"Implying Lines" – designs by Nathalie Schenkel
The emerging fashion designer Nathalie Schenkel is the winner of the 1st Munich Fashion Show, with her collection "Implying Lines". In fashion, it is about the uniqueness of small details, which at first sight are not necessarily visible, but after taking a closer look the more important for the piece of clothing: the collection is about the art of designing simple yet precious pieces that last longer than one season.
