Design begins with perception. For Birgit Brockbals perception begins with questions: Do you have time for me today? Where have all the jobs gone? Is leisure time everything? When does your train leave? Why are people so discontent? Can I withstand the pressure to perform? Is Grandpa feeling better? The collection ”internal = external” breaks through the borders between intimacy and public life, between what we are and what we pretend to be. Deformation of the silhouette creates a new access to one’s counterpart: changeable and versatile; fragile and strong; confident and open for new experiences. The asymmetric silhouettes were modelled on mannequins. Contrasts, such as plastic and crystalline, soft and stable, fabrics such as wool velour, cotton satin, or wool jersey shape the collection’s image and offer a feeling of security. The wearer know she can take chances: internal is the new external.


Jury Statement The very personal questions in Birgit Brockbals’ concept show clearly that she delved deeply into social issues. This strong approach is an important quality; it helps Birgit Brockbals express her themes. Her collection’s visually very strong show piece, reminiscent of a puffy pillow, provides an initial, very conceivable response to the motto of the European Fashion Award FASH 2010, “Privacy”. Yet Birgit Brockbals does not stop with effects. Her designs impress with a compelling interplay of volume, body, and silhouette, as well as with a high degree of creative sensibility. Her collection cleverly keeps the balance intact between spectacular show piece and wearable fashion. The cuts and patterns work on the body, despite all experiments. Shirts and leggings, to be worn in layers under the dresses, allow the wearer to create her own combinations. The photo documentation of the elaborate design and finishing process shows very well how Birgit Brockbals approached her work and developed her concepts step by step. This high degree of craftsmanship is rare in our times. Her colours and materials are well-selected. This personal and professional quality of development applies to all parts of her presentation.Jury member  Joachim Schirrmacher, Creative Consultant, Berlin
