It is one of the main platforms within the industry for networking purposes, cooperation, and the exchange of ideas. Here comes the inside view of some major happenings that unfolded parallel to the stunning presentations: Press and Sales Showrooms: The showrooms provided the center of activities within a number of art galleries and industrial lofts spread across the city. Here, veteran and new brands flashed their newest collections to a carefully edited audience of buyers, editors, and influencers. Really, this was good for designers trying to get their work out there and secure some very key business relationships. Talks and Panels: BFW provided a platform for discourse on issues ranging from the future of sustainable practices in the production of fashion to dynamic retail transforming and the influence of social media. From the industry experts through designers, sustainability advocates, and academics to the very last one, all had a say on these critical matters, stimulating very exciting idea exchanges. One of the engaging panel discussions covered the challenges faced. The Berlin Fashion Week After Party: As the last runway shows closed, energy shifted to a glamorous after-party. Moving to a very happening club in Mitte, this then afforded guests a great opportunity to really unwind, toast to the week’s success, and network in an atmosphere much less formal. The music pulsed across the dance floor as the guests mingled and exchanged business cards. Relationships, established designers mixed in with rising stars, forged toward future collaboration. An after-party befittingly rounded off the week that whirled by in creativity and innovation in its celebration. A Glimpse into the Future of Fashion Berlin Fashion Week 2024 served as a resounding success. It showcased the city’s thriving fashion scene, its unwavering commitment to sustainability, and its dedication to nurturing the next generation of design talent. Sustainability is Here to Stay: Sustainability guidelines in the fashion industry is one palpable change underway. This season, BFW really proved well that eco-friendly practices can coexist with design without essentially questioning aesthetic values and quality. Diversity and Inclusivity Take Center Stage: Runway collections turned into an event that spoke volumes of several body types, ethnicities, and gender identities. Only this goes on to show the increasing need for fashion to be inclusive and representative of the kind of world in which we live. Berlin: A Hub for Innovation: Berlin Fashion Week really hit the nail on the head for Berlin as an international stronghold in style. With its artistic energy and an entrepreneurial spirit all its own, it has fostered that continuous surge of new and bold design talent. With the exception of the above-mentioned events, BFW prepared a great deal of side events, pop-up shops, and installations scattered throughout the whole city—from street style photography exhibitions to interactive workshops on sustainable garment care. Really, something for everyone. Berlin Fashion Week 2024 proved that it is exactly this creative vibe and undying commitment that keep moving this city towards the future of fashion A Look Beyond the Established Names Of course, more established designers like Karen Jessen and William Fan also had strong statements in the spotlight. Still, most of Berlin Fashion Week’s bread and butter remains laid in its continuous rising of fresh new talent, with fast growth and diversification. Take a closer look at some of the emerging stars that came out of the event: StudioHeast: This Berlin-based collective of fresh graduates from the famed Universität der Künste Berlin delivered a very conceptual collection with overtures of social commentary and deconstruction. Their catwalk show, held in a disused industrial space in Friedrichshain, could be read as performance art rather than a simple runway presentation. VMR Berlin: A brand from two childhood friends, Vanessa Maria Roiger and Maja Lena Schmitz—blurred the line between streetwear and high fashion. Their show, which was held in one of the more fashionable bars of Prenzlauer Berg, pitted worn, gigantic hoodies and sweatpants against elegant silk slip dresses and tailored blazers. NOD: This independent label, the enigmatic designer behind whom goes only by the name “N,” presented a strong collection driven by minimalist sensibilities with great strength shown for monochromatic hues. Functionality came to the fore in clean-line garments in a show held in a minimum-art gallery space in Mitte.  These are just a few examples of the exciting new talents that captivated audiences at Berlin Fashion Week. Their unique perspectives and innovative approaches to design contribute to the richness and diversity of the Berlin fashion. A Lasting Legacy Berlin Fashion Week 2024—energetic, sustainable, and full of support for emerging talent—is written in the annals of fashion history. It became a platform where creativity, innovation, and social commentary shaped the future of fashion in very exciting, sometimes unexpected ways. Going beyond the catwalks and industry gatherings, Berlin Fashion Week revealed that fashion has a very dynamic, changing relationship with society.

