Berlin has always been a hotspot for art enthusiasts, however the city’s fashion scene is proving to be a perfect breeding ground for intriguing fashion talent as well. Case in point: the debut collection of ESMOD Berlin graduate Carmina Blank.

Entitled SOLIDS, Blank’s range of womenswear designs was inspired by the likes of Simona Pries and based on the process of shape manipulation and material reinvention.

This translates into clean-lined yet striking looks incorporating unconventional fabrics such as laser-cut and heat-shaped acrylic glass, beechwood veneer strip appliques and silver insulating material. We’re digging this young designer’s eye-catching spin on minimalism and look forward to seeing collection number two.
