Save The Date: COLLECT Showroom

COLLECT unterstützt die herausragenden lokalen Modetalente hinsichtlich Publicity

und Verkauf.  Der Showroom ist mittlerweile bekannt als ein Ort, an dem man

heimische Designer abseits des hektischen Treibens der Modewoche entdecken kann. 

Das als Location gewählte Gebäude L40 spiegelt den urbanen Lebensstil wider, von dem sich viele am Event beteiligte Designer inspirieren ließen.

Wir freuen uns auf den Besuch bei COLLECT und wünschen Arne und seinem Team viel Erfolg! 

ESMOD talents rock

Last night was a delight. So much creativity and hard work. This year' ESMOD graduate show was one of the best we have seen. Congrats to the talented winner of the Golden Needle award Marina Abrenz, you might be the next Agent Provocateur, not-so-mainstream, cooler and edgier though.

Here is the first snapshot and a few looks we like very much. Retro Crameri, Adrian Voß, Elisabeth Joost and Alice Clermont. Watch these names!

The stage design deserves a special note. The audience was part of the show and the guests were seated directly on the very stage that is normally reserved for professional dancers and performers of the Friedrichstadt Palast crew. Our fashionable Midsummer Night's Dream, fullfilled. Thank you Esmod and fashion patrons.

BERLIN CATWALKS - the story behind and the life after..

Berlin is considered to be up and coming fashion hub holding its own fashion weeks and giving home to many designers and artists. Trade fairs, fashion shows, streetstyle blogs are all part of the constantly changing exiting German capital expected by many to be the next New York.

Journalist Natasha Binar and designer Katia Mossina have joned creative forces and wrote (another) fashion book. The duo talked to designers, photographers, stylists and trade show organizers to listen to their personal stories; they visited showrooms and attended catwalk shows, checked the shops and travelled around the city to capture everything worth knowing about the hype, mythos and reality in and around fashion in Berlin.

Shopping tips, exclusive interviews and portraits (stylist Julia Freitag and designers Leyla Piedayesh, Fiona Bennett and Michael Michalsky, publisher Nadine Barth, journalist Ana Finel

Honigman, sugahigh’ creative director Alonso Dominguez, among others), useful listing of fashion design schools and courses...A special chapter is dedicated to emerging media and fashion- and lifestyle blogs.

The book wil be released on June 24th. However our journey does not stop here; that's why we have decided to start (another) blog dedicated to the life after. We want you to be part of it; and there are so many beautiful and funny moments of "making of" ( aka writing the book ) that we would like to share... let's get it started!

Yours,

Natasha & Katia
