Casa e Cose

From Nygards Anna…please visit her website for more stunning photos of her current collection. I love the warm tones, the scrached photos, the untamed beauty.

Just came from a wonderfull afternoon spent with friends from my sons school. Kids playing, adults chatting and drinking a little bit of cava in a absolutly stunning apartment…wish i could show you! Anyhow was browsing a little bit now that Samu went to bed exusted and got to know the LAVUK collection from sunny Californa.

I just found out about this amazingly skilled fashion designer Isabell. She makes art with cloth and thread.

The designer tries to raise the importance of the traditional values of the Romanias craftsmanship, that has begun to fade out. Her aim is to support these highly skilled craftsmen by publicising and utilising their cultural skills in a way that hasnt been done before. The collection Miscelánea combines recycled Romanian materials like old folkloric table cloths and headscarfs with modern tailoring and cut. All integrated materials are out of natural fibers. Please visit her website for more info.

From ELEMENTUM comes this fun and inspiring video of how one single piece of clothing can be worn in 6 or maybe 7 different ways. Beautifull and creative work in its simplest form. Love it!

Canadian WW eco fashion brand is out with their new fall collection…and with that paper dolls designed by Dallas Shaw. I adore DACE!

The organic fashion label EDUN founded by Ali Hewson and Bono has such a fantastic new collection. Take a look at their lookbook here. I really really adore the fact that so many fashion brands are now 100% organic and that I can actually shop with a smile on my face.

Det ekologiska modemarket EDUN som startedes av Ali Hewson och Bono har en super snygg och frash ny kollektion. Kolla in deras lookbook har. Jag tycker det ar sa sa sa bra att sa manga modemarken som jag tycker om nu bara anvander 100% organiska tyger -da kan jag ju shoppa med ett leende pa lapparna!

What Jess sais from Melbourne based fashion label BHALO, a fair trade design company:

Thanks for your interest in Bhalo!

Bhalo works with a fair trade producer in rural Bangladesh called Thanapara Swallows whos women workers hand loom and hand embroider our cotton and silks. Unfortunately our producer has not yet obtained the official organic certification, however we can say that they are in the process of getting certified and working hard to convert the whole village to organic farming. It is a challenge however to convince farmers to switch over, as it requires education and the first few harvests are generally pretty poor, and many of these farmers are struggling to make a living already. Because of this certification issue they have lost a few potential buyers, however we have decided to stick with them while they develop, and prevent workers from losing jobs and becoming even more marginalized.  It definitely helps to have financial assistance from abroad while they set up the process.

I adore the grey dress with the abstract print. So easy and you can wear it 24 hours. Just add some accessories and your ready for the night! Please visit Bhalo on-line shop and there informative and happy blog.

From luxury knit wear company LUTZ & PATMOS…so very expensive but oh so nice!

Sa dyrt men gud vad allt ar fint hos market LUTZ & PATMOS som nu har utokat sin stick kollektion med ekologisk  bomull.

Supermodel Liya Kebede started LemLem in 2007 as a way to inspire economic independence in her native country and to preserve the art of weaving.
