Sustainable Scandinavia: To bring awareness to the fashion issues and solutions that already exist

Sustainable Scandinavia: To bring awareness to the fashion issues and solutions that already exist

Sustainable Scandinavia was created to bring awareness to the issues of the fashion industry but also to the solutions that already exist. And because the founders live in Denmark, they wanted to shine a light on the initiatives that exist there first. Hence, the name “Sustainable Scandinavia”.

Kazi Purba, the Founder and President of Fashionnovation contacted with Yulia Motrenko, a former cell biologist and a part of a research group at Harvard Medical School, who is currently following her passion for fashion through ‘Sustainable Scandinavia’. Kazi Purba tried to delve into the activities of this beautiful initiative of Yulia Motrenko and her team by asking the following questions.

Tell us something about you and your blog. Why is it called Sustainable Scandinavia?

Sustainable Scandinavia is not just a regular Instagram blog with beautiful pictures of stylish women and fancy clothes. Our goal is not to persuade you to buy more – it is the opposite. We want you to buy less, and thoughtfully choose every piece with the same care you would use to choose a company to invest in.

Sustainable Scandinavia was created to bring awareness to the issues of the fashion industry but also to the solutions that already exist. We believe that if people have the right information, they can make the right decisions – whether that is in producing or buying clothes. We want to share what we learn every day and give our followers well-researched but digestible information on different sustainability topics in fashion to inspire them to reconsider their habits in regard to fashion.

Then, we want to fight the idea that sustainable fashion is just “baggy cotton clothes of earthy colours”. We are convinced it is possible to be stylish, love fashion, and protect the planet. It is a whole beautiful world we want to explore together.

And because we live here in Denmark, we wanted to shine a light on the initiatives that exist here first. Hence, the name “Sustainable Scandinavia”.

So, if you’re interested in discovering new young and established brands and learning more about their unique stories and visions, come join us!

What’s the story behind your initiative? What motivated you to establish that?

I started my career as a cell biologist and for a long time, I was planning to work as a researcher in a scientific laboratory. When I finally achieved my goal and became a part of a research group at Harvard Medical School, I realised I did not enjoy it. I moved to Copenhagen and decided to follow my passion for fashion.

Fashion was always a big part of my life but I was always too scared to pursue it as a career. But here in Copenhagen, I made two friends who share my passion for style and fashion. However, this is not the only thing that binds us – we share a hope for a better future for the fashion industry. And after spending a lot of time reading, talking and learning about sustainability in fashion, we just could not keep silent anymore. So we started Sustainable Scandinavia.

Greta Thunberg warned us – our home is on fire.

And while some people think that this is about protecting nature or preserving biodiversity for the sake of the planet – it is not. It is for the sake of our own future, the future of humanity on Earth. And if we want our nature to stay as diverse, beautiful, and good to us in a decade from now, we have to take action today.

Most people don’t think about the fact that just by excessively buying new clothes we are contributing to the world-scale disaster. And in order to realise why it happens like this, we need to think about fashion production and consumption. Think about everything – the process of growing crops, weaving yarns and fabrics, dyeing them, sewing clothes, packing them into tons of plastic, and transporting them using planes and trucks. There are so many elements in the fashion supply chain, so many processes lying behind every T-shirt and every pair of jeans we wear. And each of them leaves a footprint on the environment.

What is sustainability according to your viewpoint? Can we really assure a sustainable future of fashion?

Sustainability has become a big buzzword these days. And of course, there is no such thing as “100% sustainable”, production and consumption always have an impact on the earth, our society, and ourselves. But we can decide whether our impact should be positive or negative.

So for us, Sustainability in fashion is about making the decisions that have a positive impact and help redistribute value – giving back to the people that make the clothes we love and wear every day, and the planet that gives us the resources to make them. Because if we don’t, soon enough the earth and people will have nothing more to share.

