This Christmas We Dress IN LOVE – With Wearable Poetry By Love Author Mirjam Grupp
Who can't use some extra emotional support in the year 2020?
Right in time to hug us during the holiday season, writer Mirjam Grupp launched a new edition of Wearable Poetry titled IN LOVE.
IN LOVE consists of heavy organic cotton sweatshirts with slogans that support their wearers in supporting themselves. And, let’s be honest, who can't use some extra emotional support in the year 2020?
The sustainability of the production process is followed by emotional sustainability in the wearing process. Mirjam: “IN LOVE is designed to empower yourself – to literally put on the self-responsibility to live from a place of love – or return to it. Being in love is a state of mind – whether you are single or with a partner. And so these sweatshirts are for everyone.”

The slogans WOMAN IN LOVE, MAN IN LOVE, HUMAN IN LOVE and AN OPEN HEART IS BULLETPROOF are a manifestation that love surrounds us all, and a reminder to love ourselves. They come either with a soft velvet touch or they glow in the dark. All pieces are hand-printed by Mirjam in a Berlin lab.
The writer who loves fashion started Wearable Poetry in December 2017 in Paris when working on a book about the transformational power of almost love stories. “Writing a book is a beautiful process. But it is also a lengthy one and, at the end of a day, you can’t really touch your work. And I missed that.”
So she started stitching self-love poetry on vintage knitwear. The pieces grew into a collection, and in 2019 Mirjam presented the PRELOVED edition in Berlin. “Stitching for me is like writing – just with a needle instead of a pen.” The same goes for printing.
The launch of the IN LOVE sweaters is accompanied by a love interview series. Inspiring personalities open up about the various faces and phases of love. Wearable Poetry is supported by inspiring humans and an incubator program for a sustainable and equitable fashion industry by UNwomen.
We think those sweaters make a great comforter, and a perfect gift!
