Young Designers Award Winners F/W 2016/17

Young Designers Award Winners F/W 2016/17
Premium International Trade Show has announced the Young Designers Fall/Winter 2016/2017 winner.  Check out Showcase Winners S/S 2016 January 15-30.  

WOMENSWEAR

NOBI TALAI

Elaborately wrapped and lavishly draped. A graduate of Berlin’s ESMOD fashion school, Nobieh Talaei’s designs have enchanted both fashion writers and buyers alike. She has also been selected as a mentee for the Fashion Council Germany’s mentoring program and is this season’s winner of the PREMIUM Young Designers Award in the “Womenswear” category. The up-and-coming designer takes inspiration from the way of life of the Persian nomads. Elaborate wrap dresses, lavishly draped, high-neck long blouses and voluminous, flowing trousers exude coolness and sophistication.

MENSWEAR

CSB London

With CSB, Christopher Brogden has realized his vision of uniting traditional craftsmanship with sporty elements. Brogden takes inspiration from the captivating dandy look and the lifestyle of the “flaneur”, and this is reflected in his creations. The result: contemporary coolness. His latest collection features strong silhouettes and experimental surface textures. But Brogden is by no means a newcomer to the fashion business. He made a name for himself as Head of Design at Donna Karen New York and as a design consultant at Tommy Hilfiger. Christopher Brogden has been awarded the PREMIUM Young Designers Award in the “Menswear” category for his young label’s impressive Fall/Winter 2016/17 collection.

ACCESSOIRES

CAMILLA ELPHICK 

Premium, hand-crafted footwear fashions from Italy decorated with individual prints are the trademark of Camilla Elphick, a London-based designer who learnt product design from scratch. Before specializing in footwear design at the University of the Arts in London, Elphick was a student at New York’s Parsons School of Design. Her offbeat creations are already gaining ground globally. Alongside Europe’s fashion capitals, Camilla Elphick shoes can also be found in Hong Kong and Beirut. Her designs are inspired by the world’s cities and feature names such as “Princess Corgi” and “Mademoiselle Poodle”.

SEASON´S SPECIAL

LAAIN 
Season’s Special (activewear)

Fashion that can be worn both in the gym and in an executive meeting is more in demand than ever, and this trend hasn’t gone unnoticed by Sheila McKain-Waid and Tamara Rothstein, two designers who have chosen to make their home in London. With their LAAIN label, the duo has decided to specialize in activewear. Their impressive collection, which combines classic sportwear elements with luxurious fabrics and a modern, minimalist elegance, is the reason why LAAIN was crowned winner in the “Season’s Special” category. Founded a mere three years ago in 2013, LAAIN won approval right from the start: the two young designers’ first collection celebrated its début in high-end online shop Net-a-porter.

Last season PREMIUM began organizing guided Young Talents tours whereby members of the press along with industry professionals could access key information about the collections and meet with specific designers. These tours are a vital source of information both for the press and buyers, allowing them to get ahead of the competition when it comes to finding the newest labels. As last season’s tours were met with such a positive response, we will be hosting another round of talent tours this season, which will take place between 19 and 21 January. Buyers, members of the press and fashion professionals can register for the event. Alongside the winners from the current Fall/Winter season 2016/17, the PREMIUM Talent Tour will also feature winners from the past Summer season.

A new feature of this year’s event is that the stands of the selected winning brands will be placed in the relevant hall for their specific segment instead of at a joint stand as was done previously. This is so that visitors can experience these young designers within an environment that matches their individual theme and brand.


The PREMUM Young Talents Showcase, featuring in the display windows of Galeries Lafayette, will take place from 15 to 30 January, 2016. During the trade show, the PREMIUM Shuttle Service will be stopping outside the store on 23 Französische Straße for those who would like to see the showcase.

Premium Dissonance Area 2013: Fashion Event News



Just as PREMIUM consistently reinvents itself, so too do its visitors and participants get to experience a whole new world of emotions with every new season. Stepping into the DISSONANCE AREA, PREMIUM’s hall for the avant-garde collections, is like embarking on an uncharted journey of inspiration.


The art- and music-inspired exhibition hall, laid out in the clean, artsy style of a gallery, will present collections that not only exhibit clean lines and production quality of the highest technical levels, but also make a statement with extreme colors, patterns, and eccentric detailing.
Hence the name DISSONANCE, a place where a contradictory mix of labels find a place they belong. What they all have in common is their thirst for varied creative influences, drawing inspiration from the visual arts, music, film, and performance and its use of light and space, color or the lack thereof.

The PREMIUM DISSONANCE AREA makes a real impression with its unique decoration concept, the work of art directors and designers Sergio Eusebi and Livio Graziottin. Full of metal objects and mirror pieces, the DISSONANCE AREA makes a strong visual statement and provides the perfect backdrop for the unique brands exhibited in the space.

Brands presented in the DISSONANCE AREA:
ANETT RÖSTEL • ASGER JUEL LARSEN • BARBARA I GONGINI • BYUNGMUN SEO • DEMOO PARKCHOONMOO • FRANZISKA MICHAEL • HANNES ROETHER • HENRIK VIBSKOV • ILARIUSSS • JOURNAL • KOKON TO ZAI • KUBORAUM • ODEUR • REALITY STUDIO • RUNDHOLZ • TOTHEM • UMASAN • VK LILLIE

Modern Leather Moto Jackets for Elite Clientele

New Luxury Leather Fashion House Launches Premium Line of Moto Jackets for Elite Clientele
Women's White Leather Moto Jacket

White Moto Sheep Skin Leather Jacket with Belt

The classic leather jacket has received a luxe, modern update with the latest collection from exclusive design house, Michael Lombard Modern Moto Jackets. Building upon a style staple, the sumptuous new take on the ubiquitous moto uses only premium 100% calf skin and sheepskin leather and durable metal hardware to craft each meticulously designed outerwear article. It is an innovative collection, tailored towards dressing the elite.

Committed to craftsmanship, every cut, fold and stitch that goes into each ML Moto Jacket is executed to perfection. While the leather jacket has its roots in raw, rugged workwear this premium offering is better suited to high-class events or public appearances where there is a need to dress to impress.
Calf Skin Moto Jacket

Michael Lombard, CEO and designer said, “There are certain articles in fashion that are quite simply timeless. Alongside the little black dress, the turtle neck sweater and Levi 501s, the leather jacket is simply iconic. In my latest collection I respect its defining features while also creatively pushing the boundaries of what it stands for. I’ve taken the classic and updated it for the modern day. After a painstaking process of hand-sketching many initial designs, striving for perfection, the final collection that is showcased by ML Moto Jackets embodies this mixture of contemporary and classic perfectly, presented through luxury.”

While the visual impact of each ML Moto Jacket is bold, the experience of wearing each sheep or calf skin outerwear creation is nothing but subtle. Produced using sophisticatedly soft hides, these leathers are the highest grade available, providing comfort, longevity and a long-lasting, premium product. 

The range of must-have leather jackets from ML Moto is available for men and women, with a variety of designs and colors to choose from. Alongside the classic ‘moto’ silhouette, a military offering and a longer line coat are just some of the choices given to stylish women, while men enjoy variations on the classic featuring ribbed detailing, additional zips and even a premium western shirt style, each article crafted using the finest quality leather.

About the company:

Michael Lombard Modern Moto Jackets is an exclusive designer brand, renowned for high-end men's and women’s genuine calf and sheep kin leather outerwear. It combines exceptional quality with contemporary design, producing hand-crafted moto jackets and additional styles, providing premium leather for the elite client.
