While digital fashion is moving faster, physical fashion is slowing down. Helsinki Fashion Week showcases what slow fashion and craftsmanship can look like in our physical reality.

Spread the love

Helsinki Fashion Week will return to in-person fashion shows for its 2022 edition, focusing on craftsmanship and slow fashion. The future of sustainable fashion consists of valuing our resources and building new habits towards a circular economy while expressing ourselves more freely than ever.

赫尔辛基时装周将在2022年回归亲临现场的时装秀,重点关注手工艺和慢时尚。可持续时尚的未来包括珍惜我们的资源,建立新的习惯,实现循环经济,同时比以往更自由地表达自己。

By freeing ourselves from expectations, by redefining a must-have as something we actually need and by reconnecting with past ways of repairing and reusing, we are creating a frame for a sustainable future.

通过将我们自己从期望中解放出来,通过重新定义必须拥有的东西为我们真正需要的东西,通过重新连接过去的修复和再利用的方式,我们正在为可持续的未来创造一个框架。

You are not alone. The emotions of the brave Ukrainian during the war.

On August 5, during Helsinki Fashion Week the Ukrainian brand CHERESHNIVSKA presented a new sustainable collection 2402 dedicated to the recent experiences of their nation.

The images in the show, one by one, convey the state of a European person in whose home war has come. Europeans, because they are modern Ukrainians. The collection is a symbol of the emotional state of an entire nation that is desperately fighting for a normal life.

“First of all, I wanted to support everyone who is currently experiencing it and remind them that they are not alone in this “journey”. At the same time, we want to once again draw attention to the war in Ukraine. After all, art is also a weapon, – noted the designer of the brand Anastasiya Rozava, – The real experience of our team is daily air alarms and the unknown. We are gloomy, but with a fighting spirit, so the collection is flashy and bold.”

你并不孤单。战争期间勇敢的乌克兰人的情感。
8月5日,在赫尔辛基时装周期间,乌克兰品牌CHERESHNIVSKA展示了一个新的可持续发展系列2402,致力于讲述他们民族最近的经历。
秀场上的图片,一个接一个地传达了一个欧洲人的状态,在他的家里,战争已经到来。欧洲人,因为他们是现代乌克兰人。这个系列是整个民族为正常生活而拼命奋斗的情绪状态的象征。

“首先,我想支持目前正在经历的每一个人,提醒他们在这个 “旅程 “中并不孤单。同时,我们想再次引起对乌克兰战争的关注。毕竟,艺术也是一种武器,–该品牌的设计师Anastasiya Rozava指出,–我们团队的真实经历是每天的空气警报和未知。我们是阴郁的,但有战斗精神,所以这个系列是浮夸和大胆的”。


这一切都从脆弱和恐慌开始。深紫色、酒红色和橙色的服装开启了这个系列。接下来我们看到透明的面料和质地。这是一种突破,一种极限,一种赤裸裸的神经

7585’s new SS23 collection is called “Middle Voices”. Our new pieces for this collection will be featured at this year’s fashion weeks. We represent a transition from a pure “avant-garde” black aesthetic to that of exploratory designs inspired by flora, fauna and other non-human agents.

We developed our non anthropocentric stance through a series of conversations with various garments which we found and interviewed about their emotions, characteristics and life trajectories. We thought with Whitman, Bergson and Jane Bennett in forming this collection. 7585 is keeping with the avant-garde aesthetic, while incorporating a multitude of influences as we grow.

These influences are important to us in our process and help us take care when it comes to material selection, production and emotions we strive to evoke in our creations. The “Middle Voices’’ project includes poetry, music, video and photography where we explore future visions of our hyper consumption culture. The collection will include 7585 EAST line basic essentials in white, nude, black colors and 7585 WEST deconstructed upcycling one-of-a-kind garments.

这些影响对我们的过程非常重要,并帮助我们在材料选择、生产和销售方面加以注意。当涉及到材料选择、生产和我们努力在我们的创作中唤起的情感时,这些影响对我们很重要。中间的声音 “项目包括诗歌、音乐、视频和摄影,我们在其中探索我们的超级消费文化的未来愿景。该系列将包括7585 EAST线的白色、裸色、黑色的基本必需品和7585 WEST的解构升级改造的独一无二的服装。

Helsinki Fashion Week Designer of the Year Jean Gritsfeldt: “My dreams are 10 years old” A special jubilee fashion show of Jean Gritsfeldt will take place in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, on August 6.

