…fashion week berlin_some personal highlights from the fairs

…..here are some directional impressions of the berlin fashion week berlin winter 2012_13 ….. tradition_ethno_heritage_glam_modern sleek elegance_remixed hyper culture_loads of restyled 60`s_reduction_and YES also color are the key words for the winter season:

….color was a theme that was missed by many buyers i spoke to…but especially at the female section at premium for example: rena lange_rinai_and at the amazing day by birger et mikkelson colletion..color and patchwork was more than visible: mondrian colors_bold ethnic brights for dresses, knitwear and jackets. it will be a season full of suspense…..and for all of you who have the BVLK trend themes from us in mind: beside all the tradition and warm aristo grunge themes….be sure that the trend themes_smart minimal and_bright culture _are not to be underestimated.
