and we visit the house in pamplona which has earned itself the title thanks to its award winning and an imbalanced concrete design. all since 2007 fashion week has taken place twice a year in january and july and over the years it's earned a reputation as a great place for young designers to earn their stripes but young designers are by definition tapping into the mentality and aesthetics of millennial than even jen says which means that sustainability in the industry has grown radically in importance and that's where the neighbor new trade show plays a major role. sustainability can be pretty sure some of the environmentally friendly fashions on the splay or even runway ready symbol style has moved on from the crunchy granola of the past that's not the berlin trade figure for sustainable fashion the focus is on where building and basics the berlin

label blue blood sisters has and sacrifice style in their pursuit of more ecological fashion but changing the industry will take time. of course everything goes step by step initially people would say to us your clothes we have your trade but you're not using organic cotton many facts are in is slowly catching up we've been working with manufacturers in india and china and are also trying to get them to implement fair working conditions you can expect them to immediately be able to produce our ghana cotton. jeans maker is taking a different route with my jeans you don't buy the jeans you grant them for 7 euro 50 a month if you return them within the year the jeans are shredded and then recycle . them as i make new jeans out of old jeans we shred the origins to make yarn i combine with new organic cotton to make the fabric for our new jeans.

recycling is the sustainability trend of the new unit all balls turned into new handbags. and shoes using renewable materials like cork. or to make the big fat souls of these punks cough and techno coppers recycled plastic. these spanish sneakers will run you $200.00 euros sustainability doesn't come cheap studies however show that fully a 3rd of all purchase clothes are never even worn so maybe the solution is to buy fewer more expensive clothes that last longer. and scott roxboro has joined me in the studio to talk more about sustainable fashion welcome scott fashion an expression that for me seems a little bit like an oxymoron because i mean let's face it the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries on the planet so what exactly does this new

new trade fair intend to do well it is looking at going to this niche which is still very small the sustainable fashion or green fashion and what they're trying to show the industry is that it is possible to produce clothes and produce really high end fashion in a sustainable environmentally friendly way and as we just saw where the main things they're doing is using a recycled materials to make to make their clothes so it's a couple examples there in the piece you know we saw a couple of really interesting ways of using new resources up the shoes for example here are partly made from algae gathered from the ocean one of the consequences i'm a change is that we have huge algae production becomes a cheap material to use and cheap resource use these boots here are from recycled plastic. which is also gathered from the ocean actually waste plastic that was thrown in the ocean a spanish company recovers it makes these boots makes jackets and and bags out of recycled plastic i'm this is one of my favorites

a clothing company they make these coffee lover t. shirts and the t. shirts themselves are made from a waste product that's produced when coffee is manufactured so these are all samples of trying to use resources at least that are usually waste resources and recycling and is always. a bit warm garments only looks very good and they don't and very innovative but let's you know face it fashion is really the end tipis of sustainability isn't it i mean the whole business model is definitely built on our throwaway culture i mean just think of the fact that many fashion houses have $2.00 to $3.00 to $4.00 collections a year is is. that the initiatives like this just really sort of greenwashing or window dressing yeah i think you could make that argument definitely i mean the fashion industry at the moment when they talk about sustainable fashion basically using it as a way just to sell more clothes and that maybe is the source of the problem you mention collections is actually even more that used to just you know 2 collections your summer winter now the average in europe is 5 year sorrow one of the biggest

labels in europe has 24 collections a year that really doesn't look like sustainable battle going on now just quickly berlin fashion week has had a pretty hard time keeping up with its other rivals paris and london is is this going to be its stick for the future sort of the sustainability label i think that's probably one of the reasons why they're getting so hard behind the sustainability so that they can have a certain relevance but all those a tiny portion of fashionista at the moment is growing rapidly and of course the issue isn't going to go away so i think. it is on the right track and then you're back by saying we're going to get behind green fashion and try to make the thing whether or not that has a real impact on the c o 2 emissions of the fashion industry remains to be seen and we do have to start somewhere don't waste policy of never throwing anything out she's meeting with the guy you just you know just one of the old stuff where in the old stuff joining me scott ross perot. well traditionally the conductor of an orchestra was always a man and typically with a very strong personality but

a new generation off female conductors has taken up the baton and one of the leading names here in europe is the estonian christian apotheker getting full points for strength herself she is the 1st woman ever to win the german conductors award in 2013 and she's recently started as music director of basel where we were able to catch up with her. maestro christina pasco conducting jacmel puccini's opera in rehearsal ahead of the premiere. the. leanest commissioned accompts blamo women is a very special opera to me because it was the 1st one i ever conducted. the young but. that's the part was the fun. if you are ok once more i think the comma and this pastor says she's had to go through

a process over the years of finding her own conducting style. 6 through a human of those i used to think you needed to have a special character to be a conductor and to conduct properly in the sense of going and of course there are certain things you need to have and to learn but in the end the most important thing is what happens inside me of my relationship with myself so to speak to see it and my relationship to the score. seem to know that's the basis for everything. that the boss is. it's gradually becoming more common for orchestras to be led by women after centuries of resistance to letting them wield the conductor's baton. but there are still those who wonder is that richard's the musical experience. so must be invited because there's no such thing as a feminine interpretation. music and art in general needs a human being and many human beings have both elements in them there are certainly

female conductors whose style is more stereo typically masculine than that of their male colleagues i mean my own side is very well developed and i need to work more on my feminine side and he seemed to think that. it was no male white men went away because i had been. going to get. 6. more she not pasco grew up in estonia as the daughter of 2 professional athletes minus the important 1st impulse towards music came from my grandfather and he couldn't read music but he was fantastic at improvising on the piano and i wanted to do that too. so i decided i wanted to go to music school and i studied piano starting at age 6 or 7 but i didn't have a goal back then of becoming a conductor again you know that just turned out that way.

christina plus come a not have deliberately started down the path to conducting the new music director of the take out of basel is certainly turning it into a brilliant career. over the options of puccini we had to northern spain to pump low 9 facts long famous for the running of the bulls at the san fran mean festival every july but in a quiet almost rural sobber of the house in pamplona as it's known is famous for its utter simplicity and it's also a study in the possibilities with concrete and it needs a visit to appreciate it split level harmonizing with steep topography. usually when people think of the city of pamplona northern spain they think of its famous historic old town there's a new landmark located in the penpal in a suburb this massive concrete building was designed by architect. parent. is one of the 2 architects in the firm the family home was created especially for

its owners a married couple with 2 daughters and their 2 dogs the kitchen and living room are located in a huge open space a big wooden structure house and the guest bathroom. floor to ceiling windows open onto the backyard garden area. as the view is the key element for this property and we designed it with a view in mind. that we came up with the idea of a living room that would take full advantage of the view. and this sort of design is typical for paris their trademarks are clear forms and minimalism another important element is the interaction between light and shade. in paris opened their office in pamplona in 2005. they're currently working on a new building for the city. northwestern spain the special challenge was to make

a modern design that blends into the old town. location was also an important factor for the concrete house. the great source of inspiration for all our works is the location. that's why in this case we designed the upper portion of the structure as a thin concrete shell. which fits in perfectly with the local topography. the architects also use the slope to divide the structure into 2 functional areas the upper one includes the living room and the kitchen the lower one is more secluded and includes the bedroom it's accessed via a short tunnel. that was in the parking for right now we're in the atrium of the lower part of the house which forms the center of the sleeping quarters we've also included a player for the children for another horse. paris and carlos
