I recently founded a great austrian designer named Christina Berger. She is very young but in my opinion she has great concept and style. I interviewed her and I share it with you
:
- Where did you go to school? When did you finish your studies?
I started studying fashion design in 2003 at the
VIENNA Fashion
Institute Hetzendorf (before I did some short courses at the London
College of Fashion and St.Martin’s…- no regular studies)
One year after I left the Fashion institute to start at the
university of
applied arts- 2004
Raf Simons was the teacher there;
I am still a student of the Fashion class under
Veronique Branquinho but
in Áutumn 2006 I decided to have my own label, I was bored by beeing only
a student…;
- What inspired your last collection?
The last collection was inspired by
HEIDI, the girl from the alps and
American Psycho.. I am always mixing contraire topics.. to create
something new; Heidi stands for traditional costumes,pittoresque
landscapes and costums…..american psycho for the male killer in an urban
surrounding;
The collection was called: HEIDI WAS A SERIAL KILLER- VOLUME ONE S/S 08-
At the moment I am doing
HEIDI WAS A SERIAL KILLER- VOLUME TWO- A colouredversion A/W 08/09 which will be presented during the
Berlin Fashion Week
from 1st-3rd Feb 08 at the APARTMENT SHOWROOM;
the collection includes pieces like traditional knit bomber
jacketes…terror mask with traditional knit-……etc in really bright
colours;
- Where can we buy your collection?
You can buy my collections in
APARTMENT, Berlin and hopefully in
Tokyo

some more clients.-
