MESSAGEBerlin Fashion Week is famous for being a superb showcase for the latest trends and innovations in the fashion world. Emerging and established labels alike use our Fashion Week as a platform. Designers from all over the world show their newest creations here, as do some of Berlin’s young, up-and-coming labels, which are taking this opportunity to introduce themselves to a wide audience for the first time.

Like our city itself, Fashion Week stands for internationality and open-mindedness, but especially for creativity and inno-vation. It creates the ideal setting for the fashion industry to exchange ideas and start joint projects.

I am confident that this event will have abundant inspiration to offer this year, too. With that in mind, I would like to wish all of its visitors an exciting time in Berlin, thought-provo-king encounters, and every success at Fashion Week.

Another brand in the field, Rimowa, this year introduced its Electronic Tag. It allows air passengers to check in easily either from home or on the move together with their lug-gage. An exclusive collaboration with the Luf-thansa app allows air passengers to transfer details via Bluetooth from their smartphone directly to their item of luggage fitted with the Rimowa Electronic Tag.

Interiors have gone back to brash: colours, patterns and understated luxury merge with sophisti-cated interior decoration; expressive living concepts combine with urban design. In interior design a waning number of uniform trends are being increasingly replaced by living concepts that focus on individuality and personal touches. From outlandish one-off pieces to eccentric combinations – here eye-catching designs are confidently used to set the scene. It’s all showcased in the new book ‘Kaleidoscope’ from German publisher Gestalten. w w w . s h o p . g e s t a l t e n . c o m

We met up with Claudia Hofmann, FCG Executive Board Member – responsible for Education –, and Thorsten Minder-mann, Country Manager at H&M Germany. We are the first magazine to speak with them both about their new business partnership and the significance this has for each party.

What was the driving force behind H&M’s decision to form a partnership with Fashion Council Germany?THORSTEN MINDERMANN: We are obviously aware of and monitor Fashion Council Germany’s dedication and place a lot of value on this commitment. As part of our partnership with them, we want to join forces to support German designers here in Germany. The ‘Fellowship Programme by the Fashion Coun-cil Germany and H&M’ has been set up to give individual sup-port to aspiring designers throughout Germany, to open doors and to act as a presentation platform.CLAUDIA HOFMANN: We are delighted by H&M’s commit-ment to accompanying us on our journey for two years. Together we have created a comprehensive and sustainable programme for future Fellows.

What level of importance does the Education sector hold at H&M?THORSTEN MINDERMANN: Promoting new talent is enor-mously important at H&M – we demonstrate this on a global scale with our Design Award; and on a local scale with our partnership with Fashion Council Germany. The ‘Fellowship Programme by the Fashion Council Germany and H&M’ is a further step in fulfilling our social responsibility on a local level here in Germany. We are therefore very happy to be able to help young designers to develop and build their brands, promote their creativity and encourage them.

When does the partnership begin?CLAUDIA HOFMANN: The partnership will begin on 1 July 2016. The application phase for the programme runs from mid-July to the end of August; the Fellowship Programme will then start in January 2017 with the announcement of the Fellows. We are delighted to have Christiane Arp chairing the jury for us.

What does the programme include on the part of H&M?THORSTEN MINDERMANN: With the programme we have developed H&M offers the designers the opportunity to gain exclusive insights into the world of H&M. On the programme, the designers will get to experience working in the various dif-ferent parts of our business. The different business areas that the

talented young designers will pass through both within and outside Ger-many include the Merchandising, Buying Office, Produc-tion and Sustainability departments. They will be exposed to both international expertise and practical business knowledge. This is where individual needs regarding the development and expansion of their own brands will be taken into account. The knowledge will be transmitted via three disciplines, each with their own orientation: Leadership & Self Discovery, Theoretical Skills/Supply Chain and From Idea to Realisation. We believe in continued support and hope that the designers will gain visibility that will help them to find their feet in the design world.

How did you manage to hold such an important position within a global player at such a young age? Did you receive support as well? I started out working in an H&M store in Bremen on a flexible hours contract basis in 1989 and have worked at H&M ever since – with a break for my business school studies. Lots of different people encouraged and motivated me along the way. The trust that my colleagues at H&M placed in me inspired me simply to try things out. I can therefore say from personal experience that the people whom you meet along the way are really important for your journey.

