///FASHION REPORT BERLIN

glore3

During Berlin Fashion Week 2009, which took place last June, Pop Up Shop GlORE opened her doors in the stylish neighborhood Mitte. GLORE is already steady based as a total store concept in Nürnberg and München and as an online store. Pop up GLORE likes to team up with other stores and just move in for a couple of months. GLORE brings in great Hiphonest labels, a folding interior and hopefully another nice opening party with organic drinks.

Store Owner Bernd Hausmann: ‘Thanks to Annouk from Hiphonest and Kim from Ecofashionworld (both as well founders of pop-up  YOIstore) I was really inspired to open my own conceptstore.’ Thanks Bernd, ‘Das tut mir leid!’

GUYS GO SHOPPING!

GLOBAL HIPHONEST CITIZINS

Besides an awesome collection of Hiphonest labels GLORE invited their international network of people working in sustainable fashion. Look who showed up, not on a red carpet but just in the streets.

YOI

Second Sight

Nominated for Trendwatcher Sustainability 2010. Very proud to make it to the final!

My vision on the world; by YOI:

YOI

YOI:

'The deeper meaning behind this blog goes back to my personal vision on the world: 'YOI:'

YOI: is based on the ‘bigger picture’ in which we are on our way to a more beautiful and balanced world wherein sustainable thinking, design, fashion, people and business will make the difference.

In terms of the massive and dramatic environmental/ economic crisis that we are facing, this change is absolutely needed.

Basically the essence of this ‘awareness movement’ takes place in the being and hearts of optimistic but critical thinking people.

To define this particular mind shift I gave this the name/brand ‘YOI:’ As it stands therefore, ‘We’ as human beings are in a conscious global transition.' by Annouk Post
