#Danish fashion brand

[fuckyeahelijahwoodfan]

A great interview and lots of photos for ensemble magazine

Adored honorary Kiwi Elijah Woods is excited. His second film with Kiwi director (and husband of Ensemble’s co-founder Rebecca Wadey) Ant Timpson is about to be released and he’s fantasising about the meals he ate in Aotearoa while shooting here last year. 

Unlike the first film they made together (Come to Daddy, an R18 dark, comedy horror filmed on Vancouver Island in 2018), Bookworm brought Elijah back to the filming location he’ll be long associated with.

Part Bigfoot genre movie and part a touching examination of parenthood, it’s a film that combines subject matter close to both Ant’s and Elijah’s heart, this time wrapped up in a wholesome PG rating.

A man of impeccable taste, Elijah has in the past worked with friend, photographer and filmmaker Autumn de Wilde on a Prada campaign, DJs with his friend Zach Cowie under the moniker Wooden Wisdom, and is friends with Kate and Laura Mulleavy of LA fashion brand Rodarte. He’s regarded by many – except perhaps Jared Leto – as one of the nicest people in show business.

Another example of his incredible taste? Early next year Elijah will marry long-term partner Mette-Marie Kongsved, one of the most beautiful (in every sense of the word) human beings we’ve ever met – and the person who named Ensemble.

Elijah and Mette-Marie were friends for several years, before falling in love while making the Sundance award-winning film I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, which Mette-Marie produced, starring Elijah and Melanie Lynskey. When asked the best thing about the Danish producer, who also worked on Come to Daddy and Bookworm, Elijah brightens. “There's too many to name. She speaks seven languages. She is a bright shining light that makes a huge impression on everyone that she meets. She's very funny. She loves adventure. She loves food as much as I do. We share a lot of the same interests. She loves the Danish hotdog.”

What’s the best meal you've ever eaten?

It's a hard question to answer, but I would probably say it was at Fäviken in Sweden. Mette-Marie and I went there for New Year’s when we’d just started dating. We built our entire trip around eating there; we’d seen a profile on it and the chef, Magnus Nilsson, on Chef's Table. It’s remained one of my favourite meals, both in terms of an experience and the food. It was just totally all encompassing. 

There were a few guest rooms so we opted to stay there and it  was just magical. It was snowing, we drove up, there were these fire pits outside and a gentleman in a beautiful suit came to our car and he's like, ‘Elijah, Mette-Marie welcome.’ We were in the experience from that moment and the meal hadn't even started. 

The meal itself was incredible. And the environment, it was like two tiered. You started the meal downstairs in this one area by a fireplace, and then moved up to this main dining room, in this old rustic, almost barn-like building. It was just magical. 

The meal ended with cigars and cognac in a teepee outside. It was unbelievable. Oh my god. Then there was breakfast the next morning. It was totally magical and insane. That’s hard to top. The restaurant doesn't exist anymore. Magnus stepped down. He has an apple orchard now.

Zegna ambassador Mads Mikkelsen turned up to the Italian brand’s autumn/winter '25 show in Milan in a brown monochrome look that doubled as a masterclass in the very Danish art of layering

With fashion in a state of flux – creative directors coming and going, the constant churn of brand ambassadors – it’s comforting to know we can count on one constant: Mads Mikkelsen attending the Zegna show. Yesterday evening the Danish actor, who has been an ambassador for the Italian brand since 2023, turned up to Zegna’s autumn/winter '25 show in Milan wearing a monochromatic chocolate brown look in contrasting textures that looked utterly luxurious.

“I was looking through the pinterest board of a royal fashion account and was very surprised to find the cp Mary rarely wears danish designers unless it's for jewelry or for evening gown events. For day wear she wears British or French designers 95% of the time. And even the danish jewelry brand she wears the most, dulong, is partly owned by her stylist, Anja. Very disappointed!!!” - Submitted by Anonymous

been getting some questions what with January 20th looming and an era that I know we’re going to collectively use to our advantage lest we languish in our own misery—seriously, I have faith in us. We have been through it before, we can pull through again. So I’m gonna go out of my way to answer them as best as I can.

about flour:

For the most part, I use basic all-purpose flour. Unbleached—it’s okay to use bleached once in a while (like if they’re out of stock or something), but unbleached is the way to go because it has all its protein, minerals, and most of its gluten. In other words, it’s healthier.

