In Germany, functionalism is so important in design, aesthetics and culture, that it is no surprise that functional clothing has become very popular. The 24-piece men’s collection “Über Funktion” (Reflections on Functionalism) questions the principle of “form follows function”. How can fashion and function be reconciled? What type of man wears this clothing? How does it make him feel? What does it say about him?
This elegant collection brings together the desire for more functional clothing and a strong desire for individuality and aesthetics. Functional materials such as waterproof membranes, fleece, and softshell fabrics play a key role in this collection. Highly crafted techniques are demonstrated on pullovers and leggings with quilted details. The collection also features timeless dresses that stand in opposition to a culture of waste.
