Cinéma de Mode: Der Katalog

Cinéma de Mode: Der Katalog

Today’s Cinéma de Mode features the spectacular new fashion film Der Katalog by Aviv Kosloff for Berlin-based designer Julia Heuse, former female half of the label JULIAANDBEN. The film is part of the exhibition Outer Dark – Continuing after Fashion on display at the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt and showcases Julia Heuse’s latest Autumn/Winter 2013/14 collection Object Trouvé. The collection draws inspiration from changing surfaces, fades and structures, resulting in a combination of dip dye techniques and abstract digital prints, which perfectly reflects the label’s conceptual and urban style. Der Katalog itself is a visual journey challenging conventionality and questioning fashion through images in motion and collage material in an “inspirational laboratory”. Enjoy the stunning film and some behind the scenes photos from the shooting after the jump.

Designer Scouts open the SKYY VODKA SWAP SEASON 2013

Designer Scouts open the SKYY VODKA SWAP SEASON 2013

Last Friday my partner Gina and I hosted another one of our Designer Scouts events, for the second time now during the Press Days. With the special event we launched this year’s collaboration with long-term partner SKYY VODKA. It’s now the fourth year that we will be hosting the SKYY VODKA SWAP MARKET happening in late summer. But this year the swapping will not only take place during one event in Berlin, it will happen throughout the whole year all over Germany. SKYY VODKA teamed up with numerous magazines to raffle off many small private swaps taking place in the homes of the lucky winners who will not only get all the equipment they need for the swap party, but also ingredients for delicious cocktails and amazing designer pieces.

Just like the big SKYY VODKA SWAP MARKET the private swaps will also get designer hosts, for this season we’ve selected the sustainable labels Ica Watermelon and Anne Gorke and the avant-garde labels Franziska Michael and Julia Heuse. Those four designer hosts were introduced at the event on Friday with three stunning fashion presentations and one amazing fashion film. At the exclusive pre-swap we also had a couple of outfits by them as well as from Weekday and Front Row Society. Stay tuned to the SKYY VODKA facebook page to find our more about the private swaps.

Thanks to SKYY VODKA for the long collaboration, to our designers for their great presentations and film, to everyone involved in the making of this event and to our partner uber who supplied an exlcusive limousine service for our guests.
