Above the clouds with Karen Fleischmann
Once you’ve discovered the new lightness, you won’t want to be without it. Karen Fleischmann thinks so, too. She campaigns for sustainable fashion. On her terrace, high above the rooftops of Zurich, she shows us how best to combine the clean looks.

Karen Fleischmann, why do you campaign for sustainable fashion?
«As a model, I see behind the scenes of the textile industry and I soon realised how much needed to be improved. So I started to promote sustainable fashion on Instagram as the Sustainable Fashion Activist, highlighting exciting solutions and alternatives.»
It’s currently all about «Mix & Match». What styling tips can you give us?
«I love simplicity. That’s why I swear by stylish, highquality basics and add highlights like great jackets, unusual shoes and colourful accessories.»
What makes a great summer look for you?
«I like jumpsuits and dresses with colourful prints, made from light materials. Combined with vintage, 70s-style pieces, they create the perfect retro look.»
The «Superlight» loungewear styles by CALIDA would work well with that.
«Absolutely. I noticed that as soon as I wore them – the fabrics are so comfortable and give you a feeling of lightness and freedom. That suits me perfectly, as I’m
on the go a lot.»
