Save the date: the winter edition of Modefabriek will be held from

retailers and fashion professionals, and will include unique and
challenging new initiatives in addition to the regular programme.
*Next & Cutting Edge*
The inspirational arena featuring a selection of young designers

designers: Hien Le & Alexandra Kiesel*
BERLIN PROMISE HIEN LE
Hien Le, born in Laos, describes himself as "precise, patient and
strong willed. Patience and strong willingness are shown by his
choice to gain years of experience in tailoring and pr before he took
the 'jump' in starting his own label. The other trait
'precise' is reflected by a minimalistic signature. The garment
is sharply designed, using "clean and refined shapes", which fits
the frame of 'new' Berlin. In the S/S 2012 collection he combines
his love for simplicity with his family's origins in Laos. Hien Le
named every garment after one of his relatives and incorporated
colours like dark blue, deep red, soft yellows and apricot out of
folklore outfits. These colours are neutralized by focussing more on
European-styled garments: sharp blazers, breezy shorts, jumpsuits and
dresses. Hien Le dedicated the collection to his grandfather, who
encouraged him to become a designer, he explains: "I was always
impressed as a child when watching my grandfather working and sewing.
I wanted to do fashion at the age of 12, so I kind of got into his
footsteps." *ALEXANDRA KIESEL CONSTRUCTS THE RULES OF FASHION*
It took Berlin-based designer Alexandra Kiesel only six months after
her graduation in February 2011 (Weiβensee School of Art) to win an
important award. 'The Designer for Tomorrow Award' was handed to
her by Marc Jacobs himself; which, you must admit, is kind of
impressive. The advantages? The opportunity to show her new
collection to an important audience at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Berlin. And...flying to New York to meet Marc Jacobs in his studio,
where he gave her some food for thought: "It's nice to make
fashion. But it only works if you make fashion, which is purchased by
customers!" A market-driven orientation is the key to success when
it comes to Marc Jacobs and Alexandra Kiesel implemented this mindset
in her collection 'Building Blocks Individuals'. A very wearable
yet authentic collection. She tries to explain the specific rules of
fashion, mathematical ánd technical, inspired by the allure of
German Modernism: Bauhaus style. Kiesel explains: "My outfits are
characterised by strongly contrasting colour combinations, geometric
shapes and rather austere cuts. With my second collection, which I
will present at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin on January 18th, I
choose the same idea. Under the banner of 'support your local heroes'
I have collaborated with Berlin-based artists for my debut-collection
and I combined various illustrations in a highly diverse and
multi-faceted manner." With Marc Jacobs' advise resonating in her
head, it's up to Kiesel to give the audience some food for thought,
revealing the rules of fashion.
