Your Eco Fashion Guide for the Berlin Fashion Week:
Although the amount of green designers and eco brands in Germany is still growing, the topic of eco fashion in Germany somehow slided away from the main stage again. There are some exceptions, and while H&M is buying off all the organic cotton from the market, the eco fashion avant garde have their own parties…
Wednesday 28. January:
- Vernissage Magdalena Schafrin at Galeries Lafayette
Magdalena Schaffrin is one of the rising stars of eco fashion in Germany, who launches her sales at Galleries Lafayette. Magdalena recently stated in an interview, she’s going to get rid of seasons, because her fashion has another rhythm. That’s what I call courage.
