Berlin label blue blood sisters has and sacrifice style in their pursuit of more ecological fashion but changing the industry will take time. Of course everything goes step by step initially people would say to us your clothes we have your trade but youre not using organic cotton many factoring is slowly catching up weve been working with manufacturers in india and china and are also trying to get them to implement fair working conditions you cant expect them to immediately be able to produce arcana cotton. Cloth. The dutch jeans maker is taking a different route with my jeans you dont buy the jeans you rent them for 7 euro 50 a month if you return them within a year the jeans are shredded and then recycle. Them on our side and we make new jeans out of jeans we shred the old jeans to make yarn i combine with new organic cotton to make the fabric for our new jeans and. Recycling is the sustainability trend of the new unit all balls turned into new. Banks. We can choose from using renewable materials like cork or to make the big fat souls of these punks cauthen techno campers recycled plastic. These spanish sneakers will run you 200. 00 euros sustainability doesnt come cheap studies however show that fully a 3rd of all purchase clothes are never even worn so maybe the solution is to buy fewer more expensive clothes that last longer. And scott rockstro has joined me in the studio to talk more about sustainable fashion welcome scott fashion expression that for me seems a little bit like an oxymoron because i mean lets face it the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries on the planet so what exactly does this trade fair intend to do well it is looking at going to this niche which is still very small the show of sustainable fashion or Green Fashion and what theyre trying to show the industry is that it is possible to produce clothes and produce really high end fashion in a sustainable environmentally friendly way and as we just saw where the main things theyre doing is using Recycled Materials to make to make their clothes i was a couple examples there in the piece you know we saw a couple of really interesting ways of using new resources of the shoes for example here are partly made from algae gathered from the ocean one of the consequences im a change is that we have huge algebra duction becomes a cheap material to use and cheap resource use these boots here are from recycled plastic. Which is also gathered from the ocean actually waste plastic that was thrown in the ocean a Spanish Company recovers it makes these boots makes jackets and and bags out of recycled plastic im this is one of my favorites a Clothing Company they make these coffee lover t. Shirts and the t. Shirts themselves are made from a waste product thats produced when coffee is manufactured so its also. Of trying to use resources at least that are usually Waste Resources and recycling and is always a bit more environmentally friendly looks very good antidote and very innovative but lets you know face it fashion is really the end tipis of sustainability isnt it i mean the whole Business Model is definitely built on our throwaway culture i mean just think of the fact that many fashion houses have 2. 00 to 3. 00 to 4. 00 collections a year is is. The Initiative Like this just really sort of greenwashing or window dressing i think you could make that argument definitely i mean the fashion industry at the moment when they talk about sustainable fashion basically using it as a way just to sell more clothes and that maybe is the source of the problem you mention collections that its actually even more than i used to just you know 2 collections your Summer Winter now the average in europe is 5 year sorrow one of the Biggest Holding labels in europe has 24 collections a year that really doesnt look like sustainable going on i just quickly berlin fashion week has had a pretty hard time keeping up with its other rivals paris and london is is this going to be a stick for the future sort of the sustainability label i think thats probably one of the reasons why theyre going so hard behind the sustainability so that they can have a certain relevance but. Its a tiny portion of fashionista at the moment is growing rapidly and of course the issue isnt going to go away so i think berlin is on the right track and then youre back by saying were going to get behind Green Fashion and try to make the bank whether or not that has a real impact on the c o 2 emissions of the fashion industry remains to be seen and we do have to start somewhere dont waste our policy of never throwing anything out with the guy you just you know just throw the old stuff where in the old stuff joining me scott ross perot. Well traditionally the conductor of an orchestra was always a man and typically with a very strong personality but a new generation off female conductors has taken up the baton and one of the leading names here in europe is they a stone and Christian Apotheker are getting full points for strength herself she is the 1st woman ever to win the german conductors award in 2013 and shes recently started as music director of basel where we were able to catch up with her. Maestro Christina Pasco conducting Giacomo Puccinis opera in rehearsal ahead of the premiere. The the. Loveliest me and a comfortable number women is a very special opera to me because it was the 1st one i ever conducted. Yeah. Thats the part was the fun of it but it was more like this the mom and pop star says shes had to go through a process over the years of finding her own conducting style. Through having human about those i used to think you needed to have a special character to be a conductor and to conduct properly in the sense of going in and of course there are certain things you need to have and to learn but in the end the most important thing is what happens inside me my relationship with myself so to speak and my relationship to the score. And thats the basis for everything. That the boss is far less. Its gradually becoming more common for orchestras to be led by women after centuries of resistance to letting them wield the conductors baton. But there are still those who wonder is that richards the musical experience. So must be my because theres no such thing as a feminine interpretation. Music and art in general needs a human being and many human beings have both elements in them there are certainly female conductors whose style is more stereo typically masculine than that of their male colleagues i mean side is very well developed and i need to work more on my feminine side and he seemed to think that. It was no male and then went away because the. Going to get. Noticed. Any more christian that pasco grew up in estonia as the daughter of 2 professional athletes minus the important 1st impulse towards music came from my grandfather and he couldnt read music but he was fantastic at improvising on the piano and i wanted to do that too so i decided i wanted to go to music school and i studied piano starting at age 6 or 7 but i didnt have a goal back then of becoming a conductor again you know that just turned out that way. Christina pasko may not have deliberately started down the path to conducting but the new music director of the toyota basel is certainly turning it into a brilliant career. Over the options of 2 cheney we had to Northern Spain to pump low in fact long famous for the running of the bulls at the san Fermin Festival every july but in a quiet almost rural sobber of the house in pamplona as its known is famous for its her simplicity and its also a study in the possibilities with concrete and it needs a visit to appreciate its split level harmonizing with steep topography.

These floor to ceiling windows open onto the backyard garden area. The view is the key element for this property and we designed it with a view in mind. That we came up with the idea of a living room that would take full advantage of the view. Of this sort of design is typical for paris their trademarks are clear form minimalism another important element is the interaction between light and shade. Paris opened their office in pamplona in 2005. Theyre currently working on a new building for the city. Northwestern spain the special challenge was to make a modern design that blends into the old town. Location was also an important factor for the concrete house. Source of inspiration for all our works is the location. Thats why in this case we designed the upper portion of the structure as a thin concrete shelf. Which fits in perfectly with the local topography. Of the architects also use the slope to divide the structure into 2 functional areas the upper one includes the living room and the kitchen the lower one is more secluded and includes the bedroom its accessed via a short tunnel.
