Colourful, loud yet still wearable – Each season BARRE NOIR brings a lot of diversity into the typical, everyday grey Berlin through the use of many colours. Founded in 2009, the designer Timm Suessbrich, very quickly, made a name for himself in the fashion world. In January 2014 he celebrated his debut on the Runway with the presentation of his first menswear-creations at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin. Today, BARRE NOIRE already counts nine collections, and through strong determination has evolved into a favored label for all those who seek to spice up their basics with flashy highlights. "We very much take into consideration, that each BARRE NOIRE piece can be combined with pieces from your own wardrobe", says Timm Suessbrich, who, with his collection, stands for a combination of strong patterns mixed with casualness and elegance. The winter collection will as usual be colourful and plays with a strong contrast between casual feel-good looks and noble high end pieces. Floral patterns representing the BARRE NOIRE signature will be combined with blue, green and lilac gradients. Feeling comfortable and looking great at the same time.
