EDITOR’S letter A new season is here. And after that delicious summer, it’s time to get your warm woolly winter clothes ready and get cosy. I don’t know about you but I LOVE the winter season. There is just something magic about it; fall foliage, winter snow, warm sweaters, cosy cardigans, that thick coat, the fireplace, that December holiday season. There’s a lot of goodness packed in the cold season.
Green This Season MAGAZINE October 2013
Where the summer is a time for us to go out and about explore and socialize outdoors, I feel that the winter is a season where we all come together to be cosy and comfy. The cold outdoors bring us closer together indoors. When it comes to keeping warm, there are some wonderful styles for you to enjoy this season. New on greenthisseason.com is the romantic collection of Finnish designer Sanna Hopiavuori, or as she says: a collection where Romance meets Rock. Feminine shapes and styles dominated by the colour black. Easy and timeless designs finished with (up-cycled) leather details. Black seems to be dominating this season and we love it. You often hear people say that they always wear black and they want to change. Ask them why and they’ll say because they need to wear more colour. Don’t get me wrong; I’m exactly the same. 9 Out of 10 times I’ll be walking around in my favourite black clothes.
And for the longest time I’ve been saying too; “I will wear more colour”. But then I started wondering, why? Why would I change that, if wearing black makes me feel comfy, happy and makes me looks good? Plus, and I am sure you’re with me on this one, there is no other colour that will do your accessories more justice than black. When we met Aleks Kurkowski in Berlin this summer I asked her why her collection was all black. She had the best answer; because I love black! Check out her collection. Personally I would want to have each and every single piece. The materials she uses are perfect and fabulous. Pay extra attention to the leather leggings, they are beyond amazing! Timeless, stylish and made to perfection are also the styles of Katharina Kaiser. I met Katharina this summer at the Green Showroom in Berlin. I would place her styles and collection in a class of its own. The styles, details and quality are exceptional. If you own a “Katharina Kaiser” piece, you know exactly what I mean. Buy yours here. There is a lot to find in our astounding online shop. Limited collections, slow fashion, all made with respect for nature, people our planet. In this edition of our magazine we just let the images do all the work. Sit back, relax and enjoy the new looks for this season. Happy shopping!
