Our cities are full of stores selling fashion and design, but 99, 9 % of them are offering mass-produced products. We want to change that. JF Curated is a global platform, curating a selection of global conscious designers. We want to show the world that fashion and sustainability is a match in heaven, not opposites.  La oss fortelle deg litt mer om bedriften. JF Curated har vært drevet av et lidenskapelig og ambisiøst team fra 2013. Ved å gjøre prosessen sakte har firmaet lagt et solid fundament og en sterk merkevare i et lite men sterkt voksende segment, den miljøinteresserte fashionistaen. Grunnlegger Marte Djupesland, medeier Iselin Schumba og Thomas Bergersen er de tre som i dag legger mest tid og krefter ned i den daglige driften, mens et kompetent styre og advisory board følger opp i bakhånd. JF Curated’s bidrag til en bedre verden er å involvere seg på et dypere plan. Å koble designere med et nytenkende og grønt mindset, ikke bare med kunder, men også seg imellom. Ved å lage gode verktøy og muligheter for samarbeid, styrkes ikke bare den bærekraftige moten, men også muligheten for å leve av dette for hver og en designer. Vi tar masseproduksjonen ut av moten og gir rom for kvalitet og talent. Gjennom bruk av teknologi og kommunikasjon skal vi nå skalere og skape et globalt engasjement for den bærekraftige uavhengige moten. Vår fysiske butikk i Prinsensgate er et viktig tilskudd til online universet, og å knytte de to, fysisk og digitalt, sammen, er viktig for oss.

GIRL CRUSH is a creative agency working with social media, videoproduction and photography. In addition we have a web magazine trying to inspire girls to follow their dreams! In 2018/19 we are also launching a new co working space designed and specialized for our target audiance.Our clients are companies, PR-agencies, influencers and webshops.We thrive to encourage girls and women to be authentic, brave, curious, openminded and supportive! Our agency is also a community with values we believe is very important in order to pursue our ambitions in the social media world. Having been sister rivals in the childhood we eventually found out that values and goals were and are the same, and for a long time we dreamt of working together, whether it should be the start of a different online magazine for women, fashion design or advertising. We see the final pieces fall into place, and found that working with content creation for social media is where we can complement each other in the best possible way.  GIRL CRUSH wants to encourage women to not compare, we must stop feeling threatened by others we think are better than ourselves. "It's strange to say out loud, but my ideal of beauty is myself at my best. I would imagine that this summer I'll have tighter thighs and a little more bouncy ass, but I'm still ME. Jessica Alba is the prettiest woman I've ever seen, but I am not supposed to look like her."  There is no doubt that there are fewer female entrepreneurs in our country, and one of the most stupid causes of it, is that girls and women are each others' worst enemies. "In connection with a job interview, I took a personality test that shows that I am extremely individualist, ie; I prefer to do things alone, and choose to rely on my own skills and instincts rather than seek contact with other people. I know what I'm good at. I want to be independent and autonomous, thrive alone in a private company and have from time to time some good moments with confidence on top and think I can do everything by myself (remember that self-esteem and self-confidence is not the same). But now I have realized that this 'trait' (which I until now, have called it), is not particularly lucky if I want to achieve something in life. I will not stand alone. Why should I, when I know that together with other good people (especially women), we can accomplish so much more? I would rather ask myself; What can I do to encourage and embrace women around me? Is it possible that someone needs my help? When was the last time I did something meaningful for another woman in my industry? And as journalist Lindsey Saletta wrote in an article; is there anything inside me holding me back from supporting women? " says co-founder Siri. And at last, we want to explore the beauty inside women, we want to encourage women to be comfortable within themselves and not strive perfection! #selflove

Water is circular by nature, and fluent by design. Water is the infrastructure that connects everything from societies to fragile ecosystems. Water has the ability to hide secrets in the abyss and show you picture perfect landscapes in the upside world. Sildr grew out of this vision that water is a commodity accessible for everyone. Back in the days public water access was a symbol of how far your civilization had evolved. The aqueducts in Roman times, and the hanging gardens in the Mayan Civilization was a symbol of greatness. But time has the ability to fade societies memory, and now water access is merely a domestic issue in your home. But even in their own home, many people can´t enjoy clean water from their tap. These days the masses buy the illusion of purity, trapped in small bottles for big profits. Water has no master, and it is every living organisms natural born right to enjoy free of charge.We are developing drinking fountains that got the looks and the brains to redefine public water access for the 21st century.