Has FCG got further announcements to make?CLAUDIA HOFMANN: Yes, we are going to continue with the mentoring programme in collaboration with the Berlin Sen-ate Department for Economics, Technology and Research that we started in 2015 with our mentees Nobieh Talaei and Marina Hoermanseder, and bring another design talent on board until the end of this year.A highlight of Berlin Fashion Week is the “Sustainability & Style” presentation at the U.S. Embassy. The United States of America’s Ambassador, John B. Emerson, along with his wife, Mrs. Kimberly M. Emerson, will be hosting “A cultural bridge between German fashion talents and U.S. designers”. Instigated and presented by Fashion Council Germany and Vogue Ger-many. We can announce that the first members will include Bogner, Bikini Berlin, Swarovski, Axel Springer, Condé Nast, PREMIUM, SEEK and BRIGHT, H&M, Munich Fabric Start, Messe Frankfurt, Modehaus Fischer and Michael Berner.

THE GIRL WHO WENT FORTH

TO LEARN by Janine Dudenhöffer

“Do something stable” was the advice of-fered to Mareike by her family back in Münsterland. And so she did, embarking on a career in contract furnishing at a design company. Although ideal for a tal-ented craftsperson such as Mareike, her heart just wasn’t in it. In 2009 she fol-lowed her dream of studying at Berlin’s University of Applied Sciences (HTW). Her final-year collection was inspired by Alma Mahler-Werfel, the greatest femme fatale of the 20th century. A strong woman. Narcissistic. A striver. Ambivalent in her life choices. Mareike drew lines as well as parallels. Last year she entered the Peek & Cloppenburg ‘Designer for Tomorrow’ award with her collection – and won. The one-year sponsorship programme included a trip to New York where Mareike was able to catch a glimpse inside the world of designer and ‘DfT’ award patron Zac Posen, who impressed her not just in terms of style but with his

relaxed attitude to the media, in par-ticular. Next came a two-month intern-ship with Jake’s Collection in Dusseldorf where she designed a denim ensemble. The crowning glory, however, is that the German fashion house is now sponsor-ing her next collection, which she will present at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin at the end of June. This time her inspiration is the furniture of Italian designer and architect Carlo Bugatti, whose salon furnishings she discovered in Berlin’s Museum of Decorative Arts.

Mareike hopes to use the collection to approach a range of companies. “Being self-employed isn’t for me. I’d rather explore other options,” explains this realist, who knows how to break through rigidity – such as that of a piece of furniture – with momentum. Her passion for craftsman-ship and design will give her exactly what she’s after: “A job that makes me happy!”

"WORDS INSPIRE ME"ALBER ELBAZ, THE NEW PATRON OF THE FASHION TALENT AWARD “DESIGNER FOR TOMORROW 2016”

by Anita Tillmann

ow do you go about designing a new collection?A white, blank page… the most difficult stage in the design process. I don’t have a formulaic way of starting each collection but I never start

with research and mood boards. Stories and words inspire me to start dreaming in my head to “fly”. Once I have the “story” of the collection – and it’s never a direct interpretation of the story but my own – I start to work with my team to realize it into 3D reality.

What are the biggest challenges that face a designer at the beginning of their career?Becoming too “commercial” to please everyone. It is very important to build a business

but first, you must have a strong voice of your own and a vision of what you are all about. Successful business is a reward for all the hard work, not the starting goal.

What are your specific criteria for assessing each designer’s collection?I never have any specific criteria but rely on my intuition. I’m more interested in if the designer can dream. Their potentials are more important to me than what they are actually doing now.

Which character must a designer have in order to create a recognizable face for a brand?To be an independent thinker with drive and passion to work hard to realize their dream.

What role does the designer play nowadays in creating a brand entity?I believe that the important changes in fashion will come with new technology. We, designers, need to embrace changes and the speed of the new technology. But the real revolution will happen when tradition, the knowhow, and the human touch of our industry and the newness of technology will become one. And we must continue to dream; dreams make us go forward, dreams make us run forever.

When a global brand such as Coca Cola approaches a south German blouse label about a possible col-laboration, even the label’s director in Stuttgart is left rubbing her eyes. When the call came from Atlanta, 0039Italy founder Aysen Bitzer was un-derstandably taken aback. “At first I thought they wanted to sell us Coke,” she recalls with a smile. Although Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs have been given permission to leave their mark on the iconic bottle, this is the first time that a German-based designer has been commissioned to design a capsule collection for Coca Cola. Bitzer’s first cat-walk collection will comprise 20 pieces and be sold in a maximum of ten stores throughout Europe,

although the focus is mainly on America and Asia, the team in Stuttgart explain. An accolade such as this, coming 16 years after the first ‘Carla’ tunic blouse, confirms their impression that German designers often receive more recognition abroad than at home. Bitzer, who now operates eleven flag-ship stores worldwide, is still ecstatic. “It’s fabu-lous,” she says. Everything will remain top secret in the run-up to the premiere on 29 June at the Fash-ion Week in Berlin. She could only offer one clue: the traditional Coke colours would be enhanced with a dash of pop art.

