Mode mit Relevanz 

Mit der Rückkehr zum ursprünglichen Selbst setzten sich zwei Kollektionen auseinander.

Stefan Uhr will in seiner Studienarbeit „Atra Vena – An Image Rehearsal Therapy“ die Kontrolle über seine Träume und sein Leben zurückgewinnen, Niclas Hasemann plädiert in seiner Bachelorarbeit „Wunderheiler“ für mehr Empathie und Gemeinschaft in unserer Gesellschaft. Luting Chen hat in ihrer Masterarbeit ein Größensystem entwickelt, mit dem Kleidung flexibel an die sich verändernden Körpermaße von Männern unterschiedlichen Alters angepasst werden kann.

Atra Vena – An Image Rehearsal Therapy

Stefan Uhr hat sich in seinen bisherigen Kollektionen mit der Rückkehr zum ursprünglichen Selbst beschäftigt. So auch in der Kollektion „Atra Vena – An Image Rehearsal Therapy“. 

Die Kollektion verarbeitet die Angst, dass aufgrund einer Fettstoffwechselerkrankung die Adern nach und nach verstopfen und das Herz eines Tages aufhört zu schlagen. Mit der „Imagery Rehearsal Therapy“ werden die für den Träumenden belastenden Szenen bewusst wahrgenommen, gestrichen und durch Positives ersetzt. Im Fall von Stefan Uhr dient die Umsetzung in Textilien dazu, dem Träumenden die Angst zu nehmen und die Kontrolle über seine Träume und sein Leben zurückzugewinnen.

Wunderheiler
Inspiriert vom Werk der Philosophin Simone Weil erkunden die Kollektion und der Film „Wunderheiler“ die Begriffe Rationalität, Spiritualität und die Räume dazwischen. Das Projekt ist eine sanfte Einladung, sich auf vielfältigere Formen des Wissens einzulassen. Die Akzeptanz der eigenen Fehlbarkeit ist ein erster Schritt auf dem Weg zu mehr Empathie und Gemeinschaft – Voraussetzungen für die Heilung der individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Krankheiten unserer Zeit. Schließlich hängt die Menschlichkeit eines jeden von der Menschlichkeit der anderen ab. Handwerkliche Techniken wie Handweben, Drucken oder die traditionelle Färbemethode Kakishibu werden behutsam eingesetzt und geben Impulse, sich auf das Ungewisse einzulassen.

Timeless
Luting Chen hat ein neues flexibles Größensystem für Männermode entwickelt. Damit kann ein Kleidungsstück flexibel an die sich verändernden Körpermaße von Männern unterschiedlichen Alters angepasst werden. Ziel ist es, die Mode inklusiver und nachhaltiger zu machen, ihre Lebensdauer zu verlängern und die Abfallmenge in der Modeindustrie aufgrund falscher Größen zu reduzieren.
Grundlage sind Studien über die Entwicklung der Körperform und der Fettverteilung bei Männern im Alter von 25 bis 84 Jahren. Insbesondere der Brust- und Taillenumfang von Männern So variiert je nach Alter erheblich. Für die wichtigsten Kategorien der Herrenbekleidung wie Anzüge, Hosen und Hemden werden Lösungen wie Falten und Abnäher oder Hosen mit verstellbarem Bund vorgeschlagen.

Der European Fashion Award FASH
Der European Fashion Award FASH zählt zu den international bedeutendsten Förderpreisen für Modestudierende.

European Fashion Award FASH 2022

New fashion from old clothes. That, in short, is the task for the European Fashion Award FASH 2022, whose topic is ‘Re:Create Fashion’. For the first time, it is not seeking out new fashion designs; instead, the aim is to produce a new creative look out of old garments. The competition is open to exceptionally gifted students across the whole of Europe and carries prizes to the value of €5000. It is in line with the textile strategy of the European Commission. More

Sustainable fashion analysis / 16. May 2022

A downward spiral, not a circle

Sustainable, fair fashion has been the subject of intense discussion for decades. Everyone is talking about the circular economy and many fashion companies have announced sustainability projects. The reality, though, is more than disappointing. The European Commission now wants to drive fashion towards sustainability with a comprehensive textile strategy.

Sustainable fashion options / 16. May 2022

Better than the same in green

Targets such as “climate neutral by 2030” sound reassuring. And yet they almost make it sound as if we are already on top of the challenge: the same patterns of consumption, but in green, without the sense of guilt. Analysis, however, shows that the climate crisis cannot be resolved with better technology alone. To clarify the scale of the issue, environmental researcher Dr Sonja Gelger estimates that total consumption in Germany will have to fall by 75% of the average if the climate goals are to be achieved.
This will require regulation, changes to the design of textiles and a lot more research. The greatest challenge, however, is closing the vast gap between knowledge and action. What are our options?

European Fashion Award FASH 2016 Awarded to Seven Promising Young Designers

At the start of Berlin Fashion Week, seven promising young designers were awarded the European Fashion Award FASH 2016. The awards, valued at EUR 200,000 in total, were presented in front of 250 guests on Monday evening by the non-profit organization SDBI –Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie (German Fashion Industry Foundation). The ceremony took place in the impressive halls of Berlin’s Neues Museum, part of the Museum Island UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Shaping Change
Visions for a new era formed the focus of the European Fashion Award FASH 2016’s theme, “Change”. Digital transformation is currently bringing fundamental change to the way fashion is sold, presented, and designed. Online shopping, live streams and Instagram have changed everything. The seven winners of the European Fashion Award FASH 2016 are shaping this change. From demonstrating the potential of purely industrial production to entirely new approaches to sustainable fashion: The creative and technical abilities of the award winners are impressive, and the creative output is fascinating. The award-winning projects focus on concepts exploring fashion’s potential, and have more in common with concept cars than clothing for everyday wear.   More

10 Years European Fashion Award

Speech by Tobias Gröber, Chairman
Full Version

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Winners:
Today marks the 10th presentation of our newcomer designer award, the European Fashion Award FASH. The award started out with modest beginnings and gained a lot of strength along the way.
The non-profit “Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie” (Germany Fashion Industry Foundation), in short SDBI, was founded in 1978 by Klaus Steilmann, at the time Europe’s largest manufacturer of women’s fashion. When Messe München took over the Modewoche München (Munich Fashion Week) in 1996, we also voluntarily took on the management of SDBI. Until 2004 the foundation provided direct endorsement for a small circle of talented students. There was hardly any public relations activity or follow-up support. In 2004 we tasked Joachim Schirrmacher with the reorganization to better meet the challenges of our increasingly more global, faster and more complex world of fashion. More