sometimes, for my breads, I use bread flour, which is stronger and contains more gluten (i.e., you get more of a rise during the proving process). In some places, like in Britain or Canada, they put good minerals into their bread flour which help with the rise as well, like sometimes in British recipes, they’ll call for “strong bread flour” or “strong white flour”—they’re cold climates so they’ve learned to adapt with it.

cake flour is basically a.p.f. mixed with cornstarch so it’s very light and airy. It’s particularly good in cupcakes and any kind of pastry.

apparently there’s also pastry flour? I’ve never actually seen it before but I’m guessing it’s best for all your Danish pastry needs and anything that requires a “book turn”.

self-rising flour is basically a.p.f. with baking powder and a little salt. 1 cup of a.p.f. ( - 1 3/4 teaspoons) + 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder + 1/4 salt = 1 cup of self-rising flour.

for a while, I had whole wheat flour in the cupboard and I used that in a soda bread, a rye bread, cookies, and I think carrot cake? I also used it in my first sourdough starter. Not nearly as refined so it’s significantly healthier and heartier. It is a bit more expensive, though (no clue why, either), so use sparingly if and when you can.

rye flour is good for all your rye breads and rye bread needs. Very grassy and when used in bread, it’s heavier so it needs more time to proof.

semolina flour is used in continental breads like baguettes and ciabatta, English muffins, and also in pizza crust. If you can’t find semolina, corn meal works in identical fashion (i use corn meal all the time for my pizzas and English muffins).

almond flour is not flour but ground almonds—I once saw someone in my bread making group on Facebook try to make a sourdough starter with almond flour and they were baffled as to why nothing was happening (probably because you’re using ground nuts!). I see it used in macarons and dacquoise, anything light and delicate.

there’s all manner of “alternative” flours like that out there: almond, cashew, oat, arrowroot, but they’re all used more often in sweet baked goods like cakes or cookies, because they don’t really produce gluten, or they do but not in the fashion you want, though. You’d have hell of a time trying to make a loaf of bread using oat flour.

However: you have what are known as “ancient” grains: spelt, sorghum, millet, einkorn, emmer, amaranth, teff, farro, barley, and khorasan. I have yet to use spelt flour, but these grains have been with us for millennia, and in my humble, more or less informed opinion, they’re the best if you’re gluten free or know someone who is. Einkorn and amaranth in particular are easy on your digestive tract.

and because I’m not rich, I use store brand stuff. Works just as fine, if not better (hey, my chocolate babka won 1st place using store brand a.p.f. and chocolate chips!) If I was, though: go with Gold Medal. It’s the one I remember most from my mom’s baking heyday as well as my grandparents’ cupboard.

happy bread making! take care of yourself and each other!

ATELIER VERSACE FW 98

After Gianni Versace died Donatella was hesitant to take the post of head designer for the brand so there was a designer (still searching for him and will update the post soon)who made these designs and was fired after a few months.

Update:

In 1998, the Danish haute couture designer Jørgen Simonsen was headhunted for the job as the new chief designer of the Versace fashion house after the tragic death of its founder, Gianni Versace.

During the initial job interview, Jørgen presented the Ice Crystal Princess collection, which he had created on the basis of cross-inspiration from Greenland’s Inuit culture. This marked the start of Atelier Versace’s first haute couture collection following the demise of its founder. The reaction from the international fashion press was extremely positive.

I very curious about Mary of Denmark’s wedding dress designer. I saw in your post that it was designed by Uffe Frank. Because I did love the dress, I went ahead checked his website, social pages etc… And man has even less followers my grandma, almost no online presence. It just seemed odd. This guy designed the crown princess’ then poof he is gone

It's an interesting conversation (that's code for: I'm about to ramble!). I honestly don't know anything about Uffe's career. I think there's two possibilities and I'll discuss them both.

Firstly, it's possible that his career is absolutely fine and he just doesn't prioritise an online presence. There's this unusual group of designers who pretty much exclusively create bespoke pieces for a limited clientele and have very little to no presence online because they don't have to. If everything you make is bespoke and all your clients are drawn from a small pool of aristocrats and public figures then most people in your target market will hear about you through word of mouth, not Instagram. It actually benefits them to remain exclusive and mysterious. There are other examples in this category like Pär Engsheden. He made Victoria's wedding dress, he's an incredibly respected designer. But he has no website and no social media that I know of at all. Or Bruce Oldfield. He has a basic website and less than 9k followers on Instagram. Yet he was one of Diana's favourites for years, he dresses Camilla now. Related to this I think sometimes profiles can grow organically but neither Bruce nor Uffe are verified. There are a few accounts on Instagram with Uffe's name so if he isn't actively building his account, people may not follow because they don't trust it's a real account.

