Sustainable Work
Berlin Fashion Week, I once again successfully survived. Thanks to all who came or where with me in spirit!
Last week was full of interesting conversations, observations, and connections- all of which fostering my confidence in sustainable fashion as the future that cannot be evaded and leaving me with the enthusiasm of someone who sees a lot of challenging tasks ahead.
I am looking forward to working in this field as a designer now that I sucessfully passed my exams. Apart from actual designing I am also going to continue research on sustainable strategies and material. Speeches, workshops and more published writing are also on the list of objectives for the future.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, please send me an e-mail so that we can look into possibilities for collaboration.

Fashion Week Berlin January 2010
I would like to invite you to two events I am involved in during Fashion Week Berlin.
On Friday, 22 January, 7.30 pm, I will be part of a panel discussion on the topic of "Utopia- ...how nice without you?". There will be a get-together with all the participants after the discourse. The discussion is part of the program accompanying the textile design exhibition "... how nice without utopia?" at Epicentro Art Space, a cooperation with the exhibition "Utopia Matters" at Deutsche Guggenheim.
On the weekend of 23/24 January the porcelain series "family portraits" will be on display at muse_store at Deutsche Guggenheim. This project was started in summer 2008 with designer and artist Björn Bernt and will be exhibited as a premiere. A selection of pieces of our new series "starbugs" will be for sale, as well as my book "Slow Fashion". It has been available since November 2009 as the third volume of "Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Sponsorship Award for Design Critical Texts" with Swiss publisher Niggli. Björn Bernt and I will be present on both days from 6 to 8 pm and are looking forward to an opportunity to talk and exchange ideas.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
