Three answers from people who are working at the Key, the new international tradeshow for green fashion and sustainable lifestyle. It will open tomorrow in Berlin.

Why should people definitely visit the Key these upcoming 4 days?

Initiator ‘The Key’ Frans Prins: ‘We are not only representing eco fashion; we will present the new international movement. I like to work with designers who are committed to the world and have a creative design approach on sustainability. I prefer working with designers instead of already settled commercial brands because these designers think innovative, not always big in a commercial way but they create change we need.’

Curator Ingrid Horsselenberg, from Hiphonest, presenting the exhibition Beauty can save our world: ‘We will show that sustainability is not just a theme but more and more a natural starting point for shape and material concerning design. Our aim is to inspire the visitors. Sustainability will be most durable when you do it on your own way.’

Participating designer Marie Ilse Bourlanges : ‘People who visit the exhibition ‘Beauty can save our world’ will understand that fashion and design is something that affects us all. They will see that design can be sustainable in different ways and approaches and can have a deeper meaning.’

Visit TheKey @ Karl-Mary str. 97-99 12043 Berlin from 1 to 4 july during Berlin Fashion Week.

///HIPHONEST PRESENTS:

#Exhibition: Beauty can save our world.
#Project: Multiple Family
#Designer: Jetske de Groot

‘The important question every designer asks himself is this: what can I, with any sense of decency, contribute to the many things already available. I thought it was useful to give all the discarded, orphaned chairs in lofts and thrift shops a second chance.’

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
