ALBA PRAT: syn - chron

The collections of Germanys finalist ALBA PRAT at the H&M's designer Award is simply stunning. The name of the collection is syn - chron. It's minimalistic and either has white and red or black and blue in it. The prints are made out of the heartbeats of the designer. She measured them and rendert them through design programms. She was inspired by german artist CARSTEN NICOlAI who does aesthetic sculptures and room installations where he combines visual, atmosphere ans sound. Her designs are very androgyn how she says, she is very fastinated by mens fashion. But she's still going to do woman collections. She uses dip dye and patterns. Dip Dye is maybe outdated but she redefines it. She's making it cool again. Even though she didn't win the Design Award, MINJU KIM did, i think she will have a future in fashion business.

KINGSLAND FACTORY WORKERS

    Today i want to talk with you about an very important thing right now. Kingsland Factory workers stopped working for H&M and Wal-Mart since September 2012, but they still got problems. They camp in front of the factory, so the owner of Kingsland can't take the machines out of the factory. The workers live in front of the factory, WITHOUT A HOME, MONEY, SECURITY. There are pregnant mothers, old people and ill people. They won't sleep because they're too afraid. At night there are drunk motorcyclers who are loud an come very near to the workers, so they are too afraid too sleep. H&M always says that the stopped to have a business relationship with Kingsland but 4 months before September 2012 the workers only got 50% of they should get. In the month before the relationship ended they got only like 20% and the workers didn't accept that. Do we really need to do something like that for fashion? I thought we were in 21st century.

Heute will ich ein ernstes Thema ansprechen. Die Arbeiter von Kingsland Factory haben für die beiden Marken H&M und Wal Mart im September 2012 aufgehört zu arbeiten, jedoch haben sie immernoch Probleme. Die Arbeite campen vor der Fabrik, damit die Besitzer die Maschinen und die Materialien nicht weg nehmen können. Die Arbeiter leben vor der Fabrik OHNE ZUHAUSE, GELD, SICHERHEIT. Dort sind schwangere Frauen, ältere und kranke Menschen die Hilfe benötigen. Sie können nicht einschlafen, weil betrunkene Motorradfahrer sie belästigen und sehr nahe an die Menschen kommen. Sie haben einfach zu viel Angst. H&M verweist, wenn man sie darauf aufmerksam macht, dass sie seit September 2012 keine Beziehung zu Kingsland hatte. Aber 4 Monate vor dem Ende der Beziehung wurde den Arbeitern nur 50% des zustehenden Gehaltes bezahlt. Einen Monat davor, war es sogar so wenig, dass die Arbeiter das Geld nicht angenommen haben. Müssen wir soetwas menschenverachtendes machen, nur um preiswertige Mode zu bekommen? Ich dachte wir leben im 21. Jahrhundert.