After Jean Gritsfeldt’s sensational show in Berlin, which was one of the first messages of Ukraine in the world since the full-scale invasion of russia, the Ukrainian fashion designer was invited to Finland. “It is a great honor for me to become the designer of the year according to the version of Helsinki Fashion Week. Especially now, when every famous Ukrainian is an ambassador of freedom and independence in the world and whose mission is to draw attention to important topics,” says Jean Gritsfeldt.

At Helsinki Fashion Week, Jean Gritsfeldt will present a reminiscence collection dedicated to the 10th anniversary of his life’s work. On the Scandinavian catwalk, there will be showcased time-tested hits from all the designer’s collections over the 10 years of the Jean Gritsfeldt brand. “It is impossible to take a step forward without rethinking the past. It is a bridge to the future or, as I call it, the transformation of youth, – comments Jean Gritsfeldt. — Ten years ago and today, my work is permeated with the same ideas: thoughts and dreams about love, struggle and freedom — in art, desires, self-expression.

About finding yourself and faith in tomorrow.” The Helsinki Fashion Week show will also feature Jean Gritsfeldt’s work after February 24, 2022, a turning point in the history of his Motherland. The Ukrainian designer’s performance will end with a rally charting the paths of the future: the podium will be filled with people with posters “Free people must stand together”, “Ukraine is the shield of Europe”, “Stay proud, stay ready”, “My life — my rules”, “ United in love, united in fight”, “Bigger then fear”, “We are fighting for our land and for the values of the entire independent world”, “What’s next?”, “How many more Davids must be born to finally destroy Goliath?”.

Every performance by Jean Gritsfeldt fulfills a certain mission, and this time the designer presents a capsule collection of shopping bags with slogans in support of Ukraine, which has been under daily enemy attacks from russia for more than 5 months. The charity capsule was created in collaboration with the Shpyg Foundation — the Fedor Shpyg Foundation, which has been supporting the development of culture, science and sports in Ukraine for more than 20 years.

50% of the funds from the sale of patriotic shoppers of the Jean Gritsfeldt brand will be donated to the Foundation for the restoration and construction of children’s cultural and art institutions, which were destroyed throughout Ukraine during the russian terrorist attacks. In addition, the Shpyg Foundation will donate bags to its Foundation donors. You can read more about the Foundation’s activities on the website shpyg.foundation.

赫尔辛基时装周年度设计师Jean Gritsfeldt:”我的梦想是10岁” Jean Gritsfeldt的特别庆典时装秀将于8月6日在芬兰首都赫尔辛基举行。在Jean Gritsfeldt在柏林举行的轰动性秀场之后,这是乌克兰在俄罗斯全面入侵后在世界范围内发出的第一批信息之一,这位乌克兰时装设计师受邀来到芬兰。”根据赫尔辛基时装周的版本,能够成为年度设计师,对我来说是一个巨大的荣誉。特别是现在,每一个著名的乌克兰人都是世界上自由和独立的大使,他们的使命是引起人们对重要话题的关注,”让-格里茨菲尔德说。
在赫尔辛基时装周上,Jean Gritsfeldt将展示一个追忆系列,献给他一生的工作10周年。在斯堪的纳维亚的T台上,将展示Jean Gritsfeldt品牌10年来的所有设计师系列中久经考验的作品。”不重新思考过去,就不可能向前迈出一步。这是一座通向未来的桥梁,或者正如我所说的,青春的转变, – Jean Gritsfeldt评论道。- 十年前和今天,我的作品都渗透着同样的想法:关于爱、斗争和自由的想法和梦想–在艺术、欲望、自我表达中。 关于寻找自我和对明天的信心”。赫尔辛基时装周的表演还将展示让-格里茨菲尔德在2022年2月24日之后的作品,这是祖国历史上的一个转折点。这位乌克兰设计师的表演将以一个描绘未来道路的集会结束。

未来的道路:主席台上将挤满了贴着海报的人,”自由的人民必须站在一起”,”乌克兰是欧洲的盾牌”,”保持骄傲,保持准备”,”我的生活 – 我的规则”,”团结的爱,团结的战斗”,”比恐惧更大”,”我们正在为我们的土地和整个独立世界的价值而战”,”接下来是什么?”,”必须再诞生多少个达维尔才能最终摧毁歌利亚?” 。
Jean Gritsfeldt的每一次表演都是为了完成某种使命,而这一次,这位设计师推出了一个带有支持乌克兰口号的购物袋胶囊系列,5个多月来,乌克兰每天都受到来自俄罗斯敌人的攻击。这个慈善胶囊是与Shpyg基金会–Fedor Shpyg基金会合作创建的,该基金会20多年来一直支持乌克兰的文化、科学和体育发展。
销售Jean Gritsfeldt品牌的爱国主义购物袋的50%资金将捐给该基金会,用于修复和建设儿童文化艺术机构,这些机构在俄罗斯恐怖袭击期间在乌克兰各地被摧毁。此外,Shpyg基金会将向其基金会捐赠者捐赠袋子。你可以在网站shpyg.foundation上阅读更多关于基金会的活动。

