Gotta love Charlie + Mary!
AMSTERDAM - Sometimes you just want to cheer very loud when you see something you’ve been waiting so long for. Charlie + Mary just made me do that!

Awearness Fair Fashion Event big hit!
ARNHEM – The Awearness Fair Fashion Event in Dutch fashion city number one, Arnhem, is almost over… But what a success! The event proved that fashion can be sexy as hell, sustainable and fair(trade) at the same time. Designers like Brennels, Studio-JUX, Van Markoviec, Rianne de Witte and Marlon Borgschot took over the catwalks and revealed their latest collections. They showed that clothes made of lyocell, wood pulp, soy, corn, hemp, bamboo and nettle are the future.
