Bunte’s annual New Faces Award Fashion during Düsseldorf Fashion Week has seen some very deserving winners in fashion, accessories and shoes.
In the Best Fashion Label category, Achtland, a Berlin label by Oliver Lühr and Thomas Bentz, took the honours. They were awarded red panther statuettes and prize money of €10,000.
Tom Zauke won in the Best Accessories Label category. Marion Henry, on the jury, said, ‘The pieces by Tom Zauke are very reminiscent of works of art. They are both visionary and sustainable.’
Best Shoe Design went to Joachim van Kann for his innovative shoe designs, and took home a cash prize of €5,000.
The jury also included Eickhoff owner Susanne Asbrand-Eickhoff, Fashion Net Düsseldorf’s Wolfgang Johannes Hein and Bunte editor-in-chief Patricia Riekel.
Furniture company Kare Design partnered with Bunte. Kare created a space in an Ibiza style, furnished with floor cushions, benches and lanterns, at which Bunte honoured the best up-and-coming designers.
Celebrities and guests attending included Kriemhild Siegel, Alexandra Polzin, Julia Schönhofen, Olivia Schönhofen, Nazan Eckes, Martin Obermeyr, Manuel Cortez, Frauke Ludowig, Guido Maria Kretschmer, Kena Amoa, Kai Ebel and Milla Wiegand, Thomas Rath, Sandro Rath, Jasmin Schwiers, Thomas Hayo and Jorge Gonzalez, Luca Gadjus, Aleksandra Bechtel, Franziska Knuppe, and Liz Baffoe.
Düsseldorf Fashion Week sees some 1,000 guests, including celebrities, and was considered by Kare to be an opportunity to show its trend-setting style.
