‘Eco and fair’

We are going on our tour in Düsseldorf. Another designer whose collections I found interesting was Viola Ballinger. 

She runs her own business in Berlin since 2007. In the fashion trade show, she introduced the 2nd winter collection. She says she wants to show in her creations that “we are women.” 

 


















She wants the women who wear her designs look self-confident. In her collection there are many options from trousers to the dresses and coats.

However what is worth to be mentioned also is that all the products are manufactured ecologically and under fair trade conditions. In a world where many children, men and women are exploited under bad working conditions which are sometimes described as modern slavery, fair trade is a very important aspect.

What about German fashion? 

Ballinger thinks the German women prefer more classical outfits with traditional lines.

She says she would like to see more individuality in German fashion world.

She has more clients abroad. Her designs can be found in boutiques in Austria and Sweden too. 

But the main boutique is in Berlin in Fasanenstrasse 68.
