Berlin- based label Barre Noire presented its SS16 collection on the 09th of July 2015, the third show day during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin,
on the main runway. Cosmopolitan, cool, contemporary. The show started
with a dance performance of Nikeata Thompsen and Jazzmin Marshall.
Endlessly energetic! The music choice contained a remix of various
decades, for instance “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye
& Tammi Terrell, “Hammertime” by MC Hammer, “Feeling Myself” by
Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. Worth of mentioning is also the fact this has
been the first live performance of Nikeata Thompson since 2013. When the
mood of the audience was literally at its best, the show started.
During our busy day packed with shows, the atmosphere of this show felt
literally refreshing.
“Remember Me” can be seen as a mix &
match of various layers. Contrary elements are often paired in one
look. Completely charming! That creative play gives the outfits their
innovative and contemporary character. It is a mix that stays in
mind. Colour- wise, this collection is dominated by more restrained hues
that are never too loud. Sheer white is the basic colour of this
collection. Albeit some colour accents are added, such as rose, avocado,
zaffre, grey, sunglow and silver. Those tones complete the outfits.
Barre Noire’s flower prints that can be
noticed on the collections’ blouses, coats and culottes deserve
devotion. It is a unique print that always stays wearable. Those pieces
seem to be made for the cosmopolitan woman who dares to dress in
innovative prints.
That signature print is quite a few
times paired with suede and appeared on dresses, high- waist skirts and
blouses. The make- up on the models contains a black eye- liner and a
soft glow on cheeks and lips. The hair is worn back and only a few
strands are shown creped.
In addition to those looks, sandals and brogues complete the outfits.