In the end, the current fashion system leaves all of us feeling anxious, sad and powerless. The clothes we buy don’t look appealing and come out of a trend just after one season, reminding us that we’ve spent money for a very low value. It’s time to change that.

We need to understand that sustainability is not an option, it is the only way forward.

4. Do you have any plan to launch any sustainable product?

 

We are working hard now on releasing a multi-brand platform for Scandinavian sustainable fashion brands. It is our dream to gather small-scale brands that approach their production consciously and with care for the environment, and help them reach the right audience and grow.

At the same time, we want to take responsibility for educating people on matters of ethical fashion and convince them to choose local artisans and businesses over mass market stores.

The platform will allow guests to find brands according to their interest in sustainability and be sure that they are thoroughly examined by our team. Brands will be checked for ethical work conditions for their employees/in their supply chains, source of materials they use, logistics and biodegradability of final products.

And, as we believe that sustainable fashion is not only about unisex clothes in organic cotton (there are plenty of other fabrics!), we will ensure that customers have access to different styles and models. Apart from clothes, customers will also find accessories, bags, shoes and jewellery – all ethically made and with minimal harm to the planet.

We want it to become a perfect place for the sustainable fashionista to shop and we are putting a maximum of effort into making it real.

What are your future plans with your platform?

In the future, we plan to scale up and expand to other social media platforms – Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube. We want to promote sustainable fashion in many different ways and visual storytelling has a big place in our mission.

We are going to create even more exciting content, including interviews with CEOs of brands, educational materials on certificates and fabrics, fresh news on the sustainable side of fashion and much more.

Our aim is to create a community of like-minded people who can change the future of the fashion industry together. And we are calling you to become a member of this community right now ❤️

Mari Michel: A Brand That Rescues Silk From Second Hand Men’s Ties and Turns Them Into Unique Accessories

Mari Michel: A Brand That Rescues Silk From Second Hand Men’s Ties and Turns Them Into Unique Accessories

Mari Michel, an elegant sustainable brand, founded in 2020 by Mari Michelson has a unique story to tell the world. Guided by the sense of beauty embedded in natural materials and with a mindset aimed towards sustainability, this brand uses silk from second hand mens ties and turn them into Fair Hair Ties. Today Kazi Purba, the Founder of Fashionnovation, takes the pride to introduce you with one of the most unique brands that we have covered till now! Let’s hear from Mari Michelson’s journey towards sustianability with her brand.

Ms. Mari Michel, you have a very unique story. Please tell us something about yourself.

I was born in the 90s in a small country of a million people in Northern Europe, just a few years after the independence from the Soviet Union. The resources at the time, in Estonia, were scarce – priority was on importing the necessities. The clothes were very basic and there was not much of a choice. If you wanted something special, you had to make it yourself. That scarcity sparked creativity and showed an abundance of materials, which I took advantage of by upcycling them to one-of-a-kind garment pieces.

In our countryside house, we had a cabinet full of old Burda magazines from a grandmother, that I had never met. These were filled with silhouettes and colour combinations, that looked vintage and out of the ordinary. I would trace some of these silhouettes into my fashion folder and exaggerate the form and some of the features in order to play around and make my own designs out of it. It was through books and magazines that I discovered a lady, that perhaps, has influenced my understanding of fashion the most – Vivienne Westwood, of course. For me, I could relate to the rebelliousness, outrageous ideas, inventiveness, and diverging from the norm, that she so much represented.

At 16 and inspired, I moved to England alone to study Fashion Design. It was there, that I saw the mass production side of the business for the first time and became disillusioned about the sustainability factor in the garment business. I started feeling like it was not a place I wanted to contribute to. So I went on to leave fashion behind and enter a new career in business and software.

In 2020, things changed. With pandemic allowing more time to revaluate what I really want to do in this world, I made the decision, to really go for my dream – but this time, on my own terms. I decided not to become a fashion designer, where trends change with every season, but sustainable apparel and accessories designer, where quality matters and not quantity.

