BENEFITS of CHANGE

The world, nations and societies have always been in a process of change. Culture and conventions have changed, bans have been abolished and new paradigms have defined the rules of coexistence. Fashion is the medium that reflects these transformations. Today, change is more necessary than ever. And should it not develop faster than ever before, when the environment, values and new rules of coexistence are at stake?

How can fashion reconfigure the setting of your life?

It is time for BENEFITS of CHANGE!

Show us how fashion translates BENEFITS of CHANGE. How can fashion reconfigure the setting of your life?

Choose your favorite category:

  • Category 1: Create your Revolution (If you want to change the world, start with yourself. With what you wear individually on the body, you set new priorities. Create your own fashion revolution, because every revolution has had humble beginnings.)
  • Category 2: Explore Cradle to Cradle (Cradle to cradle – creating cycles – is the philosophy of our time. Create something new from something that exists already. Integrate the used material, object or fabric and let it tell its story.)
  • Category 3: Dream your Dreams (Duality – who says that reality and fantasy are separate worlds? Accept parallel spaces and many realities that are still unconscious. Where do we feel more than we know? This is your playground for the unthought, the unseen and whatever exists “only” in your fantasy. Let enchantment become a mode in which the change and its benefits and our ideas of a better world are already visible.)
