“People fixing fashion“ is one of the many interesting projects launched by the international “One Army Foundation”, an organization that mobilizes international communities to address major environmental issues.

The project, launched in 2021, has the mission of inspiring and teaching users how to repair, modify, take care of our garment and inviting all of us to mobilize to reduce textile waste and take care of our precious resources. 

Fashion can be set by the people

On the online platform you can find a small alternative collection of clothes made not to sell but to inspire: the message is that Fashion can be set by the people, everyone can make their own style from what we already have, keeping what is worth keeping, upgrading what we feel a bit boring, repurposing what we don´t use anymore. 

In the Academy section are available all the information needed through text, images and video tutorials, to start making your own collection.

We are honoured to be featured in Billie Eilish’s sustainable fashion Guide in our City !

Cultural sustainability agency BLACK PEARL has created a sustainable fashion guide for the European tour of Billie Eilish HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR – an invitation to explore each tour stop more consciously and creatively, through local fashion solutions.

Billie’s European tour will touch 17 cities: Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hannover, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Bologna, Paris, Barcelona, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Dublin.

For each of these cities, the cultural sustainability agency BLACK PEARL has curated 17 different guides to spotlight local fashion gems — from independent designers and vintage stores to repair spaces and community-led initiatives — with the purpose of highlighting those doing powerful work in sustainability. 

 

The Circular Atelier Amager has  been included to represent Copenhagen and the inspiring ways it’s showing up – through intention, practicality or cultural rhythm. 

These guides are an invitation to celebrate what’s happening close to home, support the bigger conversation on sustainability, or simply discover something new. We are Grateful to be part of this moment. 

Sustainable fashion is a process built on small, intentional choices. 

It is found in a Vintage jacket that carries a history, a local design focused on ethics or  workshop where you can learn to repair rather than replace or discard.

The guides are a starting point. In each city find curated local spaces, makers and initiatives helping to shape a more thoughtful and responsible fashion future.

The Atelier Celebrates its 2nd Year

At this time of the year, the Atelier celebrates its birthday, and I like to pause and look back, retracing all the moments that have passed, just like you would with a special relationship.

Because yes, I have a special relationship with the Atelier. I love this space, not only because it allows me to unleash my creativity and dedicate myself to what I enjoy, but also because it has proven to be the perfect way to meet people in the neighborhood and start feeling like an integral part of this community.

Every day here is different, just as the types of projects and collaborations we carry out are varied.

Why Amager?

I don’t know if you know Amager or if you’ve ever heard of it. 

Amager is a neighborhood of the city of Copenhagen located on one of the islands that make up the city itself. Yes, Copenhagen, which has always been a seaport, extends over three different islands and each neighborhood of the city is different from the other. 

After moving here I lived in almost every neighborhood, but in Amager, I found for the first time a deep sense of community and connection between people. 

It is a very diversified neighborhood, where there are many small original shops. 

There are those who sell fruit and vegetables, there are those who sell their own canvases, there are those who work with wood, there are those who sell vintage or those who produce body care products in a natural way.

On the east coast of the island there is a beach, on the west a nature reserve. 

Finding something precious, I have chosen to open the Atelier here and to include the name of the island in the name of my studio, because the goal was to create a project that could connect and include the community.
