Swedish fashion label Schnayderman introduces its new DTMF collection, empowered by a charitable angle. The main inspiration behind the apparel is the slogan “touche pas à mon pote," which stems from an anti-racist perspective and directly translates to "don't touch my friend." This community-baring slogan is accompanied by a special symbol in the shape of a hand. The symbol is incorporated in an outline imagery around the slogan in either black, white, or orange. The silhouettes include button-up shirts, long sleeve shirts, and tote bags.
Joel Urqitz of Schnayderman expresses his positive feelings towards the new DTMF collection, as it "stands firmly against all kinds of intolerance and unifies us to embrace individuality and diversity.” Notably, for each item sold, the label will donate €10 to 'My Dream Now,' which is an organization that fights segregation.
