ecospirituality, grounded, natural festival fashion
Solarpunk
We are living in a time of massive change, in which we are concerned about the scarcity of raw materials and resources, a growing population, increasing weather extremes, environmental disasters and water scarcity. These issues are affecting my future and the fashion industry is facing a major transformation. Facing these circumstances, it is time to take responsibility for the environment and our community and to contribute to a positive change of systems.
Punk in Solarpunk is not just a trendy suffix, which is often attached to SciFi genres, instead it is an important ethos. Using the movement as a medium to create change. It is about setting apart from the mainstream and facing the positive solutions of solarpunk. Solarpunk represents hope, a green, fertile, bright, warm life worth living. By embracing a ‘solarpunk mindset’, my collection is showing an optimistic, yet utopian vision to confront the rising defeatism within our society.
As a utopian movement, solarpunk stands in contrast to many different apocalyptic scenarios which have been fascinating people since the 1980s. In Solarpunk we find solutions for renewable energies with the sun in the the centre of the movement.