BLOUSE MEETS BEVERAGE

The Canadian label is kicking off the season with two icons – Micky Mouse and Hudson’s Bay Company. Paying homage to Walt Disney Design Studio, the brand presents a backpack, a pouch and a wallet that, alongside eye-catching images of the illustrated cartoon character, feature subtle prints of coordinates. What’s more, the archetypal colours of the now over 340-year-old Hudson’s Bay Company accentuate the silhouettes of one of Herschel’s luggage and children’s backpack lines. Let the holidays begin.

The high priest of photographic prints meets the world’s most indestructible watch: Marcelo Burlon is once again lending his talents to G-Shock, and this time he has created a new skin for the popular GA-100 watch – a snake-skin. Taking inspiration from his native Argentina, the snakeskin motif features heavily in Burlon’s ‘County of Milan’ collection. It’s a particularly effective way to underline the G-Shock’s durabil-ity: the power of the constrictor is every bit as legendary as the shock resistance offered by this Japanese timekeeper.

Marco Stein is striking out in a new direction. A successful sales pro-fessional in the premium and luxury segment for denim brands such as 7 for all mankind and J Brand, as well as advertising director at ‘GQ’, Stein is now turning his attention to new projects. With his own agency ‘Marco Stein Concepts’, he is developing concepts for the fashion industry and young designers. “There were many peop-le who helped me along the way during my career; I’d now like to give something back,” says Stein. The 48-year-old has been working in fashion for over two decades and has been able to grow a diverse an international network of buyers, salesman, manager, editor-in-chiefs and prominent figures. “I have always been more hard-working than others,” Stein says when describing his recipe for success. He

adds that he always thought outside the box and had an interest in other sectors. “I would now like to offer my expertise and my net-work to others,” he explains. The fashion expert’s mission is to build bridges. “Many retailers are in search of exciting new collections, but they often don’t trust young brands,” he explains. It is precisely this trust that he aims to build, starting with rising star Nobi Talai. The designer’s label is currently being promoted by the ‘Fashion Council Germany’ and Marco Stein is her mentor, helping her gain a firm foothold in the fashion world.

Building conceptual bridges

Although the bridge between the two styles has existed for sever-al years now, the overlap between streetwear sensibilities and high fashion has never been more evident. While it’s difficult to predict how long the synergy between these two areas will last, it’s clear that streetwear is a huge source of inspiration and a major influence for fashion ateliers today.

Streetwear isn’t a particularly easy term to define these days and, as a genre, streetwear has evolved to envelop influences from sports-wear, skate culture, sneaker culture, couture, workwear, vintage and more, amalgamating them into one category. High fashion is really only an example of one facet that makes up the homogeny of street-wear in 2016.

All in all, the trend is possibly best understood by examining sneaker culture. Many fashion brands like Lanvin, Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and other designer labels from around the world have broadened their footwear offering to include sneaker-inspired creations in their catalogue. For years, Nike’s Air Force 1 has been a staple of any street-wear fan’s wardrobe, and Givenchy and Céline are just two examples of brands that have riffed on this style, creating luxe counterparts of the beloved Air Force 1. On the same note, adidas is leading the way when it comes to reinforcing the connection between streetwear and high fashion, by working alongside designers like Rick Owens and Raf Simons. In fact, no brand is giving high fashion designers a platform to blend couture and streetwear in the same way that ‘Die Marke mit den drei Streifen’ (the brand with the three stripes) is.

THE ROMANCE BETWEEN STREETWEAR AND HIGH FASHION IS FAR PAST

ITS HONEYMOON PHASE

The collaborative “X” is obviously a telltale signifier that distinc-tions and barriers between high and low no longer exist to the extent that they once did, and the cherry-picking goes both ways; high fashion labels are just as eager to draw from streetwear aesthetics as streetwear and lifestyle brands are to work with the world’s best couture designers. Nike’s collaborative projects with Riccardo Tisci and, more recently, Olivier Rousteing constitute a mutually beneficial and sound co-op project, paying homage to basketball and football respectively, both of which are core to Nike’s DNA. More recently, Dior tapped Rihanna for a line of eyewear and the singer is also partnering with Puma on the successful Creeper silhouette, Chanel announced a project with Pharrell, and Kanye West created his high fashion-tilted ideas with the help of adidas’ factories. Another favourite to recall is Côte&Ciel x Y’s by Yohji Yamamoto. The “X” ultimately lends cool factor to brands that would otherwise seem unappealing or too aspirational for regular sneaker and streetwear fans.

At first, these collaborations between fashion brands and street-wear entities seemed clunky and undisguised. In 2001, many criticised Louis Vuitton for enlisting the work of artist Stephen Sprouse, when a range of Louis handbags were released, all em-blazoned with bright graffiti typography. One could make the case that Vuitton, under the direction of Marc Jacobs, was sim-ply exploiting this niche subculture and selling it to the French brand’s wealthy clientele. Today, a similar collaboration would not draw nearly the same criticism.

