The art of dressing eco friendly
It’s not easy to find a sustainable favorite label. Among all the offers to find out what materials are used to produce clothing, how the processing of the clothing is, how transparent the label acts as a company and whether does it also meet the personal fashion taste. I have been finding relatively quickly a designer who always surprises and inspires me. Gudrun Sjöden! Continue reading “Gudrun Sjöden, designer, brand and sustainability advocate, Sweden”
When we go out into nature and go on an adventure, we want to be highly functionally equipped so that we don’t freeze, get wet and can still move sportily and well. Unfortunately, a large part of outdoor fashion consists of materials that are neither good for us nor for nature. Let’s take a closer look.
Sweatwear is now available everywhere and in all colours. It is worn by young and old, in leisure time and on the executive floor, with and without a hood. Precisely because it is so popular, let’s take a closer look at how we can live sustainably in and with jumpers. Continue reading “Take a closer look at sweatwear”
Sneakers have become a lifestyle product and it’s hard to imagine our wardrobe without them. They are mostly super comfortable and presentable. More and more brands are focusing on sustainable sneakers. What is behind it and what does it actually depend on? Continue reading “Have a closer look at sneakers”
Mandy Töppel and Kristina Fajga from Berlin have been blogging on autark.berlin since 2019 around topics of sustainable clothing consumption and ask themselves what a 1.5 degree lifestyle looks like. During their research, they noticed that information on the topic is scattered everywhere, contradicts each other and is sometimes not available at all.

I’m not sure that with all our sustainability efforts, the majority of us are aware of what’s in our clothes: Birkenstocks made of leather, shaving brushes made of badger hair, hip down jackets made of goose feathers – all sustainable. It depends on how you look at it. All these things contain materials of animal origin. Is vegan the more sustainable alternative? Continue reading “Vegan, baby”
Water is our elixir of life. We love to be by the water, the lake, the sea and to relax. Without water, nothing is created, neither humans nor nature can survive. But far out in the oceans, whole plastic islands of unimaginable size are floating, caused by us humans. Tiny micro-particles of plastic float beneath the surface of the water, invisible to our eyes and disturbing our ecological balance. Already today, scientists can prove that plastic waste caused by humans ultimately harms not only marine life, but also ourselves. The production and use of our clothing are a driving factor. Continue reading “We love being by the sea – plasticfree, baby”
