Berlin Fashion Week

Berlin Fashion Week, hosted by Mercedes-Benz Fashion week and held twice a year, is running Wednesday through Sunday. This event is ideal for emerging fashion designers who have trouble getting their collection to be seen in more mainstream fashion events. Austrian designer Lena Hoschek is showcasing her vintage collection, which draws inspiration from the forties and fifties on a more subtle note, due to the economic downturn.

Noir is another collection that will be showcased during this fashion-filled week. In the collection, you will witness the journey of an unknown woman and her suitcases. The silhouettes are long and lean, emphasizing the female body. The detailed hardware found on the outside and inside of suitcases was a key piece in the collections. The color stories also came from the tapestries typically found when viewing old suitcases.