But sometimes the examples are more subtle, less commercial, and don’t fall under the title of an official collaboration. It could be as simple and organic as Kanye West shaving a Fendi logo into his head, or later on A$AP Rocky choosing to wear and therefore co-signing high fashion labels like Dries Van Noten, Balenciaga, Raf Simons, and others. In this vein, hip-hop has been a ma-jor conductor between fashion and what is typically considered

streetwear. While Kanye and Rocky’s names can certainly be credited, the list goes on to include the likes of Pharrell Williams, and Lil Wayne, while later on, artists like Wiz Khalifa and Future have championed this look. Let’s not forget when Jay Z caused a commotion with his Magna Carta Holy Grail cut “Tom Ford”. Furthermore, Pharrell illus-trating Chanel’s interlocking ‘C’ logo onto his wheat Timberlands was a moment to re-member, and something that foreshadowed future collaborations.

Outside of hip-hop, many credit Eugene Tong, the editor of men's magazine Details, with popularising the high-low blend. His ability to fuse fashion brands with sneakers and streetwear silhouettes like fitted caps and T-shirts certainly led the way for others. Not too long after, Swedish retailer Très Bien also became known for helping to bring at-tention to this high-low mix and put it on the map, not only through how owners Simon and Hannes Hogeman chose to style themsel-ves in sneakers and designer labels, but also through Très Bien’s brand list itself, which ranged from upscale ready-to-wear from the likes of Comme des Garçons and Maison Margiela, to more accessible labels like New Balance and Converse. In this way, it slowly came to pass that items that once belonged to streetwear – T-shirts and hoodies – are now seen on European and American runways ac-ross the board, twisted into elevated versions of simple designs.

Today, Gosha Rubchinskiy and Vetements are two of the names that are blurring the lines more than ever before, creating streetwear and sportswear-inspired garb that is sold at high fashion prices. Off-White is another prime example of streetwear styles reaching outward and upward, and Virgi Abloh’s brand commonly uses a graphic-based lan-guage with basic streetwear silhouettes, yet presented at fashion week and communicated to attract upmarket consumers. Although all three labels choose to showcase their designs on high fashion runways, Gosha, Off-White and Vetements are all heavily informed by streetwear, and fields that were once opposite seem to be drawing closer and closer.

Clearly, the term streetwear has never ser-ved to aptly describe the styles to which it is assigned, so maybe it’s time to broaden our vocabularies.

When the fashion people rendezvous together at PREMIUM at the end of June, they will feel completely at home in a hall dedicated to K-pop – as “fashion peo-ple” is the fashion buzzword of the moment in Korean. For the sake of simplicity it has been shortened to “FaPe” ['Fε:PI], pronounced “PaPe” [‚Pε:PI]. Et voilà, we have [‚Pε:PI] STUDIO! The collection includes dark, dramatic shades and patent leather dresses from the Korean fashion brand Masa de Oscura. These could have been taken directly from a music clip by the Korean girl band 2ne1. They enjoy strutting their stuff in bold outfits and would also likely be drawn to bags by designer Nadine Eismann, featuring striking gold buckles; or be found flashing one-of-a-kind rings from Innan Jewellery in their music videos. The minimalist, asymmetrical creations from menswear brand Kai Dunker, too, would be a per-fect fit with the fashion-conscious lads of boy band Big Bang, to mention but a few of the brands represented in [‚Pε:PI] STUDIO.

The Korean Wave, known as “Hallyu”, crashes over us like a force of nature and sweeps us along: K-pop, TV soaps, Korean film and, of course, funky fash-ion have prompted Korea to take Japan’s place as trendsetter. What’s behind all this? Korea wants nothing less than to be the no.1. exporter of pop culture in the world, according to the 2014 book by journalist Euny Hong “The Birth of Korean Cool: How One Nation is Conquering the World Through Pop Culture” (Simon & Schuster). Success is evident: in 2000, the export of pop from South Korea generated USD 500 million; yet, by 2014, sales had increased tenfold to USD five billion. This is certified by the Korean Culture and Information Service (KOCIS). Founded in 1971 as an arm of the Ministry for Culture, Sport and Tourism, its aim is not only to establish Korea as a global brand, but also to give extra momentum to the Korean Wave. It’s absolutely true that the global wave of K-pop was nudged along by the Korean state. It began with the 1997 financial crisis in Asia that identified a weakness: Korea had relied up until that point on major conglomerates. The president at the time, Kim Dae-jung, took action. Instead of manufacturing, the future path for the economic power would hence-forth be paved by the IT and entertainment industries. Tax breaks and govern-ment loans for companies operating in the entertainment sector were the start. In 2005, the government started a 500 billion dollar investment fund to support the pop industry.

