one thing that makes me sad about the fashion world is the lack of innovation. there’s barely any designers out there that come up with new ideas. that’s why I was quite impressed when I heard about george bezhanishvili‘s project “reasonable luxury”. george studied in my hometown vienna at the university of applied arts and is now based in new york. i saw one of his shows last year at the austria fashion awards last year and it left quite a memory.
george now came up with a u fundraising project for his ss 2013 collection. his goal is to produce the upcoming collection entirely in US, giving fashion jobs to over 14 individuals, presenting the collection at the new york fashion week and what’s most important: make it reasonably priced. he specially designed rewards, so within helping him with the project you will be able to obtain original GB accessoires and artworks.
it’s really easy: go to this website and donate as much as you want. there’s nothing that’s not good about this project. really.

i’ve really been trying not to photo overload my blog with posts from fashion week in berlin. but as you might have noticed from my need for a vacation after berlin, i went to too many shows there (yeah, first world problems – I KNOW). but next year i’ll definitely do more outsourcing and only pick things i really wanna see.
two of the shows that i really enjoyed were by austrian designers eva poleschinski and andy wolf with superated. i have been saving for a pair of andy wolf shades forever, i think she’s my favorite designer and i just love how she puts her designs in focus (they did an amazing film called “the rosenthal legacy” which is just superb).
anyway, both shows took place in the “studio” which is the alternative to the runway. eva poleschinskis show was just incredibly well staged. the light, the sounds, the dramaturgy – absolutely stunning. andy wolf / superated was quite different but also absolutely genius. a commonplace living room scene, models eating bananas and playing chess. how beautiful can banality be?

another outfit from fashion week. really not the most flattering outfit if you’re only 160 cm tall. but my obsession with layers has become really drastic. also my wardrobe has expanded to 80% black which is a very, very good thing. still clearing out my wardrobe for MQ flea market this saturday. i can not bring it all to milan with me.
two labels – one presentation. mongrels in common & liebig decided to show their ss13 collections in one show. it all took place in a berlin courtyard, unofrtunately interrupted by some rain. i fell in love with that that white coat from the first photo, but also really loved their models and the wonderful styling.
