UNRATH & STRANO
The designers Klaus Unrath and Ivan Strano met in 1998 while working for Vivienne Westwood in London. In 1999 they decided to work together and showed their first designs at London Fashion Week. They finally moved to Berlin in 2002 and launched their high-end fashion label Unrath & Strano.
The creations of Unrath & Strano are known for their unique cut and ultimate fit. The trademark of the designers is an experimental, three-dimensional cutting technique. With specific drapings and stitchings the designers create feminine fashion for confident women. Along with their prominent haute couture robes the label offers a wearable and extravagant ready-to-wear collection. Exclusive fabrics, prints and premium embroidery characterize their collections. Many celebrities appreciate their designs and wear the robes on red carpet events all around the globe.
MICHAEL SONTAG
Michael Sontag´s perennial and cognitive attitude to the development of his work has remained within his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. He continues to break through the set parameters of fashion, allowing his work to develop with clarity from his previous seasons.
Detached from trends, age and seasons, Michael has created a wearable collection for the elegant, confident and sensual woman. Sontag has maintained the naturalness in his designs, allowing the fabric to fall in dialog with the female forms.
The refreshing colour palette evokes a semblance of breezy Summer days, using a base of muted chalky tones of blue, white and brown. The combination of powdery colours and luminous fabrics, conjure an image of dust glowing in the sunlight.