So is K-pop really a product crafted by bureaucrats? Clearly, they enabled export hits such as Korean TV soaps, or K-dramas, plus a huge number of pop groups who, with their loud, garish pop and fast-moving choreography, have even out-stripped Western stars today. In 2013, the girl band Girls’ Generation came out on top of even Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber at the YouTube Music Awards – ac-cording to the algorithm, their music videos had the most ‘Beliebers’.

To mention a few more bands: singer HyunA, the girl groups 2ne1 and F(x) and the boy group SHINee. Not forgetting super group Big Bang of course, whose members Taeyang, G-Dragon and TOP all had their own solo careers in hip hop. We are gradually getting to know G-Dragon, most recently through his collabo-rative work with producers Skrillex and Diplo. He has been a star throughout Asia for a long time: the official face of AirBnBAsia was selected by Business of Fashion magazine as one of the 500 most influential people in the fashion world. And then there’s Psy of course, with his hit “Gangnam Style”, which stormed both YouTube and the charts in 2012. He, though, was by no means a product of the national pop initiative. The Wave has developed a momentum all of its own.

Korea in da house at the PREMIUM fashion trade show from 28 to 30 June, the Berlin-based fashion trade show PREMIUM is devoting an entire hall to Korean culture. Here, Korean designers and fashion brands that have been

influenced by Korean pop culture will be showcasing their collections.

The two fashion provocateurs from Germany’s leading menswear fashion blog Dandy Diary, David Roth and Jakob Haupt, are venturing into the offline world: the pair are opening a vegan fast food restaurant … in pastel pink! A grinning pig logo and the hipster world goes wild. An interview with David and Jakob about how the future of fast food was born from the spirit of a men’s fashion blog.

Do you think that every blog inevitably ends up peaking at some point?

We’ve not noticed it happen to us. Our blog business is growing substantially every day. There’s now a lot more money to be made on-line. When you’re ahead of the field, you also get more of the share. We are able to realise other ideas; our team is growing. Dandy Diner is the first time that we have set up some-thing so huge offline. We wanted to have a fixed location, not just to have to keep renting places temporarily. A clothes shop would have been too predictable. At the moment there

is more crossover between food and fashion than ever before. We saw fast food as a really exciting way to play with the ‘food’ theme. But we’re nowhere near radical enough.

What made you decide to enter into the world of gastronomy?

Fast food instead of fast fashion! You wear Vetements and eat your asparagus salad in the Dandy Diner. It’s a stronger expression of your identity than which film you saw last or which clunker you’re driving.

Do you see the diner as an exit strategy from your stressful job as bloggers? Must be lonely at the top …

It’s more lonely at the bottom … we wanted to move the Dandy Diary brand away from the internet and into other arenas. It doesn’t have to stop with a fast food restaurant. We’ve al-ready moved away from the web with our par-ties. It’s up to the two of us to decide what

happens to our brand – no one else. Who’s to say that tomorrow we won’t design the next e-car?

The Diner will continue the Diary legacy?

Absolutely. From Henrik Vibskov’s aprons featuring our logo to the pop-up store with Julian Zigerli. Fashion needs to be seen and for that, it needs to be in the right place.

Dandy Diner’s best buy?

The cheeseburger. It’s the epitome of fast food and our showcase meal: we want to prove that a vegan burger can also taste like a burger.

How many employees do you have?

20’s the limit.

What are your criteria when hiring?

We have two: we are looking for very young

“It’s a cross section of the LA scene,” explains Johann Haehling von Lanzenauer when describing the exhibi-tions on display in the gallery he and his business part-ner Aaron Rose recently opened: ‘The Conversation’.

It was precisely here that we paid the smartly dressed Berliner a visit on a summery Friday afternoon. The 100- metre-square gallery is located in the quiet and green rear courtyard of what was once a factory building, far away from the aggressively honking taxi drivers and the endless lines of punishing traffic along Potsdamer Straße. “Aaron and I wanted to create a meeting place that would be in constant dialogue with the visitors and the art.”

Although the showcased work differs widely in terms of price, all the pieces have one thing in common: all of the artists come from Los Angeles and have a more

alternative background instead of an acclaimed, aca-demic arts degree. “With the current exhibition, ‘The Neon Wilderness: Voices from Los Angeles’, we want to build a creative bridge between LA and Berlin and use it to cultivate a fruitful creative exchange.” Could we perhaps be seeing an interpretation of the next gallery generation? “Possibly, yes. With ‘The Conversation’ we want to create an alternative to the norm.”

Before we leave, Johann, who already owns five works (including pieces by Anneliese Schrenk and Dash Snow) adds, “The exhibitions are set to change every 6 months as everything is ephemeral.” And art?

