Hien Le at MBFWB: So beautiful is wearable fashion!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in spring / summer 2014

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week also opened in the spring / summer season 2014 designer Hien Le . The 32-year-old Laote, who came to Berlin as a baby, designs wearable fashion for women and men. In Berlin, he showed a collection inspired by natural phenomena. We met a relieved designer right after the show.

"I am very satisfied, " says designer Hien Le minutes after his show. He seems relaxed, speaks in a low but steady voice: "We had finished a few days earlier with everything, so we still had time to breathe deeply - and for a relaxed casting and fitting with the models."

"When I see the collection worn for the first time at the fitting, this is my best moment of the entire Fashion Week, " says Hien Le. The icing on the cake is just the fashion show in the tent at the Brandenburg Gate.

Hien Le got inspiration for this spring / summer collection in nature: "I looked at many and aerial photos of forests, clouds or water surfaces and photos from various perspectives." The color at certain times of day inspired me. "

This is how the three color blocks of the collection came into being: white-green, blue shades and a warm coral to apricot in fabrics such as silk, cotton and alcantara. The signature print: the finely drawn detailed view of a dragonfly wing.

"In the summer, everything has to be light and airy, and fashion has to transport the season, " says Hien Le. "Top and skirts are a perfect look."

This summery esprit was underlined by the right soundtrack to the runway show: "That's the way love goes" by Janet Jackson, "I Love You" by Woodkid, "Dancing Anymore" by Is Tropical or "New Song" by Howard Jones.

Three years ago, Hien Le set up his own label, and with this Spring / Summer 2014 collection, the designer has stayed true to his sleek minimalist style: no black, delicate patterns and sophisticated cuts. In addition, exciting details, high-quality fabrics and soft, flowing silhouettes.

Portable fashion in its most beautiful form.