The other alternative is that his brand is not doing so well or perhaps didn't grow. And I think this is interesting because we hear about the "Kate Effect" - you can insert any royal woman's name in there - where a royal wearing a piece instantly leads to it selling out. And there is some truth to it but I think the picture is more complex. For a start, brands almost never reveal the actual increase in sales that could be attributed to the royal. Maybe something sold out because it was already selling well and would have without the royal. And I also think that people wanting to buy a garment worn by a royal doesn't necessarily translate into being long term customers. If we look at some of the brands Kate wore a lot in 2011-2016, so many of them have folded or gone into administration. And I'm not for a second saying it's her fault - it's because the market now prefers cheap fast fashion or big designer brands so there's no foothold for the mid level brands - but it shows that a royal generating a lot of sales for one item doesn't necessarily give a brand long term financial health. Uffe is already on the back foot because he dressed a Danish royal almost 20 years ago rather than a British royal 10 years ago - the exposure he received will have been less, the time gap will mean more people have forgotten - but I think ultimately it's kind of like general internet culture. I've had posts go viral on Tumblr but it leads to absolutely no discernible increase in followers who stick around. You have to keep feeding the machine. It would be more surprising to me if Mary wore Uffe's stuff every week and he wasn't a big name, but honestly it doesn't surprise me to see him have a low profile despite making her wedding dress.

Having the opportunity to explore this year’s Met Costume Exhibit ‘Women Dressing Women’ gave me the chance to learn just how big of a role that women had in helping shape the fashion industry into what it is today. Presented in what I would call a four act play, act I titled ‘Anonymity’ begins with the entrance of women in the fashion world. Dressmaking was first seen as an extension of domestic work in the 16th century done by women, but as the growing vocation made its way to the United States women would begin embroidering their work as to have it be rightfully credited to them, but also helping fashion historians keep track of who designed what.

Act II is what I could only cheekily refer to as “old maiden clothes.” Or the birthplace of female autonomy in creating pieces such as lingerie and evening gowns. As I was walking through this part of the exhibit I couldn’t help but chuckle at the idea of some of these pieces being considered lingerie. For example, when staring at Marie Gerber’s ‘Evening Ensemble’ I kept thinking how conservative it is when I compare it to big lingerie brands such as Victoria’s Secret and Savage Fenty. Having grown up on those brands it’s not that strange to see why I would think Gerber was being a bit too modest with her design. Another of my favorite look from this act included Jeanne Lanvin’s ‘Cyclone’ evening gown who would create her own boutique with no financial backing.

Act III titled ‘Agency’ and could be compared to the third wave of feminism, saw a more revealing woman break into the scene. With the rise of the British Punk scene and popular rock bands like The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols and Black Sabbath, it inspired British designers like Betsey Johnson and Vivienne Westwood to help create a new, edgy look that could match this subversive culture. Fashion was no longer just for the elite, it became an important symbol in cultural revolution and rebellion. Something that women designers could understand and relate to as they continued to push into the mainstream and make their collections not just works of art but a loud disruption to a corrupt and stiff society. Some of my favorite looks from this act include Betsey Johnson’s ‘Paraphernalia’ that I consider paying homage to the rise of hippie culture and the Beatles smash hit ‘Yellow Submarine.’ It was made most famous by model Baby Jane Holzer. Vivienne Westwood’s ‘On Liberty’ recognizes the British High Class and fun fact Vivienne Westwood’s second husband Malcolm McLaren was the manager of the Sex Pistols and Vivienne would often times design their wardrobes growing popularity for both her and the band. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the work of Ann Lowe, an African American designer who would go on to make, and then remake the day before due to a flood in her basement, Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress which she would receive no credit for.

Act IV titled ‘Absence/Omission’ would introduce the “modern woman” created to feature and examine the inclusion of women with different body types as well as showcasing designs made for women who live with disabilities such as Aaron Philips who would have a mannequin modeled after her wearing peices designed by Collina Strada. Aaron Philips is most notable for her debut in the Moschino Fall ‘22 show. This act will also feature pieces from Danish designer Jasmin Søe who creates ensembles for those who live with achondroplasia(little person syndrome) as well as Ester Manas who is known for championing plus size women with her creations.