Perhaps that’s why Johann is such a successful gallery owner.

Adidas x Parley concept shoe

SH

ION

Adidas is collaborating with Parley for the Oceans and presented an innovative shoe concept that was developed within the context of this partnership. A shoe with an upper constructed entirely from plastic waste and nets recovered from the sea and recycled.

The upper material consists of 100 per cent threads and fibres manufactured from recycled and reprocessed waste and illegal, open ocean nets recovered from the ocean.

The concept shoe exemplifies the direction that both partners are aiming to move in. The shoe will not be available to buy until the end of the year. For the moment, however, consumers can prove themselves worthy of it by upload ing a video to Instagram by 31 July showing how they avoid plastic waste and thereby support Parley’s Ocean Plastic Programme. “Sustainability & Style” in the U.S. Embassy is another potent project that will be launched this summer. Host U.S. Ambassador John B. Emerson and his wife, Mrs Kimberly Marteau Emerson, together with Fashion

Council Germany and Vogue Germany, will be presenting “American Denim meets German Fashion Design”: four designer labels, Nobi Talai, Vladimir Karaleev, Benu Berlin and Haltbar, have been selected for the opportunity to create inspiring new designs out of recycled denim from four top designers: Calvin Klein Jeans, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s and GStar.

The partnership is not just about building a cultural bridge between Berlin – known for its continually growing startup scene that is going from strength to strength – and the USA – which is regarded as the prime role model for entrepreneurship, but also about strengthening the sense of responsibility for sustainable fashion design.

“Through what has now become a regular exchange of ideas with various political institutions we would like to direct the attention, which up to now has been minimal, of politics to the significance of German fashion design as a cultural and economic asset worthy of support,” explains MarieLouise Berg, Chair of Fashion Council Germany.

This collaborative art project, the brainchild of inter-nationally renowned artist Johny Dar, will see 100 celebrities come together to show their support for refugees worldwide.

Each participant will donate one pair of jeans which will then be costumized by the artist himself, thus turning each donated article into an individual work of art. Fifteen ‘Jeans for Refugees’ will be chosen for a unique art installation at PREMIUM from 28 to 30 June. The idea is to give visitors the opportunity to find out more about the project’s underlying mo-tivation, to gain a more detailed look at the work of Johny Dar and to experience the innovation, com-munity and creativity behind the ‘Jeans for Refugees’ initiative up close.

The jeans will then be presented in a catwalk show taking place on 1 July as part of IMG. All of the pro-ject’s 100 creations will be on display at the Saatchi Galley in London for one week in October and at the end of the exhibition, each artwork will be sold at a special charity auction with all proceeds going to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

The aim of the project is to call upon people to work together towards a common goal, to change the way we look at the world and to help create a better way of life.

Famous names from the film, art, fashion and music industries are contributing their jeans to the project, including Anna Wintour, Bella Hadid, Benicio del Toro, Bryan Adams, Candice Swanepoel, Carl Cox, Carla Bruni, Chanel Iman, Christina Ricci, Claudia Schiffer, David Copperfield, Daniel Brühl, Elle McPherson, Elton John, Emma Watson, Florence Welch, Heather Graham, Iris Berben, Jane Birkin, Joaquin Phoenix, Karlie Kloss, Kate Moss, Lars von Trier, Linda Evangelista, Macy Gray, P!nk, Roger Waters, Ryan Gosling, Sadie Frost, Selah Sue, Sharon Osbourne, Sharon Stone, Sofia Coppola, Tinie Tempah, Toni Garrn, Twiggy, Usher, Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood, Woody Allen and many more. The highlighted celebrities are those whose jeans will be featured in Berlin.

BUSINESS2COMMUNITY WITH SEEK AND BRIGHT

BETTER TOGETHER The industry is changing and it’s changing fast. Tradeshows are no longer just for a select few in-siders. Business to business isn’t enough and nei-ther is business to consumer. Instead, a new form of business has evolved and it involves a commu-nity. In fact, it’s all about community.

Now, the old guard doesn’t care for communi-ties. The old guard is all about exclusivity and barriers. SEEK and BRIGHT are breaking down those barriers and they’re doing it with your help – even if you don’t realise it. Simply by being alive in the year 2016 and living among your contem-poraries, you’re pushing the old guard out and replacing it with something far more modern. Instead of being told to follow this or that trend by a select few publications, you’re taking in vast amounts of information from countless people across the internet, television, movies, music and social media.

The people that influence and inspire you aren’t the gatekeepers. In fact, they’re the opposite. They’re the ones pushing the gates open and inviting you to follow. You stagger behind for a while, struggling to find your footing. Eventu-ally you do and once you catch up to them you discover they’re just like you. Creator and con-sumer, there’s no difference anymore.

