PREMIUM and SEEK: A new heartbeat

The PREMIUM and SEEK teams around Anita Tillmann and Jörg Arntz prove their skills with the success of the new Trend and Event Platform. The format, newly shortened to just two days, showed a total of 450 curated, international brands of the new generation, with 250 brands at PREMIUM and 200 brands at SEEK. The motto was quality over quantity. In addition to the brands, the focus was clearly on the know-how of experts from sustainability, tech, and business. If you didn't discover or learn anything new in the last two days you missed out. Visitors from all over the world came to Station Berlin to see what the Premium Group had come up with for this edition - and it did not disappoint.

PREMIUM reinvents itself
The newly curated brand portfolio with many international and unexposed brands were very well received by the community and invited buyers and visitors to explore a diverse, exciting, and coherent brand landscape. The atmosphere was characterised by lightness, lots of sunshine, and good conversations.

The atmosphere was characterised by lightness, lots of sunshine, and good conversations.

For the first time, PREMIUM and the Fashion Council Germany joined forces to present the showroom "CURATED by Fashion Council Germany" with avant-garde designers from Germany and Ukraine. The tech format Yonnaverse addressed the most important innovations for profitability and sustainable growth through digital progress. The event took place physically, digitally, and in the Metaverse.

Iranian artist and milliner Maryam Keyhani showed what surrealism marketing and tangible art can look like with her oversized hat, which floated happily over the grounds and caused surprised faces. The installation by the Italian designer Innerrraum from Berlin was dedicated to Anita Tillmann in gratitude for her international success. Artists such as Sophie Douala from France, Claudia Gillies from New Zealand, and Grycja Erde from Ukraine were a welcome addition in making the PREMIUM visit an experience.

The diverse portfolio also included a range of beauty brands and the beauty lounge offered much-loved make-up, hair and nail touch ups. There were also many new things to discover in the retail sphere. Vintage & Rags presented a new retail concept for second-hand fashion and SPSR showed how to take retail entertainment to the next level through unique live consumer engagement. On the Content Cube stage, Daniel Steindorf, the former owner of Überfahrt, spoke with Inga Klaassen from J'N'C about hospitality fusion, community, and retail, next to other speakers.

SEEK put a stronger focus on sustainability
As in previous editions, a relaxed and positive mood prevailed at SEEK. The community was happy to finally fall into each other's arms again. SEEK convinced with high-quality and original brands and an even stronger focus on sustainability. For the first time, SEEK's brand portfolio consisted of 50% sustainable brands, further strengthening the Conscious Club and allowing it to flourish. The Conscious Club was supported by the sustainability experts from studio MM04, whose 202030 - The Berlin Fashion Summit Denim Pop-up ensured a full Content Cube.

Decision-makers and fashion professionals discussed the learnings of the denim transformation, the new green claims of the EU textile strategy as well as pragmatic solutions on how to remain and act more sustainable and competitive as an industry and individual brand. As a counterpart to Black Friday, Cold Friday, initiated by Dojo Cares, was presented as the "biggest awareness campaign since sales days have existed". Fair fashion and fair working conditions were the focus of the final conference of the "Good Clothes Fair Pay" press conference by Fashion Revolution, which was also part of the Conscious Club. On top of a lot of sustainability inspiration, for the first time there was a space for D2C brands such as VGB and ADR Atelier Roupa, who were involved both as brands and as speakers in the content programme. For two days, two stages were filled with talks and panels with the most relevant themes from fashion, lifestyle, culture and business. Gen Z, Gen Y and Gen Alpha met for espresso martinis and club culture vibes at "Platte raves the Ground" to discover and stage the coolest styles of the scene.

Mönchengladbach - Vor fünf Jahren stürzte in Bangladesch die Textilfabrik Rana Plaza ein, über 1135 Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter starben. Der Fachbereich Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik der Hochschule Niederrhein nimmt dieses traurige Ereignis zum Anlass, um im Rahmen einer bundesweiten Aktionswoche über Nachhaltigkeit in der Textilindustrie zu diskutieren. Am Donnerstag, 26. April 2018, sprechen der Näher Hasmukh Dodhi und der Fabrikmanager Amid Narke über die Herausforderungen in der Branche und die Chancen durch Fairtrade. Das Gespräch moderiert Prof. Dr. Rudolf Voller vom Fachbereich Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik.

Der Mönchengladbacher Fachbereich setzt sich seit 2012 für fairen Handel und nachhaltige Bekleidungsproduktion ein. Auch die Stadt Mönchengladbach unterstützt als Fairtrade Town die Aktivitäten. Die von dem Verein TransFair organisierte Aktionswoche möchte die Diskussion über die Arbeitsbedingungen in der Textilproduktion fördern. „Wir möchten unsere Studierenden frühzeitig mit der Thematik der nachhaltigen Textilproduktion vertraut machen“, sagt Voller, der auch Gründungsmitglied des Kompetenzzentrums EthNA der Hochschule Niederrhein ist.

Am sogenannten Fashion Revolution Day diskutieren Studierende, Lehrende und Gäste über den Fairtrade-Textilstandard, die Rolle der Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten sowie die Zukunft von Fair Fashion. Die Gäste Hasmukh Dodhi und Amid Narke arbeiten beide bei Purecotz ecolifestyles. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz im indischen Mumbai verarbeitet ausschließlich Bio- und Fairtrade-Baumwolle und will auf diese Weise zeigen, dass eine öko-faire Textilproduktion möglich ist.
