FASHIONCLASH at Berlin Fashion Week

FASHIONCLASH is recovering from the 2013 edition of FASHIONCLASH Maastricht and at the same time already making plans for 2014. In the meantime we visit events to scout talents and to encourage our dear designers and partners. We went to Berlin to attend the promising Berlin Fashion Film Festival that has celebrated its second edition. Our fashion film ASPIRE that we  have created for the 2013 edition in collaboration with Strictua was in the official festival screening. Beside that it was a great event and a wonderful Award Show evening.
At the same time Berlin Fashion Week was happening and we had attended some shows such as the Satu Maaranen (Hyeres 2013 winner) show and side events like the Premium fair.
One of the FASHIONCLASH Maastricht 2013 participants Franziska Michael showed her new ss2014 collection and she was also winner of Premium Young Designer Award 2013 for womenswear. We also met Black Balloon and spotted talents like label IVANMAN and Byungmun Seo.
Furthermore Blaenk label gave a very beautiful presentation at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Berlin.
At last we had the Weissensee Academy Berlin graduation fashin show where we spotted loads of talent. Check out some of the highlights.
