SWD/Skyward [out of Sweden]
This is the first season of Swedish designer Annika Berger's collection line called SWD/Skyward. For this season her concept is mental shield in urban life style.
She says it is one's own choice when to be exposed and have a high profile, or when to hide and stay in the shadow. Sure enough, this oversize hoodie is big enough that you can wear as camouflage of city scenes or either you can express yourself as a street guerrilla fashionista.
It depends on what you decide to be in our chaotic city.

Pelican Avenue -intro


AW07 - Pelican Avenue [ out of Antwerp, Belgium ]
Pelican Avenue was founded in 2004 by Carolin Lerch, a graduate from the Antwerp Academy of Fashion and a former assistant of Bernhard Willhelm.
The label‘s intention is to question traditional codes in fashion, to propose a different approach, to avoid stagnation and self-satisfaction. A starting point of the collections and series of items are personal multi-layered reflections. The products have to support the expression of these ideas.
Some of the series are still adapted to less abstract pieces of clothing.
The intention of the whole project as well as the items themselves is rather challenging the unknown than developing one certain style or idea.
