COEXIST Clothing = Ethical Apparel!
Saturday, May 6th, 2006
COEXIST was founded behind the concept of the COEXIST design logo. Combining three Abrahamic monotheistic faith symbols to spell “coexist” suggests a lifestyle of creative conscience. COEXIST embraces life first. They design the possibilities of enjoying it together because we are all at the interface of what is and can be. They aim to expose the distraction of discrimination, while promoting the vitality found in “collective.” COEXIST expresses global beauty in all ways of life through the lens of fashion and design.
When it comes to marketing, Cheap Monday could certainly learn a lesson from COEXIST. Marketing requires intelligence and not vociferous imbecilic barking. If you want people to listen first put your brain in gear. COEXIST have a long-term, meaningful message for us all!
Cheap Monday Jeans, the punk infused denim brand from Sweden, is gaining staggering attention and not just for its jeans. Just a few years ago Örjan Andersson was on his knees in his shed, hand printing his own shirts and jeans and in contrast just recently Cheap Monday Jeans were nominated in the category for “best jeans design” in Elle magazine. Impressive leap and well deserved recognition for the man’s artistry and craftsmanship.
Citizens of Humanity, the jeans favoured by Jessica Simpson and list of other high-profile stars, is a venture by Jerome Dahan and Michael Glasser, the creators of Seven Jeans. Citizens of Humanity jeans as most fashion buyers probably know are the epitome of premium denim; an amazing fit, purist craftsmanship and a pinch of meaningful panache. Perhaps less well known is the fact that both Dahan and Glasser give a portion of all sales of the Citizens of Humanity jeans to International Conservation. Recently there’s been a growing and laudable trend amongst Fashion Designers to include a tangible altruistic dimension within their brand philosophy. This represents a significant shift of mentality in an industry more commonly known for its egocentric propensity. Hats off to Citizens of Humanity!
