> competition<\/strong> has also grown over the years in the sustainable area. What <strong>impact<\/strong> does this have on your own label?<br \/>\n<strong>Claudia Lanius:<\/strong> Competition stimulates <strong>business<\/strong>. I find it pretty great that we are not alone in the market. A few years ago, I was really <strong>afraid<\/strong> that the whole would fall asleep. Where the<strong> supply<\/strong> increases,<strong> demand<\/strong> also increases. In the DOB segment, we are still the leading label and I am very happy. But there are many other labels that have established themselves in the field, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/en\/philomena-zanetti-labelportraet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philomena Zanetti<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/my-greenstyle.com\/en\/eco-darling-the-mohair-sweater-from-isabel-de-hillerin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isabell de Hillerin<\/a>, and honest by. They all revive the market and make it interesting.
