rickard lindqvist (the brand) R.I.P.




After six collections the brand Rickard Lindqvist will no longer exist, the collection for SS10 is the last one. The reason? Since April 2009 Rickard is doing research at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, studying cutting techniques. The brand has been an integrated part of his research, but lately the research itself has met his incentive with the brand. That and the fact that it wouldn't be possible to combine research stays at other companies and running his own brand, is the reason Rickard decides to no longer make commercial collections.

We (and the rest of the fashion business) will of course miss him and hope to have him back sometime in the future.

KUYichi is now 100% sustainable!




Kuyichi brings a 100% sustainable collection for Spring/Summer 2010!
Known for being the first jeans brand to introduce organic cotton into the fashion industry, Kuyichi launches new sustainable concepts season after season. Next to the "old classics" as organic cotton, recycled polyester, vegetable tanned leather, hemp, linen, lenpur, bamboo, spare and recycled cotton, they now offer tencel and cotton in conversion.

Cotton in conversion is grown on land which has only recently been converted to organic methods. This conversion period takes around 3 years and as this method is more expensive to the farmers Kuyichi supports them by using in-conversion-cotton to help them make the important transition to organic farming.

new at sarabia: billy and i



At Sarabia we are glad to announce that we now represent new Swedish fashion brand billy and I. Behind the scenes, we find three friends, who decided to create their own vision of a label when they couldn't find the clothes they wanted. They were longing for a feeling, for garments with history - as the ones they love to wear. With inspiration drawn from themselves, lovesick persons and some bittersweet movies - the tale of billy and I was born.

billy and I makes their contribution to the environment by using organic cotton and bamboo in their jersey program. They will strive for using more and more organic materials and place their production closer to home as they grow bigger and bigger.

new at sarabia: rickard lindqvist




At Sarabia we are proud to announce our latest addition within the environmentally friendly fashion brands that has become our trademark; Swedish designer Rickard Lindqvist.

Originally trained as a men's tailor Rickard Lindqvist graduated with a BA in Fashion Design from the Swedish School of Textile in June 2005. Rickard's design is very much driven by intricate pattern construction but with the roots in classic tailoring. He combines the avante-garde with the classic in a way that challenges how we perceive our bodies and clothing.


As a contribution to the environment Rickard works with organic cotton in his jersey qualities which are also produced in Sweden. Special parts of the collection are made, or partly made, in his studio in Gothenburg. All in line with the idea of production closer to the consumer in favour of the environment.

REDUCE WASTE BY WEARING KUYICHI JACKETS



For summer 2009 Kuyichi introduces jackets made from recycled PET bottles. Recycled PET bottle fibre is the eco-friendly equivalent of the traditional virgin fibre made from petroleum. Textiles made from recycled PET bottles means 100% recycling and contributes to the decreasing of the amount of waste. The CO2 released in this process is almost nothing and the process conserves high amounts of energy, making this another eco-frindly solution to garment making.

How does this process look like? It all starts with collecting used PET bottles, crushing and heating them and forcing the PET flakes through spinnerets. The produced yarn is woven into fabrics. In the factory the fabrics made from recycled PET bottles are transformed into Style_Concious jackets.

Final step? You are the proud owner of a Kuyichi jacket and you just reduced the waste belt with 25 PET bottles by only wearing it!

Daniel Sarabia explains the benefits of organic fashion to Denmarks crownprincess

 


Sarabia was recently representing Kuyichi at their stand at CPH Vision in Copenhagen. One of the more distinguished guests at the fair was Denmarks crownprincess Mary, who seemed to enjoy Daniel Sarabias speach about organic cotton. He also gave her a bag of eco-washingpowder with the brands slogan "I'm clean now" on it, a gift she gladly accepted.
As a royalty her interest in the environment can hopefully affect other people. The slogan t-shirt Daniel is wearing has to do with the upcoming election in the U.S. and is from Katharine E Hamnett.
