While there is on one side of the commercial continuum, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, try the avant-garde and alternative-creative heads of the city on the other side to make possible with their limited resources, but challenging events without overflowing sellout.
An example: Designer Scouts, launched by Frank Schroeder and Gina Dommermuth, contributing again to their event to the diversity of the Berlin Fashion Week.

Under the title of Hiroshima Mon Amour was the label Marc Anderson, a collection of scarves, which are produced in limited editions and printed in Como, Italy.
The slightly psychedelic, stands for itself and Nu-Disco and Music of the 80s underground scene-inspired prints have been set by a dance presentation in the limelight.

Franziska Michael was a beautiful, feminine collection in lilac tones and pastels, with kaleidoscopic floral print, successful and exciting cuts silhouettes. Compared to their predecessors collections had their vision for S / S 2013 but slimmed down a bit. Previously, in particular the creative use of materials and geometric forms was more significant. However, a successful collection.

Emilia tikkas External Body Collection was the highlight of the creative designer Scouts presentation. Held in their peach and Nudetönen designs imitating a second skin, which is indeed the fashion, by definition, no doubt, and made the function of clothing on a meta-level.
The silhouettes resembled exoskeletons material around the body shape of their wearers. How to protect some insects that are protected by the armor from attacks of natural enemies, so the clothes of Emilia tikka and reveal a fragility and frailty, both the nakedness of the body without clothes, as well as that of the Psyche.



Formed in a time of social media such another shell around the core of truth, the personality of a generation - that is an external virtual body - seems to have particular relevance to this collection. Through clever insights and cut-outs at the shoulders and under the arms, directed the creations but also clearly identifies gaps between the external representation, the delimitation and the true, deep and hidden today more and more hidden self.
And despite all the philosophical depth of the collection manages to create Tikka, beautiful, very wearable clothes opportunity.

Rural Phuengkit, the final show of the evening at Designer Scouts, and the only men's collection, provoked mixed feelings. The balancing act between the cultures, the combination of Western and Asian influences urbanity expressed, is undoubtedly a tall order for anyone who is facing this challenge.
This was reflected in the designs reflected the unusual silhouettes and geometric details with natural materials apparently united, always standing on the brink between Seeming interesting and strange. In the end remained a sense of strangeness that made that in connection with the sense of inspiration, but also took the clothes to appeal.
