EDITOR’S LETTER
P
assword: Shine on. It is time for all of us to take our future in our hands, our life and find our way to be happier. Understand what those big or small changes are that could make you feel somehow realized. To get to know ourselves better and improve the quality of our time on this world. And if the opportunity to realize your dreams seems like utopia, then maybe you’re not doing the right dreams, or you have to change the main characters in the story.

LATEST INTERVIEW
Sustainable fashion and where to find it by Laura Zanovello
The sustainable fashion movement has never been as active as in the last few years and increasingly more brands are being invented or re-invented with an ecofriendly imprint. But where is it actually possible to find and buy these brands? Cora Hilts and Natasha Tuckers asked themselves the same question when in 2013 they founded RĂŞve En Vert. Duped as the Net-A-Porter for sustainable fashion, RĂŞve En Vert is an online store that gathers an array of sustainable luxury brands as well as makeup, skincare and home decor products. The selection comprehends activewear, underwear and fashionable pieces with important things in common such as the use of low impact and ethically
produced materials, the production made relying on local communities and the consequent guarantee that the people involved are paid fair wages and work in a suitable and safe environment, last but not least the promise to produce the minimum waste possible through recycling and upcycling. The platform does not only function as an online shop but also expands on a blog where the reader is informed on how to conduct a more conscious and green lifestyle. The customer is involved in every decision and initiative in the name of transparency and sustainability. In this interview, the founders explain the importance of these values and the meaning of their work.
First of all, what does Rêve En Vert mean and why did you choose this name? It means “dream in green” and I actually came up with it whilst I was living in Paris...I didn’t even know what I wanted to do with the name exactly I just knew that I was leaning towards something to do with environmental protection and a better world and I loved how it sounded! What were you doing before launching this business and what inspired you to start it? I actually had the idea for Rêve En Vert when I was finishing my Master’s Degree in Environmental Politics and Sustainability at Kings College London - I was in a lecture there where my professor mentioned that fashion was the second most polluting industry on earth behind oil and gas. It just seemed incredible to me that fashion, which is supposed to be one of the most innovative, creative and beautiful forms of commerce could be so backwards when it came to its environmental and humanitarian impact. The idea was to create a retailer that would allow people to have superb style without sacrificing the ethics we really need to consider when it comes to our clothing. What criteria do you use when selecting the brands to feature of your platform?
Cora Hilts Co-founder Rêve En Vert
We have four main criteria - organic, remade, local and fair - that dictate the core principles of our designers. We also look into things like water usage, chemicals and dyes and packaging. It’s really a 360 approach to who the designer is and what they stand for. We do make sure that everything is beautiful as well!

Editor’s letter
Off the runway and into the hallway! This seems to be the motto of many fashion brands that have attempted to find success in homeware collections. And while brands like Gucci, Diesel and even Shrimps with their upcoming collaboration with Habitat seem to be trailblazing, this idea is nothing new.
FASHION BRANDS with the best
Homeware by Nina Hanz
In the early 1990s, Versace produced throne-like chairs, towels, plates and more with their iconic Greek-Key motifs. Gianni had even the bottom of his Miami pool designed with the brand’s logo. And whether you love it or love to hate it, the signature patterns continue to spread. Seeing this potential, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani quickly joined the trend years ago. Now, with more collaborations like Virgil Abloh’s collection for Ikea being promoted, fashion labels can soon will called true lifestyle brands. But there must be some concerns – fashion designers are typically not trained in interior design or furniture construction. And with the home furnishings market that accumulates about 649 billion dollars, they are far less qualified than the specialists to handle such a large responsibility. However, as Diesel has proven over the last few seasons, it is all about who you are to find help. Through Diesel’s partnerships with high-end Italian design firms like Moroso and the lighting experts at Foscarini, they were able to gain in the knowledge and experienced needed to succeed in their new target market. The way fashion designers think of space, shape and form is quite similar with how aesthetic concepts work in interior design, creating the perfect match. All range of designers trying to put their hand at homeware allows us to find something for everyone. Here are some of the best to date.
Preen Home Preen by Thornton Bregazzi was founded in London in 1996 and has perfected their softnessmeets-toughness aesthetic since then. Mixing feminine frill with masculine elements, the brand has found a niche for punkish floral prints to thrive. Preen Home has taken this style and used it as inspiration of their range of notebooks, quilts, cushions and candles. Overall, it is a combination of romantic ruffled and edgy patterns.