Though my favorite pieces would in this exhibit would come from Marie Grazia Chiuri ensemble for Dior. Marie captures everything I love about Dior, the combining of high luxury activities with haute couture to match in this fencing inspired ensemble. Tory Burch’s 2024 resort white dress is simplistic in nature but reminds me of something out of the classical Swan Lake ballet show(or if you’re a bit edgy the 2010 cult film ‘Black Swan’). Along with Simone Rocha’s couture dress that I can absolutely give no notes on, these would be my favorite pieces that I found myself coming back to often. Donna Karen’s ‘93 evening dress is honorably mentioned too due to Hillary Clinton wearing it (very distastefully in my opinion) at the 1993 State Dinner. However the gown itself was beautiful and reminded me of a longer version of Maddie Perez’s New Years dress in season 2 of ‘Euphoria.’

Overall these collection was both inspiring to see. I have only had the opportunity to visit the Met costume exhibit twice. The previous time focusing on works of Karl Lagerfeld. This exhibit however taught me more about women’s role in fashion and their struggle to breakthrough than any fashion course I could potentially take. The importance of preserving this history is obvious. Without the knowledge of Ann Lowe, Jackie Kennedy’s famous wedding dress would have continued to go uncredited and a Black woman would have been forgotten to history. These are the types of exhibits that matter. In preserving and showcasing our history, we are able to teach and inspire a new generation of fashion critics, designers and models to see what is possible in this amazing industry and if you find yourself in New York I would highly recommend making time to check out the exhibit.

When it comes to knitwear I primarily choose Andersen Andersen. A Danish brand that makes great sailor sweaters. Got a few of them. On the feet, Danner Boots.

Movies I watched and books I read this Week #141 (Year 3/Week 37):

Continuing through Aki Kaurismäki’s early work:

🍿 While waiting for his new film "Fallen Leaves", I found a copy of his second feature, the absurdist Calamari Union (1985). 15 desperate guys (all named Frank), and another called Pekka (who speaks in a fake Finnish-English accent) undergo a random series of senseless misadventures, as they try to flee from one seedy suburb of downtown Helsinki to the mystical seaside of Eira. Weirdly surrealist.

🍿 Rocky VI, an early (1986) black & white short, a parody of Stallone franchise. A puny little guy fights the much bigger “Igor” (A giant with Brezhnev eyebrows) and loses.

🍿

Letter from an Unknown Woman, my first romantic tear-jerker by Max Ophüls. 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes’, and co-produced by venerable John Housman. The allure of turn of the century Vienna. Beautiful Joan Fountain looking very much like young July Greer.

🍿

My first 3 Croatian films by new female director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović [2 with Danish-Serbian actress Danica Curcic, and 2 with the beautiful Gracija Filipovic]:

🍿 Stane, a brand new 20-min. elusive story about a strong-willed woman, who was just elevated to lead her immigrant father’s thriving construction empire, while at the same time discovering her husband’s infidelity. Unspoken emotions and toxic dynamics explored. This is part of ‘Women’s Tales’, an anthology of 26 shorts commissioned by fashion brand Miu Miu, which I’m going to start devouring. 9/10.

🍿 “Dreams die in paradise”…

Her debut feature film, Murina ("Moray eel"), was exec-produced by Martin Scorsese, and won the Caméra d'Or at the 2021 Cannes Festival. Powerful, feminist story of a strong-willed 17 year old fisherman daughter, who rebels against the primitive patriarchy on the beautiful Adriatic island where she live. Her father especially is an abusive, controlling prick, trying to keep his growing mermaid daughter in her place. It evokes other sensual Mediterranean dramas full of salt water and sun, like ’The lost daughter' and 'A bigger Splash'. Mature and sensitive. 9/10.

🍿 Into the blue (2017) is her previous draft for 'Murina', a similar story about a 13 year old diver, also named Julija, played by the same actress, in the same locations, and with the same sensibilities and mature 'feel'. A story about friendship and jealousy between two girls.

🍿

Josep, a different type animated feature, more like an animated painting, by the French cartoonist Aurel [How many other directors use only one name, beside Tarsem?]. It's an artistic biography of the little-known Catalan artist Josep Bartoli, detailing his experience at a French concentration camp during the last war. In 1939, the Spanish refugees persecuted by Franco, sought asylum in France, but instead were interned in concentration camps. This was a chapter from history I was not familiar with. 8/10.

