Designer: Q.E.D.

Share

Giving credence to Berlin’s continued influence in matters of style is Q.E.D.(”quod erat demonstrandum”, which in latin means “that which was to have been demonstrated”), a locally-based menswear label and this year’s winner of the Fashion Week Berlin/Karstadt New Generation award. Founded in 2006 by three women who “discovered their common love of black” while studying fashion, Q.E.D. offers minimal yet quality menswear tailoring with just the right amount of playful detailing.

Fall’s award-winning collection is a well-crafted exercise in cutting and layering with matte and shiny fabrics in gradient shades of the professed favorite color. On an oversized car coat, the fabric is loosely gathered underneath an attached back panel to create extra volume, while another jacket combines gleaming strips of leather to create a look that resembles a slick update of a vintage soccer ball.