Gucci Décor How you ever wanted to step inside a Gucci advertisement? Well, Gucci Décor lets you do just that. Including colored ceramics, mismatched chairs, painted side tables and embroidered pillows, Gucci transforms their intricate motifs into a fantasy-filled world of luxury homeware. Their old-fashioned glamour is strongly advised for the eccentric homeowner.

ARMEDANGELS fighting for the environment
Have you ever thought about the consequences of the simple actions you make on a daily basis? Normal things like wearing your jeans, finally getting your online shopping delivered or throwing away a plastic bottle? It may be hard to realize how each and every little thing we do may have an impact on us and the environment. Here is where Armedangels comes into play. This German brand with an expressive name, brings cool clothes with a conscious soul, to life. The concept behind it is quite straightforward: sustainable fashion can be very fashionable, and reasonably priced too! Everything made by Armedangels comes from a thorough research and is kind to our planet and to us. The
denim collection, for instance, focuses on eliminating harmful chemicals (for our skin and the environment) in the colouring, while also providing a full range of fits and styles for all shapes and tastes. All the fabrics used throughout the range are eco-friendly and innovative coming from wood, recycled plastic and organic cotton only to name a few. Even the packaging is not your average carton box, it is in fact made from grass, a material that uses considerably less water and produces far less CO2 than wood. To go more in depth of the beautiful work this brand is doing, we asked them directly to tell us.
The name Armedangels is for sure an evocative one, why did you pick it and what does it mean exactly? The name ARMEDANGELS pretty much sums up what we stand for. The name symbolizes a sort of „Robin Hood“ for the textile industry. An armed angel fighting against the injustices and conditions of an industry that needs revolutionary change… The brand was founded in 2007 with an initial range of printed t-shirt, fast forward eleven years Armedangels features a total look for women, men and kids. How did everything unfold? Did you plan from the start this kind of development? Back then, Martin (Founder and CEO) and his Co-Founder didn’t even necessarily want to go into fashion. In the beginning, T-Shirts were the only idea they felt confident in and that they would be able to realize. When they heard about the conditions in the textile industry and how hard it really is to get your hands on fairly produced T-Shirts from sustainable materials - they were shocked. This was the moment they decided to change the game and make a difference. In 2007 ARMEDANGELS was born. Today we can proudly call ourselves one of the biggest ECO & FAIR fashion labels in Europe. With a team of 80 people and four collections a year, we prove each day that sustainability and great product design do not exclude each other. When scrolling through your online shop “Detox” is a recurrent word. Can you explain what this means to you and why it is important when it comes to clothes? The textile industry is a dirty business. Denim is a dirty business. Almost 2 kg of chemicals are used to produce a pair of jeans the conventional way plus an average of 8,000 liters of water. These record-setting figures have a major impact on our environment – and on ourselves. That’s not an option for us. With our new denim campaign, we want to raise awareness and show that fashion can be done differently. Our solution: DetoxDenim.

The age of the
BODEGA BAGS By Nina Hanz
In New York City, almost every street has a bodega. Elsewhere, one might call them a corner store, but not in New York. Meaning ‘storeroom’ in Spanish, the neighbourhood businesses rose to popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, when daily runs to the bodega for groceries became a ritual. Remaining open long after normal supermarkets close, bodegas are still a symbol of New York – along with the bag of snacks and lottery tickets you can buy there.

These take-out bags have become such an iconic part of the New York lifestyle, that they are now being commemorated by fashion designers. This comes at an interesting time in fashion, one where more emphasis is put practicality, as seen with the trends celebrating athleisure, chunky sneakers and even kitten heels. It might not be the obvious style choice, but the plastic bodega bags seem to work for the corner
shop consumers, so why change what already works? This was precisely the idea behind the eponymous American handbag brand Gelareh Mizrahi, who made the ‘Thank You Bodega Bags’ in holographic, clear and python variations. The added benefit of these designer bodega bags is that they are a long listing and plastic-free alternative, while also sporting a more relaxed alternative to the conventional tote bag.
