On our third day of Berlin Fashion Week I took my time to visit all the avant-garde showrooms and exhibitions. This might not sound so exciting because there is no event or show or party taking place. But here I get the chance to actually talk to the designers who create all these great collections face-to-face and get to know the person that designs the clothes I am wearing. On my tour I visited the SEEK exhibition, Temporary Showroom, Collect, the (capsule) tradeshow and finally the showroom of Edged and fier Management. Meet the designers and see our impressions after the jump.
SEEK exhibition
My first visit was to the SEEK exhibition which is part of the Premium. Here I met up with Mihai and Alex from the Romanian label twenty(2)too who were one of the labels that were part of the last Designer Scouts event back in July 2011. Find more about the mensweare label here: twenty(2)too.
The Temporary Showroom hosted a little screening of the fashion film that we showed you yesterday in our Cinéma de Mode. I used the opportunity to shake hands with the two designers Gorjan and Petter from the Swedish label Odeur. Find out more about them: Odeur.
Collect Showroom
The Collect Showroom by press and sales agency Arne Eberle was third on my list. My favorite collection here was the one by Julian Zigerli. Find out more about this charismatic young designer: Julian Zigerli.
We also met Wibke from menswear label A.D.Deertz and Frederike, the sales agent from Esther Perbandt.
(capsule)
We didn’t have much time to actually meet any labels at the (capsule) trade show from New York and Paris that has started their business here in Berlin at Alte Münze last summer. But at least we snapped some impressions of the exhibition.

The collaborative showroom of Edged and fier Management was actually the most experimental and avant-gardistic exhibition of international labels and young designers.