What is the story behind your brand?

Mari Michel was born at the end of 2020 in the Netherlands, but the ideas for it had been accumulating for a lifetime.

The first product grew out of an idea of using men’s silk ties as a material to create expressive hair accessories. These accessories are called Fair Hair Ties.

The metaphor for Fair Hair Ties comes from my own personal experience – I came out of the office where I worked as a software engineer, to follow my passion of designing sustainable apparel & accessories that give people a tool to express themselves.

The office environment is very standard, white and concrete, empty of expression – traditionally not a place one would feel free to show one’s true self. We have gradually been moving out of the cooperate style in the business environment, when I look around, I can rarely spot a man wearing a suit and tie for work. Our societal understanding has been changing a lot, especially in the past two pandemic years.

I find it very important, that no matter the environment, you should always be able to express yourself. For me that goes very deep into the core – to my scientific high school, I used to sport a Little Prince costume with a briefcase in hand, where Jimi Hendrix’s face was painted on.

Clothing & accessories is a great way of expressing yourself. Often even therapeutic, because what you put out can sometimes help you to gain confidence inside. Mari Michel is all about giving tools for self-expression! That’s why we even use the phrase ’Express Yourself’ as our slogan.

What motivated you to establish that?

I feel very strongly about already produced high-quality materials that are constantly being discarded in the world of consumerism, f.e. silk, fur, linen, leather. Natural materials that take a lot of resources to produce, but when produced, have a very short lifespan because the item they have been produced into goes out of fashion.

The first material that I chose for my current designs, is silk. I chose silk because I love it. There simply is no other material with comparable beauty & health benefits. I feel it is my mission to design tools for people to express themselves, that are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also sustainable and healthy.

What’s your product range?

At this point, we are focused on silk from men’s ties.
We make Fair Hair Ties, which are both hair accessories and bracelets in three different designs with unlimited colours and patterns, each one unique.

Our most recent product is the Ohov cap – a hat made fully from silk fabric. Each cap is unique. The pattern and colour combination make each a true statement piece.

Mari Michel's signature Ohov cap made of silk from ties. Photo courtesy: Mari Michelson.

The design of the Ohov cap is paying homage to the original baker boy cap. Baker boy cap origins go all the way to the 16th century, where Queen Elizabeth I of England sought to stimulate the Irish and English wool trade, by passing an act obliging males over six years of age (except for nobility and persons of degree) to wear caps of wool. This law further established the cap as a staple of Irish/English working-class clothing culture.

By making it from silk, which is a premium fabric, and making it a colourful unisex statement piece, we are contradicting the idea of its origins.

We also offer a style guidance service, where I help people to find their authentic style in one-on-one sessions.

What special do you offer to your customers through your brand?

All the materials that we use, have been transformed from one item to another, but the story stays, the feeling remains, the soul is still in the object.

These items have a sense of character.

Wearing it is special.

You really buy a piece that is just for you.

Every customer is special, and they get their special item.

And I never make anything that is standard. I am always looking for something new, a twist on things. I look for inspiration for the future from the past. Having something old, that has been stitched into the fabric of our culture, is something we have relied on, it is comfortable and gives a certain emotion to people. What I like to do, is to take a part of it and transform it into a new concept.

Does your brand care about environment and sustainability? How are you promoting sustainability with your works?

Before I went to study fashion, I never questioned myself about making sustainable choices. I was lucky to be brought up in a family that had a reasonably sustainable lifestyle and in a culture, where feeling being part of nature was immensely integrated into society. I thought that everybody takes care of nature as it would be of their own family member. When I went abroad for the first time and got to have a closer observation of the global fashion industry, I saw that sustainability in fashion is far from ‘of course’. The leverage was on profit.

I think profit should never be leading to anything we do as people.

The real energy behind projects comes from mission and passion.

