Stripes – The New Stars

Whether horizontal or vertical, wide or narrow: in the coming season, side stripes will be the superstars on tops, dresses and trousers. German brand Liv Bergen, a label for whom jersey takes centre stage, is showing that this feel-good material can look chic as well as casual. The collection combines influences from the 60s, 70s and 80s, retro patterns and colours ranging from red and violet to pink. Bringing it bang up to date, high-tech sportswear materials are also incorporated. Our highlight: the camel coloured trackpants with contrasting purple knitted stripes that add the perfect flourish and also make your legs look longer.

The Perfect Performer

Thanks to innovative materials, winter clothes can nowadays also look the part on cool summer evenings. Just like the ‘supreme Weatherwear’ collection by G-lab where temporary design meets high-tech and high-quality workmanship results in truly sustainable quality. a faithful companion all year round is the blue parka with understated colour contrasts. innovative materials convince with breathable, waterproof and windproof properties. The new cotton blend outer material with a matt finish has a pleasantly soft feel and the colour contrasting lining is not only a real eye-catcher, but also comes equipped with a quick-dry function.

Go Athleisure!

Since 2014, the Berlin-based brand Arys has become one of the most innovative young clothing labels. Their outerwear collections are always functional and impress with minimal designs. fabric innovations like ‘origami Knit’, ‘Coated Tech-Knit’ and ‘Kerora 11 Layer’ satisfy even the most discerning tastes. almost all the materials used are breathable, stretchable, antibacterial and offer UV protection. Our favourite is a mix of casual streetwear and functional sportswear: the canary-yellow sweater, a true performer through and through.

We Love Canada!

For summer 2019, the luxurious brand Moose Knuckles is concentrating on its North American roots and drawing inspiration from Canada’s best graphic designs from the 1960s and 70s. The ‘summer of 67’ homage to the golden era of graphic design is being projected onto outdoor designs and adds retro charm to the collection, while technical fabrics as well as cropped and oversized cuts give the designs a contemporary look. The padded rain parka made of combat twill bridges the seasons perfectly. and we also love the two different red tones in Tetris-style.

All Good!

The German brand merz b. Schwanen brought out their first knitwear collection under the new management of Peter and Gitta Plotnicki in 2011. Tops and trousers, densely woven with a robust feel, quickly met with great approval. Previously having focused on menswear only, the label is now developing a ladies’ summer collection with basics such as jumpers, cardigans, jogging pants and accessories like scarves and hats. The pieces, in a delicate colour palette of grey, melange and powdery pastel tones, are already available.
