The female figure is accentuated with narrow waist belts. Floral pattern on chiffon blouses and apparels are combined with woolen fabrics and stripe pattern. Another trend important trend: utility pants with side pockets. There are boho-embroidery and lace appliqués – Minimalism is clearly no longer an issue.

Louise Friedlaender

The young talent Louise Friedlaender also celebrated this year her debut at the Berlin Fashion Week. Her inspiration for the Autumn / Winter 2016/2017 collection are "tears" and the motto "As Tears Go By". This is more a metaphor, not as an element. Thus, memories are the ground of patches and patchwork patterns that run through the entire collection. Safran is the trend color of this Fashion Week and so you can see it here increasingly. Draped skirts with long belt straps and patch pockets in contrasting colors a a important part of her collection. Sequins and sparkling details are also successful eye-catcher. The skirts are high-slitted, clothes and cuts are straight and even here the waist is emphasized. The military-style can be seen back next winter. Whether as a coat or pants, the details are omnipresent again.
