Hallo Nacht
“Ich brauch’ keinen Schlaf
Der Kaffee ist stark
Die Nacht ist der schönste Tag”
“Hallo Nacht”, Kraftklub, Album: “Keine Nacht für Niemand” (2017)
could i be wrong – but since you’ve been gone
I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
Who constructs the *electro* in your *couture* ?
Fashion combined with technology is no longer the future. It’s just become our present. Fashion designers like Zac Posen already created clothes with LED lights or heat pads inside. But there are much more opportunities we want to share with you!

Recently, we met a lot of interesting people at Wear It Festival in Berlin, an event filled with exciting news about fashion and technology, wearable technology and innovation.
One of the companies we got to know there is ELEKTROCOUTURE, which was founded in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Some designers and technologists from Elektrocouture led a workshop at the festival and showed us how to create such extraordinary luminous necklaces (including LEDs)!
While bending and soldering our jewelry, we curiously chatted with the workshop leaders about Elektrocouture. Those guys are managing all technology aspects of the projects that are delegated to them. That means: If you are a fashion designer and created for example some jackets with shining pockets, you can hire Elektrocouture for the technical realization!
They also work with 3D printers and similar innovative technology. We suggest you to have a look at their projects!
It’s fascinating to think about what fashion might be in the next years.
More impressions from Wear It Festival are coming soon!

Materialien spielen in der Mode eine ungemein wichtige Rolle. Dass zugunsten eines niedrigeren Preisniveaus oftmals sowohl Umweltstandards als auch Menschenrechte bei der Produktion außer Acht gelassen werden, ist nichts neues. Besonders in den letzten Jahren sind die Auswirkungen dieser Produktionsweise ersichtlicher denn je geworden. Ein Umdenken und Einschreiten seitens der Modedesigner ist deshalb unbedingt notwendig und vollzieht sich vor allem bei jungen Labels.

Eda Yorulmazoglu @Berlin Alternative Fashion Week 2017
A lot of fantasy creatures and a big pink fish which is chilling the whole show on the ground of the runway.
Eda Yorulmazoglu‘s lovely and strange costume-like clothes told us a story. Supported by mimes and short slogans, it seemed to be more a theatre scene than a runway show. After this spectale I needed some minutes in order to return to the reality.
This is part of Eda’s intention. The clothes she designs Continue reading

Die Show begann mit einer tänzerischen Ouverture.

Weiter ging es mit einer im klassischen Stil gehaltenen Modenschau. Das Innere des Berghains verwandelte sich in eine kathedralenartige Halle…
