kleinformat



Hot off the press and just flown in from Austria, let me introduce an awesome new magazine for big and small alike.......kleinformat. I just unpacked them and put them online and I am very impressed....congrats Dolores you did a fabulous job! I love the fact that so many European artists are featured, not exclusively but the emphasis is definitely on talent this side of the pond, and I think that is great. Dolores has a blog where you can keep abreast of what she is up to and there you can also read about the whole birthing process of kleinformat.
kleinformat can be found by volksfaden here.

organic kids dresses




A new sub-category has been to our Organic Cotton Fabric category...."Organic Kids". Here we will be featuring organic cotton clothing for kids. We have started off with cute summer dresses for little girls...these dresses are made of fairtrade certified organic cotton for Bishopston Trading, a fairtrade company who has had a working business partnership with the village of K.V. Kuppam, India since 1985. The fabrics used are the same handloom organic cotton solids that we also sell.

who knows tomorrow

"Who Knows Tomorrow" is the name of a project currently curated by the National Gallery here in Berlin. Five internationally acclaimed African artists have been invited to create works in four separate venues in Berlin laying bare forgotten or often overlooked cross ties between Africa and Europe, past, present and future. One of my favorite artists, Yinka Shonibare, has an installation in the Friedrichswerdersche Kirche. Here is a link to the website about the exhibit in German and English.
