  • The future is biodegradable

    There’s a strong focus on making fashion clothes more sustainable with a longer lifespan. But what happens if you turn the argument around? Can throwaway fashion become the greenest alternative, if it’s made in biodegradable material?

  • Size Zero

    When hipsters become parents, they not only leaven their own cabbage. It also happens that they create interesting children’s design in GOTS certified cotton. Meet the micro fashion designers, kiddy fashion’s own sourdough bakers.

  • Great Escapism

    Would it be possible to leave Facebook and throw away the key? Where are all the savages and clowns? Carl Fredrik Holtermann has grown weary of the whitewashed design world of today and yearns for an escape, like Houdini out of his straitjacket.
