Cosma Shiva Hagen designed for armedangels

After Johanna Klum and the beautiful TV presenter Collien Fernandes, actress and Fair-Trade-ambassador Cosma Shiva Hagen (daughter of famous Nina Hagen) also supports the social fashion label armedangels (located in Cologne/Germany) with a specially designed Fairtrade T-shirt and upgrades the list of collaborations with popular german celebrities.

The result is a shirt that enriches the range of the social fashion label in the most beautiful  way
and, like all other designs of the innovative brand, it is:
AGAINST: exploitation, pollution and child labor!
PRO: green lifestyle and nice shirts!

"Since 2007 I am committed for the organization “TransFair”, because I think it's enormously important that people no longer be exploited for their hard work and a corresponding wage is obtained. During my stay in Burkina Faso, I could get a picture of the spot and even talked to the cotton farmers, in order to learn about the production.
With my own t-shirt design with armedangels, I can now protest for a fairer cotton trade and use it against the generally prevailing throwaway mentality. Because the issue of sustainability  is also very dear to my heart," says Cosma Shiva Hagen, who also works for organizations such as “Go Ahead! e.V. - Education for Africa” and perfectly fits armedangels.
"I already follow the development of the label since its inception. I'm a fan right from the start, and have a lot of armedangels items in my wardrobe. Some of the highlights of the current collection will be displayed in my bar “sichtbar” in Hamburg/Germany in the near future."

Cosma’s Tunic-Shirt "Peace and Light” shines with fresh colors, a feminine silhouette
and, like all armedangels creations, it was manufactured under the best conditions:
 100% Organic, 100% Fairtrade, 0% child labor.

It´s available from 1^st of May 2010 for  49.90 Euro at the online store of armedangels & friends on www.armedangels.de.

For every shirt sold, 1 Euro will support one of three different aid projects.
When purchasing, the customer can decide whether it’s going to support the organization “Pratham eV”, “Viva con Agua” or "Trinkwasserwald eV".

Trier // Trèves

Welcome to my hometown, Trier/Germany!
It´s hard to take Streetstyle-pics over here....
But may I tell you: the STREETS, yea the streets AND buildings, they have style.
Going for a walk over here is like traveling through history.


According to the Gesta Treverorum, the city was founded by Trebeta, an Assyrian prince, centuries before ancient Rome. The Roman Empire subdued the Treveri in the 1st century BC and established Augusta Treverorum (Lit: August (Regal, noble) [City] of the Treveri) in 30 BC. The name is likely to be taken from the title Augustus held by the Princeps or head of state at the time, Augustus Caesar. The city later became the capital of the Roman province of Gallia Belgica, as well as the Roman prefecture of Gaul. The Porta Nigra counts among the Roman architecture of the city. A residence of the Western Roman Emperor, Roman Trier was the birthplace of Saint Ambrose. In 395 the Roman administration abandoned the city, leaving the locals to their own defense; this marked the end of the effective authority of the Empire in Gaul..
