Many of us strive to be green, but despite our efforts much of our clothing probably still comes from sweatshops and is produced in ways that is unhealthy for the Earth. The designers we highlight are usually of the good-for–the-planet ilk, but the German apparel brand armedangels is taking an even more involved position. They call it the “social.fashion.revolution” movement. They use only organic cotton in their clothing, avoid long distances for shipping to reduce Co2 emissions, pay their farmers in India more than minimum wage, and donate a portion of their profits to charities dedicated to educating children in India and improving the quality of drinking water. (Breath) but that wouldn’t matter nearly as much if they didn’t have cool, covetable designs. Each item they sell is limited to 2,000 pieces and their new “scribbled and twisted” line features hoodies, long sleeved and regular tees designed with various sketches including line drawings of Gorey-like owls, block lettering, and their armedangels logo. If their designs and their movement strike your fancy, you can become one of their “eco warriors,” which will allow you to submit designs, complain about the state of the planet on their message boards, or potentially become a model or photographer for the brand.
