Anzeige

Made in Berlin Every season, creative young talents present their latest collections during Berlin Fashion Week. But making a mark on the international scene is comparatively tricky for German designers. That’s a real shame, especially since the local up-and-coming designers impress with a wide range of designs featuring everything from minimalist-clean to colorful or far out avant-garde designs – all delivered with a good eye for trends and a high level of craftsmanship and professionalism. We would like to see some of these new labels and designers on everyone’s radar, so we compiled a list of the freshest new talents for you.

  nobitalai Nobi Talai Born in Teheran, Talai moved to Berlin with her family at the tender age of 11. Today, she calls the city her hometown, and also the current base and birthplace of her label. However, the country of her ancestors remains a crucial inspiration: Talai combines trademark Berlin elements – a minimalistic and clean look – with elements appropriated from nomad culture. Talai graduated from ESMOD, and made her Berlin Fashiion Week debut in 2015. The show was a success, and Talai returned in January 2016.

  1. Ich liebe diese Posts! Eine Entdeckungsreise für die Augen, nicht weniger als das sind sie. Ich kannte Nobi Tálai nur von deinem weißer-Einteiler-Post, und freu’ mich umso mehr, sie hier wiederzufinden (auch wenn ich den Einteiler noch immer nicht verstehe).
    Marina Hörmannseder kenne ich schon länger, und ich liebe ihre Herangehensweise an Mode und ihre Unkonventionalität, die sie aber erstaunlicherweise immer total tragbar (auf die schiere Möglickeit des Anziehens allein bezogen) und sehr herzeigbar (auf die ästhetische Komponente bezogen) gestaltet. Das ist eine Kunst, die mir bei manch’ anderen fehlt, und sie daher für mich persönlich noch viel mehr auszeichnet. Man merkt, ich bin begeistert von ihr – wie gerne würde ich ihre Visionen einmal be-greifen, das Material fühlen, testen, ob es sich so steif trägt wie es aussieht oder eigentlich urbequem ist.

    1. Hi Vivien,

      was Marina angeht: leider ist es sehr steif vom Material, in den Röcken kann man sich kaum bewegen, aber umso besser, dass die Kollektion, die sie jetzt hervorgebracht hat darauf eingegangen ist und Röcke aus Stoff mit angenähten Gürteln kreiert hat. So kann man es auch einige Stunden darin aushalten :)

      1. Das hatte ich schon befürchtet. Ihre Röcke stehen ja auch ab wie Glocken aus Sattelleder… Aber anders ist diese Silhouette ohne Reifrock (oder Tüllmonster) leider nicht haltbar. Die Gürtelröcke haben mir immer besonders gut gefallen!

  2. Oh die Kollektion von der Marina ist ja toll. Wäre so mein Geschmack ;-) Ja, echt schade, dass es die Designer hier so schwer haben auf dem internationalen Markt. Versteh ich auch nicht so recht.

    Liebe Grüße
