Fashion is love. Love is fashion. And love is sex. If the Berlin Fashion Week is transferred to the symbol of a love act, the first three days of the Berlin fashion week would have been a delightful prelude to the senses. Fashion clothing with reflective fabric, Great design looks, exciting events, delightful trade fairs, dazzling parties and visionary collections inspire the hungry modem crowd. Let them into a driven, film like and self-forgetful intoxication full of tension of the senses. Only to unload on the fourth day in an ecstatic, glowing and fumigant fashion climax: Marina for her autumn / winter collection 2017/18.
The orchestral strings and the drumming timpani fill the halls of the imposing Imperial Telegraphic Office. Already the first look from Marina’s collection rings her new, further developed design era. A floor-length, narrow-cut dress with elaborate black-red-iridescent velvet tendrils on transparent gauze opens the show. The models wear strictly braided, interwoven cornrows and dark lipstick. A stampede dance beat with insistent operetta singing sets in and replaces the epic classical sounds. This is followed by typical and yet reinterpreted creations for the designer. Fluorescent beads and Swarovski crystals applied to human support and movement devices in lacquer optics.
At all, reflective, reflective surfaces and materials form a stringent key element. Belt buckles may be missing as well as bondage straps and lacing. Everyone present will realize this at the latest at the appearance of the tippling model in the stiff, wicked and exciting song belt skirt. Rarely were women’s fashion so feminine strong and strict but at the same time fragile and feminine. The masterminds dare. Good luck! For this reason, the current star at the Berlin fashion heaven offers us what we have been in urgent need for years: courage for a skillfully free balancing act between art, commerce and unfamiliar portability.
