Dawid Tomaszewski's 'Apocalypse' Collection

Berlin Fashion Week kicked off on January 18 and will continue until the 21st. During this time, fifteen shows will take place. It is expected that over 200,000 visitors will be in the city for the shows, which is the largest estimated number of visitors for Berlin's Fashion Week since it began in 1902.

Berlin Fashion Week always starts new trends. Since there are many fashion schools in the city, there are always new designers working. Along with having tons of new designers, Berlin also boasts a lot of variety in their shows, so there is always a show that will go along with your individual style and budget.

One designer making a splash in Berlin is Dawid Tomaszewski, who entitled his new collection "Apocalypse." This collection is all about destruction, death, and rebirth, and the theme shows in the clothing and makeup, pictured above. The collection was inspired by John Martin's paintings of natural disasters and the Last Judgement as it was depicted in the Bible.

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.
