It’s an age-old adage that sex sells; one that continues in the fashion world as well.  Sex as a mass-marketing strategy is more popular than ever in the mainstream media, causing both established and cutting-edge designers to shy away from using sex to sell their collections. Such is the theme behind >Sex Sells<, an exhibition composed of outfits and 3D presentations exploring the relationship between sex and clothing.  The exhibition was born out of a study done by 14 academics who explored the topic of baring it all versus being suggestive in the fashion world, under the lead of Prof. Stephan Schneider, Prof. Valeska Schmidt-Thomsen and Dipl-Des Jana Patz. The exhibition will run until May 31, 2008 and will take place at >designtransfer< in the >Universität der Künste< in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

This year sees the introduction of >createurope: THE FASHION ACADEMY AWARD<, a Europe-wide competition for young fashion designers.  The competition is an initiative of the >Goethe-Institutes<, together with >EUNIC Berlin<, the community of European cultures in Berlin.  The website, >www.createurope.com< gives all private and state-suppored fashion schools in Europe the possibility to present themselves, and fashion design students (or those who wish to become design students) a platform where they can inform themselves about the competition, design schools or network with other students.  Those who wish to participate in the competition must apply by June 30 at the Goethe Institute Berlin.  30 finalists will be chosen to present their collection in a fashion show in Berlin in the mid-October.  The winners in three categories „Best Upcoming Designer Award,“ „Best Avant-Garde Award“ and „Best Student Award“ will receive a professional grant in the amount of 5000-25,000 Euro.

Einen frischen Wind in die internationale Modeszene bringen und gleichzeitig den Regeln der Modeindustrie trotzen: genau das hat sich das junge unabhängige Modelabel >, ein Zusammenschluss von jungen Designern aus England, Finnland und Deutschland,  vorgenommen. DOPAMIN, das ist ein Label, das bewusst ohne Marktforschung und Trendscouts auskommt, weil die zwischen 17-23 Jahre alten Designer Tim, Thomas, Rasmus, Laurids, Lari und James nämlich selbst jung sind und aus eigenem Erleben genau wissen was der Markt will. So entwerfen sie einfach genau die Sachen, die sie selbst gerne tragen wollen. Um die Qualität der Produkte zu sichern, werden diese in kleinen und limitierten Stückzahlen hergestellt. Jedes Teil ist ein Unikat und erhält eine eingestickte Identifikationsnummer. Bisher sind fünf Produkte - allerdings nur über die Homepage des Labels - erhältlich.

Egoism and altruism are mutually exclusive qualities or traits that can be tied? The International Fashion School < Berlin dares the public to probe, ponder and prod this challenging question through their newest fashion show .  The show shall be separated into three sections, with each theme (me, myself, we) making an important social commentary through its individual and artistic pieces.  On the same day ESMOD will also be showing its „Collection of Hope“, which is inspired by the culture and country of Kenya and will go towards assisting self help groups in the country.  The presentation of the two collections will take place on the 11.07.08 at the Arena Treptow.