Berlin Fashion Week 2024: A Celebration of Rising Stars (July 1-4)

Between July 1st and 4th, 2024, Berlin’s streets crackled with the electric energy of Berlin Fashion Week. This biannual event secured the city’s place in a world fashion powerhouse, parading established icons and the next generation of exciting voices. Beyond the iconic Brandenburg Gate, one stepped into a whirlwind of mesmerizing runway shows, intimate presentations, and industry gatherings that pulsated with creative energy.   Berlin Fashion Week—Commitment to a Sustainable Future One of the most influential changes that the BFW introduces this year is its adaptation of the demanding Copenhagen Fashion Week sustainability criteria. This change reflects the movement of the entire world towards a more environmentally-friendly way of fashion consumption. From responsibly sourced materials such as organic cotton and recycled synthetics to innovative upcycling techniques and responsible production methods, sustainability was not a trend—it was a base on which so many collections stood. This commitment could be felt even within the sacred walls of the “Berlin Salon,” a platform of established designers who have clearly warmed up to sustainability. Among them is Karen Jessen, well-known for creating timeless, elegant pieces from environmentally friendly materials, who unveiled her latest collection in the beautifully appointed Feuerle Collection space—a haven for contemporary art within the lively streets of Kreuzberg. Guests stepped inside to find Jessen’s signature silhouettes – sharp blazers, flowing dresses – reimagined in sumptuous, environmentally responsible fabrics playing witness to the talent of this designer in marrying style with sustainability A Launchpad for Rising Stars BFW has always been an advocate for young designers, and this year was no exception. It was through the “Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week” platform that this rather varied selection of emerging talents was furnished with a much needed launchpad, each with their story to tell through the clothes. New kid on the block Avenir did amaze with its bold take on tailoring; bold cuts and innovative textiles really formed the heart of their collection, further pushing the very boundaries of conventional garment construction. Their show, held within the renovated industrial warehouse in Mitte, Berlin, was a feast of lights and emotion, with dramatic lighting that brought out all the intricate details of every piece. The energy almost pulsed to the pounding strides of the models cat walking in outfits that were manifestos for bold individuality.   Showstopping Spectacles: Runway Highlights The week was very much packed with show-stopping presentations of trendy casual wear to haute couture after the showcases. A closer look at some of those mentioned below that captured the essence of BFW 2024 includes: William Fan: This Berlin-based designer, known for his avant-garde creations, had a collection that defied categorization. Held in a former East German cinema, it was a theatrical display. Dramatic silhouettes that defied gravity were worn on the models, some resembling space suits of the future, and others more ethereal sculptures. Irrescent fabrics and metallic finishes seemed to provide some sort of otherworldly sheen to the collection. Headwear became integrated into the ensemble, with elaborate geometric structures crowning the models’ heads. William Fan provided a feast for the eyes—a real treat for the soul, to believe in the power of fashion to erase the line between art and dress. Rianna + Nina: The design duo with Rianna Capri and Nina Pawlowska presented a very relatable collection to people all over the world. This show in the sun-kissed courtyard of Prenzlauer Berg was really an homage to diversity and inclusion. Their garments were kaleidoscope color against the canvas of whitewashed brick walls with prints inspired by traditional African textiles. Silhouettes are comfortable and stylish, ranging from a wide scope of body types to ethnicities. Rianna + Nina’s show was like a breath of fresh air—really bringing the notion back that fashion ought to include and empower everyone. Malaika Raiss: This young star, of Moroccan origin, came with a collection inspired by her origins. The show took place in a historical dance hall in Charlottenburg and therefore remained an homage to timeless elegance reinterpreted. Luxuriant fabrics—the likes of silks and satins—streamed down the models’ bodies, draping intricate embroidery reminiscent of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. The color palette was warm and inviting and consisted of earthy tones with jewel-toned accents reflective of Raiss’s rich heritage. Then came the bridal gown, all in white and delicately accented by intricate gold embroidery, endlessly applauded by an audience enchanted by its beauty. Malaika Raiss reminded us that, in a pointed way, one’s cultural heritage might be tapped richly to create stunning and sophisticated design.   To be continued…

