The first edition of Modesuisse took place last Saturday at Papiersaal in Zurich by invitation only. Marc Stone was one of the twelve Swiss brands that took part in this exciting new project.
Here are the first backstage pictures of Modesuisse that we wanted to share.

Tomás Saraceno's installations shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture.
The gardens hang in the air and allow visitors to float in space. Saraceno draws inspiration from soap bubbles and the incredible strength and flexibility of spider webs.
Galleries Lafayette
Marc Stone is honored to participate this year at the GALERIES LAFAYETTE.
The visitors will enjoy the Marc Stone window display on "Französische Strasse" from the 9th until 22nd of January during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.
During three fair days, the visitors were delighted 3 times per day with a fashion performance produced by the well-known Yannick Aellen. The performance was a fusion of fashion, music and art; the result of this combination was an extraordinary placing on stage of ballet dancers who shared catwalk with models who wore Marc Stone looks.
Our desire to link our work with art has led us, for a third year, to design all the costumes in exclusive which are seen on the stage of the play " A Love Song".
On Saturday, we showcased at "Les Trouvailles de Fiona" with LaLotta and Burri Optic. The show was divided into a dark and a bright part. The dark part was avant-garde influenced and showed the rough side of the man. Black make-up, cords and frames strengthened the look and reminded of Anselm Kiefer. In contrast to the bright part of the show with soft touch and elegant looks.
We are all very excited; the fabrics are finally selected, the moodboards created and the colours picked. Now the exciting part starts; working on the prototypes. I can already tell you the inspiration for the new winter collection is discovering new worlds.
Campaign Scattered Affairs

Today I would like to introduce you the images of our new ad campaign:
Winter landscapes in the forestland, materials such as paper and wood form the framework build this story. Each scene is inspired on various aspects from the work of Anselm Kiefer. In the backdrop of a nearby forest we captured the inner worlds of Anselm Kiefer

Roadtrip part 3: New York
{gallery}Blog/2011-10-14-NY{/gallery}
Even if I run from one to the next appointment, I try to create free spaces to get new inspiration. Then I explore the streets and alleys away from tourist routes, visit exhibitions and galleries, and discover small individual boutiques ...
Roadtrip part 2: Berlin
{gallery}Blog/2011-10-14-Berlin{/gallery}
I love Berlin. Why? Enjoy my captured moments. Berlin combines old and new, business and creativity, snobbery and anarchy, chic and trash. The earlier boundaries between East and West are gone long time ago. The result is creative freedom.
Roadtrip part 1: Milan
{gallery}Blog/2011-10-14-Milan{/gallery}
And these are the first pictures of our collection in Milan.
On one side the collection is in light gray, sand colors and soft materials such as linen and jersey. On the opposite dyed and washed cotton in dark colours contrast, to create a worn look, bright red contrasts the bright and dark side of this collection. More you will to get to know when the collection hits the stores in spring.
Collection autumn/winter 2011
{gallery}Blog/2011-08-15{/gallery}
I transferred the style of Anselm Kiefer to my new collection with different colour layers and completed it with other raw materials. Raw-cut, washed and dyed cotton in used-optic stands for the past and contrasts the soft materials like jersey and cotton. Asymmetric collars in shirts I combine with trousers in low-crotched style. They reflect the artistic avant-garde aspect of Anselm Kiefer's work. Dark colours in various shades of grey are broken with muted green and bright rust tones.
Scattered Affairs
{gallery}Blog/2011-08-01{/gallery}
The theme of the collection autumn/winter 11 Scattered Affairs is framed by a confrontation with the past. The installations, paintings and artwork of Anselm Kiefer has inspired my work. In his work he succeeds to produce a relationship between art and history.
Roadtrip
{gallery}Blog/2011-07-15{/gallery}
Milan, Paris, Berlin, NY: That was my trip last month. The reason: The order and trade show season just started for the new summer collection 2012.
Even if I rush from one to the next appointment, I try to create a free space for new inspiration. Then I explore the streets and alleys away from tourist routes, visit exhibitions and galleries, and discover small individual boutiques and get new inspiration. Have a look here on the first part of my road trip:
Premium Young Designers Award
{gallery}Blog/2011-07-27{/gallery}
We are the winner of the Premium Young Designers Award in the category menswear.
With our new collection Project 12, we gained the Young Designers Award of the Premium Exhibitions this year. Since 2006 the organizers award this prize to promote national and international young designers. In the stylish store F95 in Berlin we were allowed to present our collection to a professional audience. The great thing is that we get in January a stand at the next fair, support for press and and a sales area at the F95.
Today I'll show you the backstage video of Chivas Night. The team and me were filmed at the fitting and during the show. The talented Thanakone Watanayaem shooted the video. Enjoy the small making-of.
