Many pieces gave the same impression one gets from traditional colorful Tibetan ceremonial clothing, but with 1980′s touches, as seen most clearly in the color choices, tight fits, and shoulder embellishments. … Continue Reading

Frida Weyer presented her first solo collection in the historic Chamäleon Varieté Theater, at the Hackesche Höfe, during the second day of Berlin Fashion Week. The former ballroom from the golden age of art nouveau, with its striking 1920′s charm, was a perfect stage for the dramatic new collection.

Weyer has immediately found her niche, with this high-end line of extravagant gowns. Showing this remarkably coherent first collection, one wonders what the young designer could accomplish with an established house behind her. … Continue Reading

Berlin Fashion Week is only a few seasons old, and the industry there is still finding its global voice and international footing. Each year they seem to get better, but the first day of presentations for the Spring-Summer 2010 collections proved very disheartening for those of us hoping this will be the season where Berlin became relevant in the global fashion scene. The only coherent collection on the Berlin runway for Day One was by GANT, a US sportswear company (see the runway show video on their web site). … Continue Reading