10 Summer Green Dresses To Fashionably Hop On The Trend Train

Green, the colour of lush meadows and verdant forests, has transcended its natural roots and become a fashion phenomenon. From the subdued elegance of sage to the captivating vibrancy of emerald, this versatile hue offers a spectrum of possibilities for every occasion and personal style. Whether you’re a trendsetter with a daring spirit or a minimalist who appreciates timeless silhouettes, a green dress is a guaranteed way to elevate your look and make a lasting impression. Green Dresses That You Can Wear To Style Up: This comprehensive guide delves into ten captivating green dresses, catering to diverse styles and flattering a multitude of body types. So, prepare to immerse yourself in the world of verdant fashion and discover your perfect match! The Timeless Off-the-Shoulder Maxi: Effortless Sophistication for Every Occasion The off-the-shoulder maxi dress in a classic olive green is a timeless choice for those who seek effortless sophistication. Brands like Zesica have mastered this silhouette, featuring a breezy maxi skirt that adds a touch of refinement. The off-the-shoulder detail offers a glimpse of décolletage, injecting a hint of allure that makes this dress perfect for both daytime events and soirees under the moonlight. The dress’s classic appeal ensures it remains a staple in your wardrobe for seasons to come. Think summer weddings, garden parties, or even a dressy brunch—this olive green wonder transitions seamlessly. The Satiny Cowl Neck: Luxurious Allure for Nighttime Glamour Embrace the spotlight and channel old-world Hollywood glamour with a luxurious satin cowl-neck dress in a captivating emerald green. The Lyaner dress exemplifies this captivating style, ideal for special occasions and evening soirees. The cowl neck adds a touch of drama, reminiscent of iconic actresses like Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake. The satin fabric drapes beautifully, creating a flattering silhouette that cinches the waist and skims your curves. This dress is designed to make you feel confident and sophisticated, perfect for turning heads and leaving a lasting impression at a gala, a fancy dinner, or a night out at the opera. The Emerald Empire: A Flattering Choice for All Body Types The empire waist dress in rich emerald green is a universally flattering option that celebrates all body types. The high waistline, typically placed just below the bust, cinches the narrowest part of your torso, creating an elongated silhouette that complements all figures, from petite to plus-size. This silhouette is particularly kind to those with pear-shaped or hourglass figures, as it balances the proportions and creates a smooth flow from top to bottom. Pair it with delicate sandals and a sun hat for a sophisticated summer brunch, or elevate it with statement earrings, heels, and a clutch for a night out. The emerald empire dress offers endless styling possibilities, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The A-Line Fit: A Celebration of Youthful Charm and Playful Movement The A-line dress in a refreshing lime green is a perfect choice for channelling your youthful exuberance. This universally flattering silhouette gently skims your curves, creating a balanced and proportional look. It’s ideal for daytime outings, picnics, afternoons spent exploring the city, or running errands in style. Play with textures to add visual interest. Opt for a flowy cotton fabric for a breezy summer vibe, or choose a more structured eyelet lace for a touch of vintage charm. Accessorise with a straw hat and sandals for a breezy summer look, or add a denim jacket and sneakers for a casual weekend vibe. The A-line dress allows for movement and carefree twirling, making it perfect for occasions that call for a touch of fun and lightheartedness. The Wrap Dress: A Versatile Staple for Work and Beyond The wrap dress is a fashion icon for a reason. This universally flattering silhouette works wonders on a variety of body types, from those with a straight figure to those with curves. Opt for a wrap dress in a deep forest green for a touch of sophistication