"The most successful designers translated aspects of Germany’s town-and-country aesthetic into contemporary collections that had a salable appeal. Scherer González did luxe dressage with sheared mink capelets, herringbone jodhpurs, riding coats and extravagant evening showstoppers that, this season, had a tasteful appeal."
Raved the New York Times about the Fashion Week in Berlin that occurred only a few month ago. It also discussed the change in Berlin into a more "Project Runway" of the city. The people who often attended the show and were captivated by the art of clothing that the incredible designers displayed but rather were caught up in the hype of the fashion world. This is something very typical of American fashion shows and the American fashion culture as well. This is another example of not only the international aspect of fashion as whole but the Germany shift to an American style atmosphere
As I continued to search about information about the Berlin Fashion scene I also found a conflicting viewpoint. An article from the spirit of Berlin talks about Berlin being one of the most innovative catwalks in the world. They provided clips from Fashion shows that showcased these abstract ideas and unconventional catwalk show. The use tactic with a lot of accessories such as umbrellas and blowing the audience kisses which is commonly frowned upon in the high fashion world of rail thin angry looking models on the US.
Overall Berlin seems to be the center of not only discussion on fashion but a place that will be rapidly changing and is always active in the fashion culture.
Nice collections...
