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. Sein Ziel ist es, den Designnachwuchs zu fördern und an Wirtschaft und Industrie heranzuführen. Ausgelobt wird der European Fashion Award FASH von der gemeinnützigen Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie, kurz SDBI.

European Fashion Award FASH 2016 / 20. May 2015

Change

We are on the eve of a new era. The European Fashion Award FASH 2016 with the subject “Change” is searching for visions of a new era.
Wars, conflicts and catastrophes are not the only issues that change the way we view our world. There is no question: Digitalisation and globalisation enhance and facilitate our life, yet they also have a fundamental impact on the world. Smartphones make every networking attempt of the past look like a simple prelude. The start-up culture, shareconomy, co-creation, crowdsourcing and swapping, as well as the disruptive business models of international investors have created a completely new kind of economy. Hardly any industry remains unaffected by this change.
How can fashion react to all these changes? Should there be more adaptation, subversive strategies, or should we dream completely new dreams? Who will ride the wave of change and claim the future? More

Statements

“I have been observing the work of SDBi since its beginnings and in particular since my involvement with the jury in 2011. The evident genuine interest in new international creative talent was always the core value of the SDBI. This makes it inspirational for creatives, jury members and associates alike. Further support for future projects is vital and beneficial for both the industry and the young talent in order to further connect on a continuous basis and prepare for the tough challenges ahead.”
Torsten Hochstetter, Global Creative Director, Puma

“Visions, creativity and passion are the components with which SDBI sets sustainable signals for the future of the otherwise fast-moving fashion world.”
Laudation “Germany – Land of Ideas”

“The European Fashion Award FASH is neither a local project nor a faceless global story. SDBI does not only focus on beauty but also looks at the concept behind the fashion. We share this requirement for quality, combined with an international appeal.”
Daniel and Markus Freitag, Founders and Creative Directors FREITAG.
