When I was at the Berliner Mode Salon<\/strong> during the Fashion Week, I was speechless, how many young German designers<\/strong> work sustainable without shouting it from the rooftops. In discussions with Tim Labenda, Malaika Raiss and some other Berlin designers<\/strong>, I learned that fair production methods<\/strong> and respect for the environment<\/strong> are self-evident to them. Just as obvious, they do not have the eco-label attached to their fantastic high-fashion collections<\/strong>. For whatever reason: “Eco” and “sustainable” are positively occupied in the minds of the broad masses. But when it comes to fashion, many consumers still have the much described – yawn, I can barely hear and not believe – jute looks in mind…<\/p>\n

Sustainable High Fashion needs a lot of spotlight <\/div><\/div><\/span><\/h4>\n

Accordingly, great I find the mentoring program for sustainable Berlin designers, which the Fashion Council Germany<\/strong>, together with the Berlin Senate Administration<\/strong> and Messe Frankfurt<\/strong>, has created. The kick-off took place in April 2017. A total of 21 Berlin designers<\/strong> have applied to the 6-month mentoring program, which includes targeted coachings and workshops as well as participation at the Greenshowroom <\/a>in July 2017.<\/p>\n

Benu Berlin, Farrah Floyd, Maqu, Philomena Zanetti, and Schmidttakahashi have had to prove themselves in a second round of applications<\/strong> in front of the high-caliber jury<\/strong> of national sustainability and design experts. Philomena Zanetti<\/strong> and Benu Berlin<\/strong> have won. But the others also have such great projects, that I would like to introduce the five finalists<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
