KIMI


ETHICS


This is KIMI.


This week his story got in the news:

Kimi is a young fox, born in April 2014.

He's growing up on a Finnish fur farm

and will be killed TODAY 

because he's going to be a fur collar 

for some fashion victim somewhere.

 (??????)


Like hundreds of thousands of other foxes, raccoon dogs and minks
he lives locked up in a tiny wire cage
(with piles of excrements below it and 
animals with infected eyes and morbidly obese bodies in it.) 

The reason: he's going to be electrocuted
 for the fashion industry.


 Although I cannot check all information above 
and have to believe what the organisation FOUR PAWS reports,  
I know for sure  there is 
s i m p l y    n o    n e e d
 for using real fur and causing animals to suffer for it.

What do you think?
Would you wear real fur?


Stella McCartney
(yes the daughter of)
had a totally different view
on the materials she uses in her collections:
no fur, no leathers,
but only faux leathers! 
(I think that's where we're heading in the future...)

Want to know Stella's reasons?
Read them here.

    You can be sure there's literally nothing wrong with these !!!

Designers find a lot of inspiration in ART

TREND: "WORN"


DUTCH DESIGN






is a Dutch brand for footwear, bags and accessories 
with a typical Dutch  'feel'

In Holland we're good in casual, nonchalant outfits 
that are practical under our grey skies and in stormy weather,
but we're also a very fashionable country
that is fast in picking up trends
 that will conquer the rest of the world.

Grotesque 
is 
original 
yet
 wearable 
and can be found in premium boutiques 
from Tokyo to Los Angeles 

The brand uses the best, natural leathers. 

Doesn't this look great?
I love it!