The brand’s philosophy is to create a one-of-a-kind wearable art to represent the relationship between art and fashion that once existed in the past, bringing them back to life in an artistic and meaningful way by merging vintage items with new future technology. Each item is a unique and timeless style that can be displayed in both the real and virtual worlds.

All Only One On Planets, in other words, OOOPS physical items have been created under upcycling, slow fashion, zero waste, circular economy, and sustainable concepts. All items have been carefully crafted and transformed for their new chapter telling new stories in the physical, digital, and virtual world.

We added more value to each piece for the future of digital and virtual worlds by creating OOOPS NFTs. We believe that fashion is one form of art and as we move into the digital age we can now give more meaning and personality to our fashion items digitally through their own individual nfts. We use each physical item from our project to create NFTs. As each clothing item was made with the intention of being rare and one of a kind, we can now express our individual uniqueness through a custom individual nft. And just as there will only exist one physical piece in our real world, there will also only exist one nft for the piece in the digital world.

Moreover, we plan to create some fun and playful experience by applying Augmented Reality to all physical items in near future.

Each item is unique and the only one piece on the planet.

Only One On Planets has been created for everyone who loves unique art and fashion. Who dares to stand out and wants to experience the NFTs, Augmented Reality, and virtual world concepts.

该品牌的理念是创造一种独一无二的可穿戴艺术,以代表过去曾经存在的艺术和时尚之间的关系,通过合并复古物品和未来新技术,使它们以一种艺术和有意义的方式重获新生。每件物品都是独特而永恒的风格,可以在现实和虚拟世界中展示。所有Only One On Planets,换句话说,OOOPS实体物品都是在升级再造、慢时尚、零浪费、循环经济和可持续发展的概念下创造的。所有物品都经过精心制作和改造,在实体、数字和虚拟世界中讲述新的故事。
我们通过创建OOOPS NFTs,为每件作品增加了更多的价值,以适应未来的数字和虚拟世界。我们相信,时尚是艺术的一种形式,随着我们进入数字时代,我们现在可以通过自己的个人NFT,以数字方式赋予时尚物品更多的意义和个性。我们使用我们项目中的每一件实物来创建NFTs。由于每个服装项目都是以稀有和独一无二为目的,我们现在可以通过定制的个人NFT来表达我们的个人独特性。就像在我们的现实世界中只存在一件实物一样,在数字世界中也将只存在一件NFT。此外,我们计划在不久的将来通过将增强现实技术应用于所有实物项目来创造一些有趣和好玩的体验。
每件物品都是独一无二的,并且是地球上唯一的一件。
Only One On Planets是为每一个热爱独特艺术和时尚的人创造的。敢于脱颖而出并想体验NFTs、增强现实和虚拟世界概念的人。

BOIE&BILL by Ellisha Boie, is a fashion brand based in Accra, Ghana.

Ellisha Boie is the winner of the European Union in Ghana Climate Week 2020 photo competition, Access bank award of sustainability, nominee for The Future Awards Africa 2018, Africa Youth Choice awards 2016, and winner of Brand of the year for the maiden edition of the Ghana Tertiary fashion awards, with numerous appearances in the national newspapers and numerous television interviews.

In 2019, the fashion brand started a unique approach to campaign for a greener planet, sustainable development and sustainable living through upcycling and sustainable fashion in Ghanaian communities, to prevent and put to use plastics discarded in the markets and second hand clothing imported into the country and dumped in landfills from engulfing our environment and seas.

A major problem in the country.

The brand’s upcycled clothing collection is made up from plastic waste picked up from the busy markets of Accra, Ghana as well as second hand clothes that the team handpicks from the often dumped clothes in the markets in Accra.

Other items are also upcycled to add up to the design, including broken mirror/glass pieces, fabric and plastic scraps etc.

By combining all these items the brand creates an innovative clothing line made up of rain coats and jackets which they donate during the rainy season, as well as tie/dyed second hand jackets, sweatshirts, jeans trousers and more.

All these are efforts to promote and campaign and draw attention to the idea of upcycling and sustainable fashion in Ghana and Africa as a whole, an approach which after its launch has received wild praise, patronage and recognition.
