Again and again I come back from the Fashion Week and am maximum thrilled, there are great, sustainable concepts. Young designers who are devoted to this issue in the same intensity as established names. Exciting projects from different universities and German designers, who do not talk about sustainability, because it is natural for them to deal respectfully with humans and the environment. My Berlin Fashion Week review with interviews, impressions and discoveries I can not accommodate in a single post. Therefore here the overview of the first informations and images, which is gradually supplemented by links to the individual topics.
Berlin Fashion Week: Review – an Overview
European Fashion Awards
My personal kick-off event was the European Fashion Award, which has ushered in the Fashion Week on Monday night with six incredibly creative collections of students at the New Museum on the Museum Island. Regardless of the actual winners I have summarized my highlights. Here are the highlights of the European Fashion Awards
Fairfashion in the Greenshowroom
In the Greenshowroom, the hotspot for sustainable Fashion at Postbahnhof, I had the opportunity to speak with the great founders of Nine to Five (Sandra Schittkowski), O MY BAG (Paulien Wesselink), Deepmello (Dr. Anne Christin Bansleben) and Flavia Aranha. In addition, I was able to attend the illustrious bustle before the Salonshow in the backstage area and had a long chat with Magdalena Schaffrin the Greenshowroom founder. The interviews I will gradually provide online. To my favorite Fairfashion Labels on here