Our mission at Mari Michel is to make expressive accessories and apparel with sustainability as an underlying value in everything we do. We re-use high-quality natural materials, that have a long lifespan. Every item we produce is unique, which is one of the most sustainable ways of production. There is no surplus of materials or products that go to waste. Our production is based in Europe, we offer our products at fair prices and hold transparency as a key value in communication.

What are your future plans with your brand?

Expanding on our current concept and adding more products from sustainable silk. Even more so, we want to move onto new materials – there are a lot of other discarded materials, that we have been developing ideas about.

We are curious about modern materials that are fully compostable and are open to collaborations in this area.

The next phase is going from accessories to apparel collections.

It is important for us to interact with the community, which is why are making stories that are relevant in today’s fashion industry and will be continuously giving out new topics to discuss with a humorous undertone.

The goal is to keep creative juices flowing and not to be overly fixated on predicting the future, rather let our values and passion drive us.

Lili: A Sustainable Brand for Upcycled Jewelry

If you want to know about M&L Creative, the Number One Choice for Sustainable Brands, you can read it here!Griselda is the founder of lili, a brand of upcycled jewelry that invents unique pieces reusing discarded jewelry materials based in New York. Today along with Kazi Purba, we will explore the initiatives of Auda and her plans with lili in Fashionnovation’s exclusive interview.

Ms. Griselda, please tell us something about yourself.

My name is Griselda. I was born and raised in Honduras. I’ve been living in Ithaca, New York for 5 years.

I am a content creator for Slow Fashion Movement (@slowfashion.movment) and the team leader for the LATAM local group (@slowfashionlatam) which is part of Slow Fashion Movement.

We have 20 local groups around the world!

Also, I have a platform on Instagram to help raise awareness about the negative impacts of the fashion industry ( @responsible_forwardfashion)

Starting a new life in another country is not easy — at least it hasn’t been for me. Being away from my family and friends is undoubtedly the most difficult thing. And then, leaving my job and starting a new life ….

I can barely describe in words how important lili is for me, as my first entrepreneurial venture. I am filled with hope, enthusiasm, and excitement!

What’s the story behind your brand ‘lili’? What drove you to establish it?

When I discovered the negative and destructive impact of the fashion industry, I decided to create a platform to help raise awareness about sustainable fashion. With this platform, the idea of ​​lili was born: a brand of upcycled jewelry that invents unique pieces reusing discarded jewelry materials. By bringing unused pieces to life again, we lengthen the life cycle of materials and prevent them from ending up in landfills.

I also want to create jewelry from scratch, with materials that I find in second-hand stores or with vintage components. In this way, I can create my own designs and be able to grow!

Creative and sustainable products of lili.

I have always loved jewelry. A good friend taught me basic skills, and since then I have been learning on my own. Up until a few months ago I have done it just for myself, or to give as gifts, but now I am doing it with purpose, to help the planet!

What’s your product range?

As a jewelry lover, I adapt repurposed materials in earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and bookmarks!

I just follow my muse when it comes…!

Since it’s an upcycled brand, every piece is unique. For example, my first collection was made with materials that I had on hand, with beads from jewelry that I no longer wore.

Recently I got a donation of unwanted jewelry. I can’t wait to upcycle them!

What is something special you offer to your customers through your brand?

With my brand, I try to inspire others to consider giving a second life to their things, while looking good, and feeling good with unique pieces. My aim is to REPURPOSE & RELOVE!

How are you promoting sustainability with your work?

Of course, environment and social impact are the core values of my brand!

Fashion is one of the least regulated industries globally. It has an enormous climate, labor, and material impact. I aim to increase awareness and conscious consumption through my brand.

I believe that the fashion industry needs far-reaching systemic change in order to tackle poverty, inequality and environmental degradation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What are your future plans for your brand?

I am working on a business plan. For now I am on Instagram, Facebook, Depot, and Poshmark. But I hope to open an Etsy shop in the near future.
