Two unique German designers with a hip take on youth culture in the nation's capital splashed the catwalk with wool caps, fire-engine red dresses and navy blues for men Friday evening at Berlin's fashion week.
Strenesse Blue also ran a live Twitter stream on the web, during its show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week - complete with pictures and backstage insights.
"We recommend: Wool caps worn differently," read one tweet, linking to a photo of a model with a ski cap perched high on her head.
The family-owned company, based in southern Germany, showed models in sexy, playful clothing. Wide leather belts, ski caps and hoodies adorned most of the models, with colours alternating between neutral grey, black, beige and silver sparkle.
The theme of the collection was inspired by photographs of street fashion from the cities of Paris, Milan and Stockholm.
"So they actually reflect the style of these cities, or how we see the cities," said Jenna Mathiasch, assistant to the head of southern Germany-based Strenesse Blue.
Berlin's fashion week, which started Wednesday, has been host to Bread&Butter, a street and urban wear trade show; the Premium trade show, with luxury brands; and other events. While both the trade shows wrap up Friday, models will stay on the catwalk through Saturday evening.
Kilian Kerner, a Berlin-based design firm, also showed its designs off Friday at both Premium and on the catwalk. The collection went with bold reds for its women's collection, and navy blues for the men.
The daring female designs included a black bustier bodysuit with a zipper down the front, a red flowing gown with sequin-adorned ribbons hanging down the back and a mostly see-through white dress with a printed silk bodice. The men's designs were tight, while the pants had plenty of tucks and pleats.