that seamlessly transitions from work to evening. The wrap style cinches your waist and creates a defined silhouette, while the V-neckline flatters your bust. This dress is perfect for showcasing your confidence and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Throw on a blazer and pumps for a polished work look, or remove the blazer and pair it with strappy sandals for a stylish dinner with friends. The versatility of the wrap dress makes it a must-have in any wardrobe. The Bodycon Dress: Embrace Your Curves with Confidence Feeling bold and confident? A bodycon dress in hunter green is a show-stopping statement piece. This dress hugs your curves and accentuates your figure, creating a sleek and glamorous look. It’s the ideal choice for a night out at the club, a special occasion where you want to command attention, or a date night where you want to leave a lasting impression. Opt for a dress with interesting details like ruching or strategically placed cutouts to add visual intrigue and avoid a one-dimensional look. However, ensure the cutouts are tasteful and don’t reveal too much skin. Confidence is key when rocking a bodycon dress, so pair it with high heels and bold accessories that complement your personality. The Printed Paradise: A Playful Approach to Green with Personality For a playful and eye-catching option, explore a green dress with a vibrant floral print. This is a perfect choice for summer soirees, garden parties, or a day spent exploring a local farmer’s market. The print adds a touch of whimsy and personality to your look, allowing you to express your unique style. Look for dresses with flattering necklines and silhouettes that complement your body type. A wrap silhouette with a floral print can be particularly flattering, as it cinches the waist and creates a balanced look. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bolder prints and colours; summer is the time to embrace a touch of fun! Pair your printed green dress with simple sandals and a woven bag for a laid-back look, or elevate it with

Celebrating Dreams: Juniors Fashion Week 

Juniors Fashion Week is a platform that celebrates Young Talent. It is a one-stop shop that meets the needs of millennial parents and their kids and gives them a fashion experience brimming with anticipation and excitement. Among its various partners, JD Institute of Fashion Technology was its educational partner in this endeavor. Numerous children’s fashion events are held nationwide each year as part of Juniors Fashion Week in various cities. This year the same was held in Bangalore at Ritz Carlton on the 16th October, 2022. Upon entering the venue, we were greeted with a swarm of parents and toddlers, while the former waited eagerly and the latter nonchalantly loitered around exploring the new environment. Although the main event of Juniors Fashion Week happened on the 16th of October, the kids were given a trial run on the 15th. This bit is an inside look into the backstage workings of a Fashion Show, one that has hyperactive kids with an attention span that wavers at the sight of a butterfly. Nevertheless, the volunteers treated them like the little celebrities they were. They would most often than not, pull a hilariously smart trick out of the sleeve to get and keep their attention until the end of the rehearsals. Ms Chetna Jodha guided the children with amazing initiative, ensuring every child has a wonderful experience learning their walks on a ramp. The cute little gestures from the stars of the show put up smiles and laughter in everyone in the room. The number of skills showcased, and the short period in which the children grasped how to pose, and model were both astonishing and overloaded with cuteness. The little stars most definitely made every adult in the room go “Awwww”. While the chaotic cuteness behind the stage unfurled, the curious parents were what added to the entire spirit of the event. The minute a volunteer walks out you could hear the excitement and nervousness with which they asked about their kid’s whereabouts. They gifted us with a very wholesome picture of a parent who is living their dream vicariously through their kids, and some of them trying to make their kid’s dreams a reality. But the main event was yet to happen, if kids could rock their ramps on a stage with not much lightning, no makeover, and nothing to enhance the same, what would it be like with all of it? The question kept us all waiting in awe. The day passed, and what was much-awaited for finally arrived. There was more to the day than just the final show of Juniors Fashion Week.
