relating to a hip fashion label
Dear translators,
I am new to Proz.com and hope you can help me with an English to Dutch translation! In an advertising text for a fashion label I have the following sentence:
"In Spring ..., we will celebrate what it means to be in this thing together".
The first thing that comes to mind is "in hetzelfde schuitje", but that sounds so negative when in fact it is supposed to be a positive call for togetherness and creativity. The tone of the text is informal and the target audience are hip, young people. Any suggestions??
Thank you so much!

: of 'met z'n allen' - Dat idee om er met z’n allen voor te gaan, ben ik nu kwijt. En dat is jammer. http://www.nu.nl/achterklap/2854604/nance-coolen-mist-televi... Verder Google 'met z'n allen voor te gaan'

"we doen het met elkaar"
Are we in this thing alone... or are we in it together?
Staan we hier alleen in, of doen we dit met elkaar?
But the one thing both of us have to remember is that we are in this together, OK?
Maar we mogen niet vergeten dat we in hetzelfde schuitje zitten

: zeker niet 'het' (een jonge hippe groep die het met elkaar doet is wel erg gezellig!) maar 'dit' kan wel.

: wat mij betreft beter je eerste optie ("samen sterk"). De kracht van het samenzijn klinkt me wat te evangelistisch!
