i n t r o d u c t i o n

The past decade in men’s clothing has seen an unprecedented evolution of both talent and enthusiasm across a myriad of emerging aesthetic practices. Even the term ‘menswear’ itself is a signifier; a burgeoning market of personal expression that continues to break convention to include new strands of daring creativity, and a freedom rarely seen in the masculine wardrobe of yesterday. Alongside this phenomenon, Berlin has emerged as a cosmopolitan artistic playground, and is home to a blossoming portfolio of fashion designers spearheading this local industry in an international direction. The scope is huge, with both young and established designers drawing cultural inspiration from both near and far; from the intense energy of Berlin’s pulsing nightlife, to the darker more artisanal edge of grunge, with bold graphic statements that blend classical references with the irreverent humour of our digital age. Strong ties with the city’s artistic spirit continue to spur these designers into unknown territory, and the innovative selection for the Spring Summer 2015 Berlin Showroom blurs the lines between fashion, sculpture, technology, music and craft like never before.

Berlin Showroom was initiated by Projekt Zukunft /Berlin’s Senate Department for Economics, Technology and Research. It is largely financed by the programme ‘Opening up New Markets’ and the EFRE fund. The joint presentation is realised by IDZ Designpartner Berlin GmbH in cooperation with Arne Eberle press+sales and the Regional initiative Projekt Zukunft.
