Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin A/W 2016: Anja Gockel

On January 20, 2016 Lounge by Zalando Magazine went to the Anja Gockel Fashion Show in the heart of Berlin. The German fashion designer presented her new, Asian-inspired looks.

Before the show, visitors were able to get tips on their outfit, make-up, hair and nails as well as get their make-up and hair done. The brands present were, among others, Manhattan, Catrice and L’Oréal.

Celebrities like Rolf Scheider, former member of the Germany’s next Topmodel jury, were interviewed while other stars of the fashion industry gathered around the runway. Anja Gockel celebrates her 20th anniversary this year.

A light-footed dancer opened the show with Japanese music in the background. The first dresses of the collection were accompanied by the song Bossy by Tahi Mowry. Anja Gockel presented a three-part concept:

Floral and leave patterns on black textiles.

The designer places great emphasis on the feminine silhouette. Slim-fit dresses are underlined by wide belts and you can see high-waisted trousers and skirts.

In the coming autumn, the world of fashion can look forward to muted earth colours with colourful highlights and classic cuts with flowing and lightweight materials.
