Ever on the search for slow fashion brands that put an emphasis on ethics, most recently we’ve come across Berlin-based brand CRUBA. Mira Von Der Osten, the brand’s designer and founder, admits that in a world where everything is fast-paced and companies are measured by their short-term success, it’s challenging to forge a way that is slower. But at the same time, Von Der Osten believes that the future of the fashion industry is “slow”.
“CRUBA stands for Creating a Resolution Using a Berlin Argument,” she further relayed in an interview with Licorne Magazine. “It is a constant starting point as a source of inspiration for the city we live in. Design today is not about designing the new piece; it is rather a service to the women. We are not confined to be minimalistic or extravagant or lush etc. We can be both and our style is an immediate result of what surrounds us.”
The brand, says Von Der Osten, aims at creating clothes that ease the way we inhabit our skin—a worthy goal if any. Having studied fashion at Parsons in NY and Paris, she started CRUBA back in 2009, driven by what she calls “the sensual work of sculpting fabric”.
“Fabrics themselves often unleash flows of inspiration and creativity,” says the designer. Other sources of inspiration include anything from a certain light to an art exhibition. “Here in Berlin one can also feel a Weltschmerz, a world weariness, one of those great German words one cannot really translate,” adds Von Der Osten. “It describes a common longing or pain that is quite inspirational to me. You have to be in tune with everything to be alert to the smallest detail that can get you going.”
According to Von Der Osten, she tries to be a storyteller through her work. She admits that part of her brain tells stories through her designs. These stories, ultimately, stem from her love of people and people watching. The work itself, says Von Der Osten, brings her closer to people and closer to the world.
The brand’s sustainable designs are intended to fit into your wardrobe and give it an artsy twist. Head to their online shop.

There are two locations in the capital of Germany where partygoers can go for a dance.
The “Teledisko” locations let you choose your favorite song and dance to it for €2. If you pay €4, you’ll also receive a photo, and for €6 you’ll get a video from your tiny party. Of course, you don’t have to go in alone—take your favorite dance partner with you!
#teledisko #diskoking #disko #diskoqueen #diskokingandqueen #feiern #tanzen #musik #music #dancing #goodtimes #within #girls #girl #red #tanzen #chicas #chica #boy #dancingqueen #musica #clubbing #club #disco #loveThe two Telediskos are located in Friedrichshain and in the nightclub Kater Blau. Three other books don’t have fixed locations. They are actually not new — they’ve been around for a few years, but they became popular in recent months. Once you’re in, nobody can get in from the outside so you can relax and dance your stress away!
Similar booths are about to be opened in more cities around Europe, like London, Vienna, and Paris. There’s already one in Madrid, Spain, and locals and tourists simply love it.

Freiburg
Freiburg is situated near the French and Swiss borders, that’s why you can sense a very strong influence from these two countries. It is also one of the prettiest German towns with the most picturesque views. Let’s not forget the historically important spots you’ll want to hear all about.
Nuremberg
Nuremberg is absolutely charming. This is a town that is completely different from the rest of Germany, because it’s a very warm and unique spot. From the many colorful buildings to the crazy museums, you won’t be sorry if you decide to go.
Rothenburg
The charming Rothenburg reminds us very much of Colmar in France. It’s all about blooming flowers, cobbled streets and charming coffee shops.
Hamburg
Hamburg is without a doubt one of the prettiest cities in Germany that you have to check out. It’s a total gem with so many waterfront views. Hamburg also has the biggest warehouse district in the world, an area with charming houses, bridges and canals.

]]>Philip Frenzel, a German student from Aalen Univesity, has invented a unique airbag that protects our mobile devices from breaking when they fall down.
It’s called ADcase and it’s already won Frenzel an award from the German Society for Mechatronics.
The young inventor realized he should make the airbag after a failed attempt to find a phone case good enough to protect his phone. Understanding that there’s a gap in the market, he worked hard to fill it in the best possible way.
It took him more than two years to create ADcase. It will be compatible with iPhone 6 and newer, and the Kickstarter campaign for it will begin this month. Here’s how the device works.
