Some snapshots from the show. Click to enlarge. The background was pretty a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

“When the doors at the Ideal Fashion Show were opened darkness came over us. Definitely no ordinary fashion show to be expected. Romanian designer Olah Gyarfas (Rozalb de Mura is the brand’s name) presented his autumn/winter 2008 collection as some kind of performance. I had the chance to see his designs the day before at the Ideal Showroom and was impressed. Mostly black, and clothes that can be worn in many different ways - you know I love that. Collars that can be added up via press buttons, fluffy down jackets, huge pants that can be made even huger by adding some more fabric with more press buttons. Sophisticated coolness apparently taken out of some stylish science fiction movie.”

Mahret from F&Art had the chance to go to Berlin Fashion Week and experience Rozalb de Mura’s collection. I trust her taste and I know that their clothes are very special, carefully designed and created. And the fact that they had the opportunity to show at Berlin Fashion Week that makes them even cooler. It’s one of those rare moments when I’m proud of my Romanian people.
