Malaikaraiss' fashion makes women's hearts beat faster

At the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in spring / summer 2014

When delicate powder, soft beige and lovely flamingo combine with a bright tile blue and oriental elements, high tension is created. Malaika Raiss (28) presented her Spring / Summer 2014 collection "Gypset", a word of art made of Gypsy and jet-set, at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin. Maxi.de met the designer shortly before the show in the backstage area.

"Everything has gone well so far, all the models are there, there is not much left to go wrong, " says Malaika Raiss about an hour before the show. And it should not.

Her collection, inspired by Marrakech, palm-covered oases and the Jardin Majorelle, inspired with oriental ornaments in graphic to reduced implementation as well as flowing volume without stark contrasts.

The highlights of Malaikaraiss were again the material surfaces : coarsely woven herringbone made of silk, a linen mix in pure blue, pink dupion silk, organza for transparent moments, knit in cashmere nylon yarns.

"We only use fabrics from manufacturers we know personally, we know where they are made and how they are dyed, do not use materials that can not be recycled, and only produce in the EU, " says Malaika Raiss, "We are not an eco-label but try to ensure sustainability within our framework. "

Classics such as chiffon, crêpe de chine or viscose in the collection meet with coatings made of liquid plastic that have been mixed with Swarovski crystals to give the impression of a lunar crater landscape. "With a harmonious summer outfit, something has to happen in the surface or in the cut so that it stays exciting, " says Malaika Raiss. The designer's favorite look: a flamingopined dupion silk blouse with powder-colored chiffon pants and a coarser herringbone jacket.

Another eye-catcher was the statement jewelry by Sabrina Dehoff, which was specially made for the show by Malaikaraiss .

Malaikaraiss' looks are very feminine and pretty, strong and delicate at the same time.

Fashion of women for women.
