and underwater photographer only take the plunge in some of the world's least hospitable waters to document the wildlife and the state of the ocean. we start off with sustainable fashion which in itself is a bit like an oxymoron given the fast fashion collections that are throwaway culture craves but there are moves afoot to curb one of the most polluting industries on the planet art see if is an israeli designer who has returned to his moroccan groups and with a very minimalistic team he does high end up cycling to great effect. the ricoh valley at the foot of morocco's high atlas mountains is the backdrop for a photo shoot starting to a model from the region. is the face of america's fashion label art sikh by israeli designer are you from. designs take inspiration from

berber traditions. prints the color wreath with the experience in the way or mix them the way i feel about the thing is there happiness today you for us music is posing for the cover of. the flower. in question even if you have a signature of something creative d.n.a. is completely belong to this country and produce. the sculpture. the rock and heritage is the d.n.a. art sees tate is a bright mutation mixing materials and styles playing with tradition and clichés to create something that's very 21st century.

artsy recycles not just traditional looks but old fabrics to each piece is unique made from materials the designer finds all over the world. cup is 3 coat. a lot of. memory. because if you think. the memory of it. breathes new life into the fabrics he finds. he designs his clothes directly on his models intuitively without drawing any sketches 1st. it's a process that treasures the old. disposable fashion that dominates the industry.

to show a different approach and. each piece. ties together different cultures as well as a sense of both the past and the future tradition and modernity. designs make a bold statement against overproduction and against fashion as something to be thrown away. and. the dilemma. so i'm all for having. stuff. unfortunately that's not.

it's not so if the most people can afford there are recycled an up cycle brands that are more affordable but still they are more expensive than the brands that most people buy and that's because recycled fashion takes more time to make each piece has to be unique because that's what happens when you recycle materials you have to work around what you've got of course it's a lot more expensive than mass production which is why it's not the norm but we are seeing a new awareness of the idea at least just an example this last weekend at the oscars joaquin phoenix rewarded his talks jane fonda reward her down search for ronan's gucci down was a recycled version of a previous gown that she had worn so there is more awareness of this idea at least at the very highest levels ok let's hope it tickled down and let's talk a little bit about why this is important because i think many people are aware just exactly how i will glamorous the fashion industry is when you really look at what it's doing to the environment right fashion is actually the 2nd most polluting industry in the world it's responsible for 10 percent of global carbon emissions

that's more than international flights and maritime shipping put together and it's only been getting worse in the last 20 years actually clothing production has doubled meanwhile more than half of textiles are thrown away every year and there's despairing there's as it is and there's this other big issue which is the kind of materials were wearing synthetic blood such as polyester in most clothing items and every time we wash them little tiny pieces of plastic get into the water into the ocean and we wash too much of course now what can those of us with more normal budgets do to dress fashionably and yet remain a bit sustainable right well inside the case aside from secondhand fashing secondhand shopping we should be trying basically to buy less and buy things that we really like and that will last and preferably natural materials to ok well thanks very much for alerting us to our who will be featured on our 21 show this coming saturday some realistic steps to take for

a sustainable fashion thanks for joining us with those insights david leavitt's you rock. so it was back in 1905 that brazilian ballerina found keeney decided to teach classical ballet to visually impaired youngsters for free since then her school in sao paulo has opened its doors to the deaf and mute and even to kids with other disabilities now her goal is to help all her students gain more social acceptance and now a documentary film illustrates her success story. when jesus says she forgets that she's blind. just like a natural born star i think she was born for the stage and for the camera there's something about her that i just don't know how to explain it's a very like her presence and she's like

a ballerina the whole time. he's been sightless since she was 9 is one of the main figures in alice shantel pelters documentary looking at the starts about the ballet school for the blind in south powell it's about the challenges the students face on their personal odyssey as dances and how they hone their skills at this unique learning facility. you go to like a regular bowler class and i can see it like that everyone is there is like a big mirror and the students are here and everyone is looking at them you are too you know like. to copy the movements of the teacher and the case of the school no it's like so you have to go a student by student and show that's how you do it and you're position there are it's all everything is based on touch we have video it's like when i get to. be. looking at the stars is not so much a depiction of overcoming disability and prejudice but more portraits of

disciplined and determined young ballerinas overcoming odds of being me. the training is arduous the physical impairments mean students can balance by focusing on fixed points the way that sighted dances do. moves like pirouettes are specially tricky i would. be. told of a spring. in every class i get goosebumps especially when they manage to dance some sections totally synchronized i need to keep myself from immediately stopping the music and shouting great you've done it. that's it. the documentary shows how important it is for the students to be seen as exceptional ballet dancers and not be defined only by their impairment and ultimately audiences are impressed by their performances as dances but also by

their personal courage. away from the dazzle of the stage the film doesn't shy away from everyday hardship it shows how difficult daily life is for blind people in brazil in scenes that was shot outside of the ballet school look out of the usually self competent is thrown off the rails after the birth of her child. story is movingly told it's about the struggle for inclusion in a deeply patriarchal society. and looking at the stars opens here in germany on february 13th all someone else who documents for a living is a marine biologist only courts he's also a diver and nature photographer and his office is quite literally underwater these days in the freezing waters of the north atlantic with his daring expeditions he hopes to sensitize people for the necessity of ocean conservation and we caught up

with him off the coast of northern. getting close to sea life and swimming through. the marine biologist and research diver is known internationally through his. little trouble with extreme temperatures in fact he prefers i. am a big fan of cold bodies of water because it's always surprising what you can find . as we told you dive in the water seems gray or black all around. but in many places you'll find creatures you won't see anywhere else on earth little worms snails many kinds of jellyfish and polyps. it's fascinating to find such a wealth of creatures in these cold waters and give us a little bit. it's not always. feeling count of them sometimes

on these expeditions. in the cold but then when the whales reach the cold and the way suffer. it's an adrenaline rush. only has seconds to react if he's lucky they might feel. that gives them an opportunity to get up. in the winter months the chances of spotting whales are good that's when they swim into the anfield from the northern atlantic. chasing after herring. the photographer from hamburg gives talks to audiences of every 8 around the world it's important to him to give as many people as he can and understanding of nature . many of my images are static i enjoy taking beautiful pictures but to depict reality and raise consciousness i have to take photos of images that aren't always pretty and show overfishing pollution and damage to the ocean so people see what's

happening out there. working in cold water regions is exhausting but the fascination with it keeps him going. and more power to him because it can't be said often enough our oceans are in dire need of more attention more on the website that's all for now but we will be back same time same place tomorrow until then go well. i am a business model. i am a brand. i. am fully up to my. influences shameless blowhards. or innovative business people who majorly impact the economy. made in germany.
