15 Who is Christiane Milde? Green This Season MAGAZINE feb 2013 Born and raised in Weimar, Germany Fascinated by the fashionworld, the construction of clothes and the texture of fabrics Christiane decides to study fashion and collected experiences in the high fashion world Already at the beginning of her studies and during the time of her fashion education Christiane had the goal to work with fair and ecological correct materials In 2011 she founded the company Milde, based in Berlin Weißensee, where she creates clothes which reflect emotions and appear in aesthetically progressive ideas and beautifully simple looks Christiane Milde answers our questions about her brand and introduces us to empathy: Why Organic, Ethical Fashion? Why not? As a person living in this world I really don´t know why and how someone cannot care. I just open my eyes and look at the things that daily happen on this planet. I don´t have to be standing next to a chemical poisoned cotton field, a child labor fabric, minimum waged workers and so on to feel the pain and see that a lot of things go wrong. Empathy doesn´t stop at my doorstep. That is why for me personally and in business there is no other way in acting. I pretty much do everything with the question: How would I feel and live if I was standing on that side? It is my approach to do better than what is average right now. continue
