Mode Suisse Edition 18

Mode Suisse Edition 18 took place in a modern setting of a newly opened co-working space and event location – Brooklyn-like loft in Zurich – VN Residency. At the 2020 autumn edition during the challenging times of COVID-19 ten Swiss designer brands showed their collections in a form of short runways and showrooms to the media and creative minds of the city:

• Garnison (Porrentruy) characteristically played with gender expectations, aiming to define new codes while still respecting the established rules of menswear.
• NOMADISSEM’s (Schaffhausen) collection was inspired by the contrast with nature’s power and the elegance of open water sailing.
• HEAD – Genève alumni ak lebinôme presented their first gender fluid collection consisting of manipulated images from personal memories printed on bold textiles.
• MOURJJAN (Zurich, Beirut, Klosters) teamed up with Vanto (Biel) once again to create an accessories collection oozing with self-confidence designed to reset mind and spirit, entitled “Reimagine. Reset. Reinvent.”.
• amorphose (Lugano) presented a capsule collection simply named, “I love you”, which translated into an exquisite aesthetic reminiscent of Bello’s couture roots. 
• NINA YUUN’s (Burgdorf) baby son Bada provided the inspiration for a collection that offered clothes for strong, independent women who are also kind and gentle.
