«Sarah’s Bachelor Fashion Collection»

 

Sarah Bounabs got her passion for fashion from her grandfather who was a tailor. Her collection is both provocative and extravagant. Inspired by eroticism, but also by the mountains and skiing, her goal was to make the classic ski locker room (wool sweater, knit mesh, down jacket) more erotic. The outcome is beautiful. Considering the fact that her work was «only» her Bachelor’s fashion collection (at HEAD, Geneva) we see a bright future in the fashion business for Sarah.

«Und+Co»

 

In their own opinion, the people from Und+Co. are not the best designers or the hippest trendsetters. But they are enthusiastic when it comes to fashion. They started to make clothing because they were sick of the bad quality garments and how the workers and the environment are exploited by the fast fashion industry. So the guys from Und+Co. came up with the idea to make sustainable clothing and accessories that are stylish and at the same time respect the planet and the workers, all at a fair price.
