A Breath of Fresh Air at the Berliner Modesalon
Even though the extreme heatwave is over in Berlin, yesterday was still a pretty warm day and it got pretty hot at some of the fashion shows. The fashion presentation of the young Berlin-based label Vonschwanenflügelpupke that was part of the exclusive selection of designers at the Berliner Modesalon at Kronprinzenpalais was no exception and everyone was using their tickets to manually fan some air into their faces. Luckily the label presented a collection that was a refreshing distraction from the heat: Flowey, silky blouses, skirts, dresses and scarves in cooling blue and white colors and with prints of hot air balloons, birds and butterflies in an airy set-up with a background full of huge white balloons really took your mind away from the sweaty, sticky reality, right up into the sky.
To give it even more of a fresh breath the label collaborated with the cutting-edge ventilator brand Dyson who incorporated their elegant design fans into the show bringing the garments, hairstyles and balloons into motion with a light breeze. The fans made for some fascinating eye-catchers as their blade-less design makes you wonder how they actually work and create the wind with just a minimalist ring on a stand. You were tempted to put your hand through the ring to reveal the magic, but it remained mysterious. But nonetheless I think everyone was happy to get a soft wind blowing around their noses during the presentation. We have some animated impressions of the show for you after the jump and if you want to know a more about Dyson have a look at their website.
