today. More than 50 designers presented their Spring/Summer 2015 Collections from July 8-11, 2014
at Erika-Hess-Eisstadium in Berlin, Wedding.
“I would like to thank the city of Berlin for their support at a time when we needed to find an
alternative location”, said Jarrad Clark, Vice President and Global Creative Director, IMG Fashion
Events & Properties. “Over the past 4 days, we saw incredibly creative collections and shows. The
German fashion landscape has so much talent and receives an enormous amount of editorial support.
It is the perfect time for the industry, especially retailers, to get behind their designers. This season,
28 designers showing at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin were from the city we call home and we
are so proud of them and all the brands that show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.”
