So what is this transparency?

So what is this transparency?

by Roksan Sarfati in Mah Roc Blog
This week we are asking ourselves what transparency and ethical fashion really is, for understanding better.
It's kinda strange that we find similar answers to our inquiry. Fashion transparency is all about the brands making their production processes clearly and sharing everything from design to final product.
''As the destructive effects of fast fashion created by production and consumption strategies become visible, it has led to the adoption of an ethical and ecological design approach that allows fashion to be redefined. Thus, ethical fashion has developed creative discourses such as 'Slow Fashion Movement' and has a structure that glorifies local crafts, fair trade, multifunctional design products, participatory design, the use of environmentally friendly materials and designs that are valued by recycling or up- cycling. ''
The fact that an design approach comes to the fore is about questioning under which conditions the design was created, produced, ethical and consumed. Ethical fashion, which adopts sustainable, slow and social approaches as a principle, adopts a transparent, participatory and critical discourse as a communication method.
So what is this transparency?
In our opinion, to clearly articulate all processes. So what are we doing?
We share all our processes of design to product. Everyone in our team has the right to give an idea in the design process from starting point to final decision.
For us, transparency and ethics starts here. If one of us questions the feasibility of that design, we discuss the question marks there. So there is no ego. The advice from us is let go of your ego as much as possible in your life. If we advocate the opposite, then we get wrong about sustainability. :)
See you next week!
love

Bangkok Bienali’nden notlarım

Kumaşlar yalnızca tekstil için mi? Tabii ki hayır! Nasıl giyinerek tarzını yansıtıyorsan, sanatçılar da kumaşlarla kendi dünyalarını ifade ediyor. Bugünkü yazım, size ilham vermek için geliyor! Şu an Bangkok’tayım ve tek başıma bienali geziyorum. Gözlerim rengarenk eserlerin üzerinde, her detayı dikkatle inceliyorum. Sanatçıların kullandığı şekilleri ve renkleri anlamaya çalışırken, düşüncelerim beni bambaşka yerlere götürüyor. Eserleri yorumluyor, kendi dünyamı onların diliyle yeniden yaratıyorum. Elime bu malzemeler geçse neler yapardım, bir sonraki koleksiyonuma nasıl ilham alırım diye notlar alıyorum. Fotoğraflar çekiyorum. Evet, buradan kesinlikle bir şey çıkarırım. Topladığım fikirlerle Sri Lanka’ya dönüyorum şimdi. Bu yazı da yolculuğum sırasında sana ulaşıyor. Ben yeni koleksiyonlar üzerinde çalışırken belki sen de mevcut koleksiyonlarımızı incelersin! Umarım onları, aynı tutkuyla yarattığım gibi, sen de tutkuyla keşfedersin.x Roksan

Mah Roc x Saving Home

Dear Friends, We want to tell you a very special story; A story that inspired us to create this collection! The hero of our story is a friend of ours who will make you smile when you hear his name: Gufi. Exactly seven years ago, we added Gufi, who was abandoned on the streets and in urgent need of a home, to our family. From the first day, he became the source of joy in our home. Gufi's life story reinforced the love and responsibility we feel for our homeless friends today. Colorful fabrics from Palazzo Fabric reflect Gufi's energy. While creating this special collection, we thought of everyone who touched Gufi's life. We decided to donate some of the sales of this collection, with which we have an emotional bond, to Kurtaran Ev, which lends a helping hand to our friends in need like Gufi. Because we know that there are thousands of animals like Gufi in need of love and protection in our country. By purchasing this special collection, you can support Kurtaran Ev and touch the life of an animal. Each purchase will help one of our friends find a safer home. We thank you!

Efes Antik Kent

The ancient city of Ephesus

Hi! Today I am reaching you from Selçuk. I'm here for a residency program. I can say that it is a working and sharing program for reading and writing in places we have determined. I will share it in more detail in the coming weeks, but E fes The things that caught my eye while visiting the Ancient City made me feel that we somehow reflected a place I had never been to before in our designs, so I would like to briefly explain why this place impressed me. Ephesus The Ancient City is not known as a city built specifically by women, according to legends and findings. B.C. In stories dating back to the 6th century I actually knew that there were many different stories and legends about the founding and early history of Ephesus . However, there are mythological stories or legends about warrior women communities such as Amazon women, and the legends depict the strength and warrior spirit of these women in the founding of this place. As I enter and walk, the motifs impress me. As I progress, a simple flower pattern turns into huge structures, as if the continuous development of an embroidery. It feels good for me to see the motifs I love so much here and to reflect a history. I enjoy the moment as I walk rather than the history of this place. I recommend you to first experience what you feel in the places you visit.
