The guys from Civilist Berlin just did it all right – and Mr. Jon Warren thinks the same. And I bet you will too if you should drop by one day to check their collections of aNYthing, HUF, DQM, Girl, Nike SB, Norse, PAM, Ransom, Vans Syndicate, vintage Supreme and tons of rare books and magazines about the greatest city in the world and contemporary culture in general.

In an industry as large as fashion, it remains difficult to know the conditions of many production facilities. That’s where the labor conditions group Fair Wear Foundation comes in. The Amsterdam-based nonprofit aims to fully expose the manufacturing process with a verification system to ensure that garments are made under sustainable working environments. As a multi-stakeholder initiative, they work to get corporate and textile associations, trade unions and non-governmental associations on board too.

With ten years already under their belt, FWF represents many fashion brands from Acne and Mammut to Cheap Monday and Nudie Jeans. Today the foundation inspects 1,000-plus factories that manufacture garments for 50 labels, helping reassure consumers that, from China to Turkey, fair labor standards are met.

You can download their 2009 annual report here.

Today at Torstrasse, starting at 2 pm. Bring a lifejacket.

Update: The party will take place tomorrow Sunday, May 16 since better weather is expected.

I got one of their pants last year – still the best cycling garment I’ve ever had. I wish more companies would focus more on materials and quality like Outlier does. Via

So weird, so beautiful. By Vanessa Bruno

Perfect ass, pointless interviews and lots of sunshine.

This winter already 13 homeless people died on Berlin streets. The motz & Co e.V. now launched their Survival Collection during Fashion Week – a jacket made out of newspapers to draw attention to this problem and raise donations. Via