🍿

4 more re-watches:

🍿 Another go at Ron Flicke’s non-narrative Baraka ("Blessing", 1992). I introduced it to my mom, who enjoyed the first half, as it embraced the Yin of the world's vast beauty and spirituality, but as soon as it started turning toward the Yang of destruction and decay, she had to bail. But the people who pray for peace, and the people who kiss the holy stones, are the same people who burn the trees, and who slaughter all the chickens.

🍿 “Welcome to the future, bruh…”

Nightcrawler, another tense re-watch of Dan Gilroy’s brilliant debut feature. Villainous thief Jake Gyllenhaal is the ultimate urban amoral creep. This is surely how Musk would have started, if he was born on the other side of the tracks. Gilroy specifically wrote the role of Nina for his wife Rene Russo. Also, with 'Mad Men's Ted Chaough. Now I'm glad that I never got to watch television.

🍿 “…It’s called an anus…”

After reading the excellent 'Los Angeles Review of Books' article about The big chill which had premiered 40 years ago, I took another dip. Still a terrific ensemble piece, with Peak William Hurt and Meg Tilly. 9/10.

🍿 “I think loneliness probably kills more people than cancer…”

The masterful A simple favor once again: This is becoming nearly a bi-weekly event for me, it seems. I simply cannot get enough of this wonderful 'Suburban Noir'. Everything I said last month still stands: The script and dialogue are so crisp, the sound design is fantastic. The story is perfect. Shoutouts this time to the lesbian undertones with Blake Lively, to Rupert Friend's Dennis Nylon, to the Visual Style'... 10/10/10.

Bonuses: The soundtrack [not great by itself] Some bloopers and B-rolls. I'm so not looking forward to ‘Simple Favor 2’!

🍿

Life of crime, another black comedy caper, based on an Elmore Leonard novel. His hapless small-time hoods Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara try another doomed kidnapping scheme in Detroit. The 1978 Detroit ambiance is beautifully recreated. Unfortunately, the two bumbling con men are nowhere close in charisma and presence to Samuel L. Jackson in Jackie Brown or Travolta's Chili Palmer. Tim Robbins is the baddie. 3/10.

🍿

5 more shorts:

🍿 Ten minutes older, a 1978 short by Latvian documentarian Herz Frank, which consists of sublime ten minutes of reaction shots of children watching a puppet show. It must have been inspired by Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous Parisian series from 1963. (Photos Above).

🍿 A documentary about the making of John Frankenheimer 1966 horror / science fiction film Seconds, starring Rock Hudson.

🍿 Fantasmagorie, a 1908 French animated film by Émile Cohl, considered by film historians to be the first animated, using what came to be known as traditional animation methods.

🍿 Reservoir Dogs, 1992: A 12-minute Tarantino short, made with the help of the Sundance Film institute and served as a proof of concept for the feature film.

From a Deadline list of ‘Films that began as shorts’

🍿 Carl’s Date, the latest "Pixar" pre-movie short, riffing on Carl Fredricksen from 'Up'. Disney squeezes the juice out of anything with a heart, and jerks it off into a used sock under the bed. 2/10.

🍿

Unfit, The psychology of Donald Trump, with Malcolm Nance, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and a bunch of heave-duty psychiatrists. A sharp documentary, showing beyond any reasonable doubt that the orange malignant narcissist suffers from the same incurable mental illness, his idols Hitler & Mussolini did. It should have scared the world, when he still was in charge. Sadly, it's from 2020, and so much had transpired since. But hell, fuck this guy once and for all. 8/10.

🍿

The Tel Aviv to Tel Katzir Shuttle (מאסף תל אביב־תל קציר), by Moshe Shargal (2000): A lovely memoir of life at a simpler time, time I nearly remember, Israel of the late 1950's, when young people could still dream about endless horizons, unblemished landscapes and hopeful futures. It opens with a poem by Pinhas Sadeh, הליכה בשדות מרמת רחל לצור בח'ר

האושר הוא ללכת בזוהר השמש השוקעת של סוף הקיץ

כאילו הולך אתה בשדה בעמק יזרעאל, ואתה כבן 16

וכאילו כל החיים, כל החיים, עדיין

האהבות, הכאבים, המתיקות

אי אפשר לתאר את השלווה הזאת

השמיים, הרוח, האדמה החומה

רק אלוהים יודע

ממערב משתפל ויורד חורש ירוק

אורנים וברושים נעים לאט

ואתה הולך לבדך בעולם בשדה בשמש השוקעת של סוף הקיץ

איש בסתיו חייו

ובוכה

🍿

[levok]

