KILIAN KERNER

At 2 PM on Friday July 3rd, 2009, the fashion label KILIAN KERNER will take to the catwalks of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the third time in a row. “Tagebucheinträge” (engl. Diary Entries) which is Kilian Kerner’s ninth collection, remains true to his emotional approach to design: Five anonymous diary entries served as inspiration for this 2010 summer collection.

Sensuality is the buzzword for Kilian Kerner’s women’s line. His emphasis is on dresses, from long evening gowns and elegant cocktail dresses to casual shirt dresses. Design elements of circles and pleats stand out and resurface in other product groups. Fabrics such as silk, silk jersey, cotton, leather and pony laser underscore the sensual color palette of gold, green, white and black.

The men’s line by contrast is laid back. Classic design meets rockabilly. Here Kilian Kerner plays with silhouettes, making a departure from form fitting clothing and instead offering fresh interpretations. The color palette moves within a range of classic tones of blue, black, grey and silver.

This year Kilian Kerner will be presenting work in cooperation with Berlin designer Anja Bruhn, with whom he has created bags and belts for the label Kerner&Bruhn. „We were eager to collaborate, as we compliment each other extremely well,“ said Kilian Kerner of their teamwork. Along with the accessories derived from this collaboration, models will also be wearing sumptuous jewelry from the Hamburg label ElfCraft, which counts the likes of Victoria Beckham and Depeche Mode among its admirers.

This year, the „fashion and music“ concept will enter its fifth season and, here too, Kilian Kerner has a creative partner: The band Mor/La/Peach will performance „Savages,“ a song created especially for Kilian Kerner’s show, for the first time at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin.

A further highlight of the show will be that the roughly 40 KILIAN KERNER models will exclusively appear upon a classy tile catwalk from the stalwart house of Villeroy & Boch.
