]]> The fashion industry is undergoing a revolution for good. Researchers are investigating and inventing new raw materials. The complete cycle of clothes production is being rethought from “Cradle to Cradle”, with all the elements being taken into consideration: Materials, Water, Energy, Economy and Lives. Fashion for Good has established partnerships with various designers to shine a light on ways the fashion industry can be more sustainable for the producers, the designers, the workers, and consumers.

October 10th, 2019 Fashion for Good hosted an event at their museum in Amsterdam to show off the latest collection by Tess van Zalinge, and the work by Silfir. Van Zalinge’s collection “Fifteen” was “Sparked from a dissatisfaction with the way the wedding industry currently operates, I felt the need to create awareness in this market, where the focus is on beauty for ‘one-day-only’.”

Tess’ signature is clearly present in this collection: body-conscious silhouettes, layering and the use of various crafts such as patchwork, laser cutting, folding and embroidery. Inspired by fifteen wedding traditions every look is an ode to one of these forgotten traditions; pearls, bianca jagger, underwear, queen victoria, blue, cake, white, black, veils, herbs & grains, costume wear, getaway suit, intimates, tulips and upcycling. She takes fashionable heritage as a starting point to tell the story of symbolism, emotion and authenticity behind a marriage.

Hannah Kromminga travelled by train from Berlin to attend the event showcasing Silfir’s extensive work, specifically the Soft Workwear Uniform. This company spent years researching what people wear, to then create a limited selection of long-lasting garments that people can interchange to have a complete and diverse wardrobe. They have implemented changes in every step of the production process: Raw Material Production, Production and Processing of Fibers, Transportation and Retailing, Use, Re-Use, Repair and Recycle. The whole process is called the “Silfir Circularity Concept.”

Two weeks ago, I was asked by the New York Times to cover a photo shoot about Tigre, a town about an hour north of Buenos Aires. I jumped at the chance and spent the weekend covering a range of subjects and meeting some very interesting people. The article was written by Michael Luongo, who I look forward to catching up with upon my return from the states later in December. This was my first commission from them and I hope more will follow (but my second time being published in the paper).