Anon, if he wants to (and is invited, but I don't see any reasons he shouldn't be invited to Copenhagen now when he attended Milan and Paris), he will make it there. Last year within just 2 days he had 2 performances - one in Norway another is Sweden (don't remember the exact cities but they were really far from each other) and attended both without any trouble

He definitely would as long as it’s logistically possible. But it all comes down to what brand(s) would invite him (not so much about the “level” of the fw). But he did attend last year bc of Vman and made some connections and the danish fashion industry definitely knows who he is.

We will see.

Sustainable Choices in Intimate Fashion: Highlighting Eco-Friendly Brands and Practices in the Production of Lingerie

As consumer awareness grows around sustainability and ethical practices, the intimate fashion industry is undergoing a transformation. Eco-conscious shoppers are demanding lingerie that not only embodies comfort and elegance but also aligns with their values of environmental responsibility. Here's a deep dive into how the industry is addressing these demands, along with a spotlight on brands and practices shaping a greener future for lingerie.

The Environmental Impact of Lingerie Production Traditional lingerie manufacturing involves materials like synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon, spandex) derived from petrochemicals, which have a high carbon footprint. Additionally, dyes and chemical treatments used in production can pollute waterways, harming ecosystems. Fortunately, many brands are embracing change by adopting sustainable practices.

Sustainable Fabrics: The Foundation of Eco-Friendly Lingerie Organic Cotton Free from harmful pesticides, organic cotton is a soft, breathable fabric perfect for lingerie. It is biodegradable and has a significantly lower environmental impact than conventional cotton.

Bamboo Viscose Bamboo grows quickly with minimal water and no need for pesticides, making it an eco-friendly crop. Its transformation into viscose, when done sustainably, creates silky-soft lingerie with a luxurious feel.

Recycled Materials Many brands are repurposing discarded materials like nylon fishing nets (Econyl) or post-consumer plastic bottles to create high-quality lingerie. This practice reduces waste and minimizes reliance on virgin resources.

Tencel™ Lyocell Derived from sustainably harvested wood pulp, Tencel is a silky, breathable fabric produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents.

Ethical Practices: Beyond the Materials Transparent Supply Chains Brands committed to sustainability ensure their supply chains are traceable and free from exploitation. Certifications like Fair Trade, OEKO-TEX®, and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) help consumers identify ethically produced lingerie.

Low-Impact Dyes Eco-friendly dyes and waterless dyeing technologies reduce water waste and chemical runoff, ensuring the production process is kinder to the planet.

Inclusive Sizing and Longevity Creating lingerie with extended durability and offering inclusive sizing reduces overproduction and waste. When consumers invest in high-quality, well-fitting pieces, they are less likely to discard them prematurely.

Zero-Waste Manufacturing Some brands are adopting zero-waste techniques, where fabric scraps are repurposed or designed out of the production process entirely.

Eco-Friendly Lingerie Brands to Watch Naja This brand uses recycled fabrics and employs single mothers and female heads of households, providing them with fair wages and flexible working conditions.

Underprotection A Danish brand using sustainable materials like recycled polyester, organic cotton, and lyocell, certified by GOTS and OEKO-TEX®. Their designs are both elegant and eco-conscious.

Organic Basics Based in Denmark, Organic Basics creates minimalist lingerie from organic and recycled materials, emphasizing durability and comfort.

Araks Known for its timeless designs, Araks incorporates organic cotton and recycled nylon, prioritizing eco-friendly practices in every step of production.

Luva Huva This UK-based brand handmakes lingerie using deadstock fabric, bamboo, and organic cotton, ensuring minimal waste and ethical production.

Empowering Consumers to Make Greener Choices When shopping for sustainable lingerie, consumers should look for:

Certifications like GOTS, Fair Trade, and OEKO-TEX® Information about materials and production practices on brand websites Reviews from other eco-conscious shoppers Additionally, caring for lingerie properly (hand washing with eco-friendly detergents and air drying) extends its lifespan, further reducing its environmental impact.

The Future of Sustainable Intimate Fashion The rise of eco-conscious lingerie brands signals a promising shift toward sustainability in the fashion industry. By supporting brands that prioritize the planet and people, consumers can help drive meaningful change while enjoying beautifully crafted intimate wear.
