A new Post "Berlin spring/summer 2011 top collections" was written on the December 30, 2010 at 10:07 pm on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".
*Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin* *spring/summer 2011* (7-10 July
2010) gathers top German fashion brands and designers to showcase
their most recent collections.
*Mongrels In Common* is a young label founded in 2006 by designers
Livia Ximénez-Carrillo and Christine Pluess who met at Esmod School
of Design in Berlin. The brand's name is inspired by their both
multicultural backgrounds. Mongrels In Common's spring/summer 2011
collection displays a calm color palette of blue, beige, cream, yellow
and pastel floral prints; soft fabrics cut into relaxed tailoring with
pleat details; a focus on the waist that creates the ideal hourglass
shape.

*Schumacher*, a brand that "combines artisan couture with a modern
lifestyle", was founded by Dorothee Schumacher with the goal of
designing favorite pieces for sophisticated wardrobes. Its
spring/summer 2011 collection mixes contrasting styles and fabrics
(leather, organza, silk, cashmere) into a modern and comfortable look.
Notable are the graphic details, large pleats, short hems and straight
square cuts. As for the colors used, pink, purple and burgundy mix
with neutrals and metallic party pieces.

The Berlin based label *Kaviar Gauche* founded by two Esmod graduates
Alexandra Fischer-Roehler and Johanna Kühl was launched in 2003. The
name was inspired by the French jet-setters who liked to flirt with
the revolutionary ideas of the '68, the so-called "gauche
caviar". With the desire of creating feminine, avantgarde clothes
and accessories they managed worldwide selling, red-carpet exposure,
collaborations with Swarovski and signing Britain's newest super
model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as the new ambassador for the brand.
Kaviar Gauche spring/summer 2011 collection is definitely more
romantic and less avantgarde, influenced by their newest bridal
couture line, launched in 2009. On display are sheer silky fabrics,
draping, ruching and fabric flowers, easy, flowing cuts especially
some very elegant trousers. The light color palette includes ivory
white, pale grey, pastel blue, lilac, mint green and yellow.

The up-and-coming superstar is *Dawid Tomaszewski* who started his
namesake label in 2009 and already won the Premium Young Designers
Award in January 2010. He is inspired by art and architecture in his
beautiful extravagant designs using only high-quality fabrics. With a
distinctive mix of purism and glamour of the lost golden eras Dawid
Tomaszewski is defining a new couture, giving the modern woman the
chance to express her desire for luxury.

My top 5 *Berlin Fashion Week* collections includes also the label
developed as an interdisciplinary project of the University of Applied
Sciences HTW Berlin in 2003, *30paarhaende*. Working every season are
30 students who are currently in their sixth term of the fashion
design course, under the direction of Professor Uwe Janssen.
The inclination for experimental design is expected but the clear
lines and functionality of traditional German aesthetic are always at
the core of this sophisticated label. And looking at the spring 2011
collection I'd say the future of German fashion is in great hands.
Modern looking clothes you can breathe in, with streamlined yet
relaxed tailoring and fashion-forward details such as cut-outs and
asymmetric lines, balanced by neutral shades: navy, brown, gray, and
beige.
