Fashion that shows attitude - and creates movement

But brands4future is more than fashion. It is born from a movement that inspires and activates: walk4future-REthink Fashion

  • WALK TOGETHER: walking together - virtually or in real life - to keep moving mentally and physically.
  • EVOLVE TOGETHER: live, consume and decide more consciously - for yourself and for society.

INVEST BETTER - Money is personal power

The initiative calls for this, less for superfluous items and more for valuable items to spend:

  • Invest in yourself: Education, further development, mental strength.
  • Invest in better products: produced fairly, ethically and responsibly.

The official Launch of brands4future takes place on November 15, 2025 takes place.

Together we RISE: Becoming effective - changing the world

Play Video

On the occasion of the 50th episode of 22 Minutes to RISE, the podcast for a successful life, and my role as Ball ambassador, I have a particularly fitting conversation:

Diversity Ball-mother Monika Haider and campaign maker and photographer Elisabeth Lechner.

It is again about the big topic of "effectiveness" - how we can influence this world to make it the one that suits us. Monika Haider has been campaigning for the integration of disabled people for decades and has been instrumental in the development of many a law; Elisabeth Lechner is constantly involved in her own projects for a fairer world, sometimes working in secret and invisible to the public, but essential for those involved.

  • How do you find the strength to keep going?
  • How do the "beneficiaries" of a commitment sometimes sabotage themselves and what could we all benefit from if there were more of them?

Exciting answers and personal insights from two great women.

The big vision is that together we will become a real market power

walk4future - REthink Fashion becomes a platform with a claim to power

In a long overdue conversation with Slow Fashionista Susanne Barta For FRANZ MAGAZINE, I was finally able to set out my grand vision. We are working hard behind the scenes, a big launch is imminent - and all this is based on a very specific claim to power.

Because yes, I admit: I am a power person. I love to MAKE things happen. I hate heteronomy and especially when it's unfair. When values are shifted in favor of unvalues.

The power of women: In conversation with Barbara Klinka-Ghezzo

Play Video
  • How do you position yourself as a woman in a male domain?
  • How do women appear in order to be seen and heard?
  • What do women need to voluntarily step out of the shadow of the second row?
  • What do women need to learn to be successful?

I put these and many other questions to Barbara Klinka-Ghezzo, Managing Director of CONFARE GmbH, in this fascinating interview at one of Vienna's most beautiful locations.

My enthusiasm for some statements has not diminished even after listening to them for the 10th time.

I am curious to know which ones YOU find particularly valuable and, above all, we are interested in your answer to my final question.

walk4future - launch of an international movement against fast fashion

Press release

Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey, known as the first Best Ager finalist at Germany's Next Topmodel, achieved with her project walk4future another milestone: after covering around 1,500 kilometers from Klosterneuburg to Paris on foot alone in 2024, the second edition in May 2025 became an international community campaign.

More than 60 participants from Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland - and even the USA - took part in the "walk&save" challenge virtually. Together, they covered almost 5,500 kilometers and gave up fast fashion and unnecessary purchases for a month. The result: a saving of around 9,000 euros - i.e. an average of around 140 euros per person.

"This money can be invested in better clothes, education or simply in good times - for yourself or with others," says Gleissenebner-Teskey. At the same time, this is just the "tip of the iceberg": a sign of the growing self-determination of those consumers who no longer allow themselves to be told what they need - but make conscious decisions for quality and enjoyment of life.

The initiator's vision is ambitious - and measurable:
"Only 25 % of the population can initiate social change. In Germany, that would be 21 million people. If each of them spent 100 euros more consciously every month, we would move 2 billion euros. That is real market power."

Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey speaks not only as a model, but also as an ecologist, communication scientist, coach and activist. Back in 1998, she organized the first "Trade Fair for Sustainable Lifestyles" in Austria - with great idealism, but also financial losses. After an international corporate career as a brand manager, the founding of a successful coaching business and her participation in GNTM on her 50th birthday, she now uses her fame to inspire people to more self-determination and sustainable consumption.

"The greatest power lies in our decisions: Where do we direct attention, energy - and money? What I choose grows," she explains.

walk4future aims to start right here: with the psychology of everyday consumption. The walk4future playfully invites people to break through routines - with movement, reflection and exchange. The aim is to build a strong, internationally networked community that consciously uses its consumer power - for itself, for others, for a better future.

And it goes on: The next walk4future campaigns will take place as early as fall 2025.

Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey will be happy to answer any queries or interview requests.

Between heaven and earth: nature as a co-coach

Play Video

While you're watching this video podcast, I'm already on my way to Amsterdam, the first stop on my walk4future 2025. First of all, I will be attending a conference on sustainable materials here and then I will be leaving here on May 1st to head back to Frankfurt.

So this is the perfect time to talk about the possibility of seeing nature as a coach or at least incorporating it into a coaching session. I spoke to systemic coach Ingrid Mülleder, who shares some exciting scientific findings with us and gives specific tips on how you can use nature to work on issues and make progress in every area of your life.

Let the nature shots in the background inspire and relax you. It has been scientifically proven that even just looking at a picture of nature has a positive, balancing effect.

As always, you can also listen to the podcast - wherever there are podcasts.

walk4future 2025: Why from Amsterdam to Lodz?

Many people have asked me how the route of this year's walk4future came about.

  • Didn't I want to go around the world once?
  • Didn't I want to cross the pond to the USA?

As always and everywhere, I asked myself the question of meaning.

You can read the thoughts on this at https://walk4future.com/blog/ read more.

What ultimately tipped the scales were two cornerstones and a big anchor in between: my community, which is simply greater in Germany (besides Austria) than anywhere else in the world. And that's why I hope for beautiful, invigorating and inspiring encounters from time to time.

The two corner points between which the walk is suspended are as follows:

1. the Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference, from 29.4. - 30.4. in Amsterdam

I am convinced that the sustainable future of fashion lies in the development of new materials (as one of 3 B-pillars: 1. better production, 2. more conscious consumption, 3. biodegradable materials). That's why this conference is a must for me.

2. the Urban Future Conference from May 21-23 in Lodz

Because by then I had wandered through some of the most important cities in the fashion and finance industry and had a few ideas on the subject of "walkable cities = sustainable cities" have to contribute.
