Haikure - eco fashion

 

 

 

 

Haikure is at the cutting edge of fashion!! It is a true eco-fashion brand committed to ensuring the total sustainability of its collections and to making garments with the highest respect for nature and people. This also involves production processes and means suitable to minimize the environmental impact.

What I love about the brand is that consumers, thanks to the QR code placed on a label, can directly track any garment story and so verify its eco-sustainability through all production stages.

Tschagsalmaa Borchuu - Thos - Mongolian Fashion

One more post on Mongolia, one more post in black and white.
Today my attention was caught by THOS, which is an alternative fashion brand.
The designer comes from Mongolia where people believe in an ancient myth that you can charge your spirit and fortune by standing in the dust of famous horse races.
The first 2 pics represent Mongolian people wearing a simple pullover which is also worn by the model in the other images....
I love this adaptation of rural tradition into a modern and metropolitan style.
Tschagsalmaa Borchuu , as a brand strategist, chooses cashmere to tell the story and she does it to the level of exclusivity.

Mongolian Yurt Furniture

I do love to daydream about different places where to live. Mongolia is one of those (ok, maybe not for a long time, but why not??). I love the Mongolian Yurt and Mongolian furniture in general.

Traditional yurts consist of an expanding wooden circular frame carrying a felt cover. I like the idea that yurt is designed to be dismantled and the parts can be carried compactly on camels or yaks to be rebuilt on another site. The complete construction takes around 2 hours.

Isn't it amazing? it perfectly suits the nomadic styler I love...

Edo Alto- pics of beauty

I find these pics absolutely beautiful. They have been all taken by a young photographer Edo Alto, who travels during the fashion weeks to Milan and Paris and takes pictures of people who strike him the most

Almove, Shoulder Book Mark - just a great invention

Yesterday I went to MAMBO, which is the museum of modern art in Bologna and stopped for a while at the bookshop (I adore museums' bookshops).
The object which captured my attention the most was this one shoulder book mark designed by DDP Studio. DDP is made up of 3 young designers who make amazing and innovative objects with a great design.
This book carrier is fantastic for  physical books and magazines  especially if you want to walk around with your favorite volume ..
It is a great idea..isn't it? It's on sale for 22 euro at http://www.almove.it/en/prodotti/scheda_prodotto/segnalibro-da-passeggio