For proof of this, look no further than the world of skateboarding. Once the bane of mainstream culture, today’s most popular and successful

brands are either run by skaters or heavily in-fluenced by them. In other words, they know ex-actly what it takes to break down barriers and now that they’ve done so, they’re bringing you with them.

SEEK and BRIGHT understand this and cap-ture this paradigm shift in everything they do. Uniting people across all levels of the industry, they’re the only tradeshows that consider each person a tastemaker in their own right. It doesn’t matter if they’re a buyer, blogger, model or an editor, at the end of the day they’re one of many pillars that hold up the community this industry is built on.

To strengthen the pillars that hold up this com-munity, SEEK and BRIGHT carefully choose the best materials and construct them to exacting standards. In this case, the materials consist of things like curated editorial content, a sprawl-ing network of contributors, fashion week’s big-gest party and many other supporting events. When materials like these come together, they not only act as a foundation, but they create a culture that exists both on- and offline and that’s here to stay. Best of all, it’s not even hard to find. You just have to seek it out.

— the upcoming vernissage of painter Lena Petersen and

photographer Thorsten Heinze – an interview

Where and how did you meet?

Lena: We met through Anita Tillmann. She loves art and is very intu-itive when it comes to people. Two of our pictures are hanging in her living room almost side by side – a large photograph by Thorsten that captures the charm of pantomime master Marcel Marceau, and one of my paintings, the magical Universe Woman. As a team, we go together just as well as our two images hanging in the same room.

Thorsten: Lena’s paintings go perfectly in my gallery; she’s also a story-teller, both as an individual and as an artist. Who will take on which role during the exhibition?

Lena: We both carry with us a large library of dreams, images, memo-ries and feelings we have captured.

Thorsten: Lena transmits them onto canvas and I give her the space to tell each of these tales.

And you had the idea of hosting a joint exhibition?

Thorsten: The stars brought us together. Lena’s paintings have a con-nection to the universe as well as a beauty and simplicity from the worlds of fashion and design.

Lena: The fact that Thorsten’s gallery is called ‘SEVEN STAR GALLERY’ was actually an omen for the exhibition. It’s true, the stars really did bring us together.

How many pieces will be displayed?

Lena: As last year my art mainly consisted of large painted murals, starting with PREMIUM before moving to the Zurich Opera Ball, restaurants, cafes and businesses as well as the Design Week in Beijing, the upcoming exhibition could be viewed as an overall creative process itself. A painting that will come full circle at this year’s PREMIUM show.

Thorsten: It’s a development process that melts into itself. The pieces blend with the gallery space to form a single, complete piece.

EVEN BIGGER, EVEN CLOSER

TO THEby Verena Dauerer

On 29 June #FASHIONTECH Berlin is back. And this time it’s even bigger, even more exciting and even more critical for determining to-morrow’s trends.

Already embarking on its sixth outing, the conference on the future of fashion is once more ahead of the game. The event format has proven effective at accurately targeting predominant themes in fashion indus-try digitalisation. Fashion experts, industry insiders, designers, start-up businesses and creatives meet, learn, discuss and network at the one-day event where they can find out about fascinating projects and explore new business opportunities.

The success of previous events, with the most recent conference notch-ing up 3 100 visitors, demonstrates just how relevant the issues ad-dressed are. That is why the sixth edition of #FASHIONTECH Berlin will be dedicating two whole floors – and thus more space than ever before – to the crossover between fashion and technology. On the fourth floor partners and up-and-coming start-ups such as Inpressd, Modotex, Combyne, Wide Eyes Technologies, Maison Mrkt, and Telekom will present their latest technologies, projects and solutions, and labels such as Lilien Stenglein, Manu Varas, Bianca Cheng Costanzo, The Label Project, Lina Wassong, Moon Berlin, Clara Daguin, Maartje Dijkstra, Popkalab, Jasna Rok 360°, DimensionAlley, Vojd Studios and Form By Time will be on hand to showcase their collections, presented by ElektroCouture.

On the fifth floor the spotlight is directed to the stage where visitors can enjoy keynote speeches, talks, potential applications and best prac-tices, together with start-up pitches, focusing on three central themes: ‘Wearables & Design’, ‘E-Commerce & The Future of Retail’ and ‘Digital Marketing & Communication’.

