The first-hand fashion industry is not only creating modern-day vage slavery but is fueling the climate crisis. The resources that fast fashion is consuming are immoral and our consumer behavior needs to change! „uPSYcle the system“ is creating a circular economy yes fashion produced under fair conditions and using up-cycled materials!

My art is political trying to laugh at very serious issues and therefore transcend the fear. Or it is reflecting the psychedelic beauty of nature. You can purchase the prints in our shops on the markets in Berlin, in the store in Vienna (Aurin-shop), or in our Etsy shop.

Malawi is in need of jobs not only any job but jobs that are paid fair and on top of that are good for the environment. „Upsycle the system“ is dedicated to creating jobs on an even bigger scale in the future as of now we work together with a hand full of individuals in Malawi's capital Lilongwe.

None of our tailors are working for the minimum wage and food and transport are paid for them. On top of that, they can choose for themselves if they want to work 5 days a week or 6. In the case of an operation or health emergency, we will have their back and pay for the medical expenses.

By 2023 our goal is to have a small factory in Malawi where our clothes are manufactured and women in need of jobs are being trained in tailor skills by our professional tailors. Everyone will get a working contract and medical insurance.

Each trip to Malawi is combined with social endeavors such as brining education, helping people in need, and planting trees. To sustain this projects I collected donations from my friend in the past and want to start collecting donations also from people who I don’t know in the future. You get my word and G-D is my witness that 100% of your donations arrive at the people in need. My last trips to Malawi and the social missions are all documented on my private Facebook account. In the future, we want to guarantee every customer that if they spend more than 50 euros on our company a fruit tree is gonna be planted for them in Malawi. This mission will be shown publicly and transparent for everyone to see on our social media and our webpage.

In my free time, I am trying my best to raise awareness of social issues but especially the climate crisis. I have been part of taking on actions with „extinction rebellion“, „Fridays for future“, religions for future“and much more. I hope that my company will make a change in consumer awareness and maybe encourage other people to join the climate justice movement which will lead to global social justice!
