    FAIRLIEBT…not just a “word game”

    fairliebt_spring_summer_2009_2.jpg

    Mathias Ahrberg and Wiebke Hövelmeyer are two creative fashion designers from Hamburg, Germany, who are in  love with fair and they love to be fair! So, they created a fair fashion label, the Fairliebt .

    We loved their fair t-shirts made by organic cotton, but also their new collection for spring-summer 2009 . Colours, pop-art and retro designs, artistic mood, sexy lines, elegant forms turn the fair organic cotton textiles to a playful fashion fair!!!

    Nightmare Before Valentine

    nightmare_before_valentine.jpgNightmare Before Valentine ” is a dance group from Berlin that likes to play with toys, flowers, chairs, even candy’ wrappings, creating scenes that refer to another dimension, parallele to this of reality, the dream world.


    We were there in their last performance, named “Lilo’s Lido” and we enjoyed the theatricality of the dancers, the alive scenography that was giving the opportunity to each part of the scene to have an active role, the immediacy towards the audience, the postmodern like of choroegraphy, the powerful, moving and expressive music and  last but not least, the costumes made by Cecilia Palmer , founder and designer of Pamoyo label.


    Good job girls!

    Green Bride

    blushless_fall_2009.jpgSo, you decided to get married!
    And you need a wedding dress! A special one!

    Mmm, we have something in mind! It is called Blushless and you can find it in Berlin.

    But what is so special with this wedding dresses brand?
    Well, apart from the contemporary design, which gives a unique, expressive character to the dress and to the bride, the really outstanding part is that it is made by finest eco-friendly materials.

    A “green” wedding dress!
    Isn’t that special?

    Berlin loves Graffiti

     graffiti_house.jpg

    While you are browsing around Berlin, one of the most common things that you can see is walls with graffitis. Professional or amateur, beautiful or ugly, artistic or just splashes on the wall, meaningful or not. They are there, standing in front of your eyes, provoking your thoughts, showing to you that they exist and you can’t ignore them.

    You shouldn’t ignore them, anyway. They are part of this city’s popular culture . They are formed by Berlin’s culture and the same time they form it.

    And yes, I will agree with the british guys who took that image at left in Berlin (http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/aharfield/gallery/berlin/) that Berliners love graffiti. And how could be possible not to, after experiencing the fascistic, cold, grey Wall that cut this wonderful place in two pieces? 

    Check…if you like…the video about graffiti world in Kreuzberg, Berlin in the link http://www.mindfood.com/at-graffiti-art-berlin-germany-walls-streets-culture.seo

    A "Brick Wall", a "Wired Wall",

    a "Graffiti Wall" is better.

    Education for Sustainable Development

     
    copyright_by_unesco__martin_bobic.jpg

    The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a decade program (2005-2014) led by UNESCO and held in Germany. The ESD means (obtained by BNE-Portal: Education for Sustainable Development ) "education that enables people to foresee, face up and solve problems that threaten the life on our planet  It also signifies education that disseminates the values and principles
    that are the basis of sustainable development (intergenerational
    equity, gender parity, social tolerance, poverty reduction,
    environmental protection and restoration, natural resource
    conservation, and just and peaceful societies). Lastly, it means
    education that highlights the complexity and interdependence of three
    spheres, the environment, society – broadly defined to include culture
    – and the economy".

    Considering education as the core of human’s mentality formation, we applaud and promote this kind of initiatives.

    The planet belongs to the next generations, so our children should learn to respect and take care of it.