Guests can look forward to hearing politicians such as Agnieszka Wojdyr (European Commission) and Dr Christian Ehler (European Parliament) speak on the prospects of FashionTech at a European level. Technology pro Antje Hundhausen (Deutsche Telekom) together with Christin Eisenschmid (Intel Germany), Dirk Schönberger (adidas Sport Style Division), professor Gesche Joost (UDK) and Lisa Lang (ElektroCouture) will discuss future market opportunities and introduce their new Fashion Fusion project. What’s more, a team of smart textiles experts put together by Olaf Schmidt (Messe Frank-furt), followed by Genevieve Kunst (ShopStyle), Luis Manent (Wide Eyes Technologies) and Sébastien Fabre (Vestiaire Collective), will feature during the second portion of the day and the series of talks will be rounded off by Philipp Westermeyer (Online Marketing Rock-stars), Pamela Reif (German Instagram star) and the founders of Hey Woman! Veronika Heilbrunner and Julia Knolle.

TURNS UP THE HEATby Barbara Russ

Berlin’s trade fair scene is cementing its international fore runner status, with PREMIUM Berlin in pole position. The exhibition manages to retain its lead over its rivals with a range of innovative displays, including a 70 m2 cos-metics area, Mexican designers and Jeans for Refugees. At ['Pε:PI] STUDIO visitors can enjoy a showcase of labels inspired by the Korean Wave.

Another floor has been added to the upcoming edition of #FASHIONTECH Berlin, which means it has even more space to dedicate to the future.

The SEEK and BRIGHT trade fairs feature highlights such as the Sneaker Spot with Hikmet Sugoer or a series of SEEK & BRIGHT parties with Highsnobiety. Talks and presentations on social responsibility in the textile industry are on the agenda in the GREENSHOWROOM,

followed by a ‘Salon show’ with highlights from vari-ous collections and ‘Ethical Fashion on Stage’ featuring fashion from the ETHICAL SHOWROOM.

SHOW & ORDER impresses with a late night shopping marketplace for end-consumers.

And, last but not least, we have the BERLINER MODE SALON, which is set to stun visitors with not one but three firsts: an additional venue at the Humboldt Forum in the Berlin Palace, a premiere menswear collection showcased by René Storck and Odeeh’s first ever runway show in Germany. Pretty hot. The Mercedes-Benz shuttle service transports visitors between key exhibitions that form part of our joint ticket offer, along with selected fashion locations, e.g. the MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK TENT and the BERLINER MODE SALON.

THE HUNDREDS

Ben Shenassafar and Bobby Kim founded streetwear label ‘The Hundreds’ in 2003. The pair met while studying law and their Californian-subculture inspired hoodies, T-shirts and tank tops unleashed an explosion of interest – which perhaps ex-plains why they chose to use a bomb as their logo. The Hun-dreds mixes graphic prints and elements taken from the skater scene with workwear, such as lumberjack shirts. More recently, they have added canvas sneakers and jeans to their collection, and their arrival at the top has been confirmed through col-laborations with Timberland, G-Shock and Penny Skateboards.

S ESSENTIEL ANTWERP

In 1999 Belgian couple and designer team Esfan Eghtessadi (son of fashion designer Nicole Cadine) and Inge Onsea (a for-mer Belgian pop singer) founded the label in their living room, starting out with a collection of shirts. These initial pieces soon grew into a comprehensive collection that incorporated men’s and childrenswear. As it has grown, the label has always used its fashion to make multilayered statements: frivolous yet play-ful, elegant yet cool, light yet comfortable. The Belgian label is available in over 700 multi-brand stores worldwide, including in Seoul and Dubai.

NORWEGIAN RAIN

The Norwegian city of Bergen is Europe’s rainiest city. That is why Bergen-based label ‘Norwegian Rain’ focuses on designing rainwear that sets hearts racing. Creator Alexander Helle found the high-tech material he needed in Japan and the right designer, T-Michael, in London. A trained tailor, T-Michael has brought a fusion of fine tailoring and high-end technology to Norwegian Rain, giving birth to extravagant raincoats for hip-sters. It’s little surprise that this small label has already caught

the attention of designer and fashion lover Lenny Kravitz.

S KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL

The story of Danish menswear label ‘Knowledge Cotton Apparel’ began in 1969. Sustainability influenced their designs from a relatively early stage: since the 1980s the label has been exclusively using organic cotton for shirts and long-sleeved tops bearing its owl logo. The label has set itself ambitious goals: by 2015 it planned to cut the use of 150 tonnes of chemi-cals and pesticides from production and use only natural, or-ganically produced fibres for its collection, which also includes underwear, flannel shirts and Norwegian-style jumpers.

MODERN HOUSEBOAT

A unique opportunity to dis - cover the adventures of life on the water in all-natural sur- roundings. Located on Lake Rummelsburg, a small bay in the river Spree, you’ll be hard pushed to find a more unique place to stay in Berlin! Facing the bay, the huge windows adorning the entire front can be opened up, offering stun-ning views of the city’s land-marks on the horizon. Though only 30 minutes away from the city centre, you'll feel complete-ly relaxed and uninterrupted, with the small exception of a few ducks and Ludwig the swan, who occasionally stops by for breakfast.
