Social Fashion x ART HELPS
SOCIAL FASHION — WEAR CHANGE
At 1C1Y, fashion isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about attitude. As a German fashion start-up rooted in timeless fashion and Italian chic, we combine elegant streetwear with a clear purpose: to create pieces that not only look good but do good.
What Is Social Fashion?
Social Fashion is more than a trend. It’s a movement that merges chic, sustainable style with social responsibility. Every piece carries not just a design story, but a mission.
Every fashion item directly supports social projects, working towards a better world. This isn’t a side campaign. It’s part of our business model. In our case, every 1C1Y piece funds creative education projects for children in need.
OUR PARTNER: ART HELPS
"Art is a language. A language everyone understands. It doesn’t need rules or words — and yet it can be so powerful it changes the world." - ART HELPS founder Tom Lupo
That’s the philosophy of ART HELPS — a non-profit and our closest partner. They give socially disadvantaged children worldwide a chance to dream, express themselves, and build confidence through art.
Through workshops and projects in places like refugee camps in Iraq or disadvantaged neighborhoods in Germany, ARTHELPS provides safe spaces for kids to unlock their creativity. Your contributions are currently supporting a project in Iraq, helping the children of a refugee camp to dream and imagine beyond their devastating situation.

Your Impact
Every 1C1Y product includes a minimum donation of €30 to ART HELPS. That money funds workshops, art materials, and safe creative spaces for children living in difficult circumstances.
It’s a small price for a big impact.
WHY IT MATTERS
We believe beauty isn’t just about looks — it’s about restoring hope and creating a better tomorrow. Blind consumerism leaves us empty, but Social Fashion invites us to be part of something meaningful.
1C1Y makes it simple to help. Shop our latest collection, and with each piece, you support a child’s future.
