Designer: Mongrels in Common

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Mongrels in Common are a design team based in Berlin. They made their debut at Moet et Chandon Fashon Awards 2006, showing S/S 07 collection. “Mongrelism” is the essence of every mongrel collection and unites the two personalities of the designers, Livia Ximenez-Carrillo and Christine Pluess. They constantly aim for a break of style by combining masculine and feminine elements, coupling avant-garde design with a casual, classical style, and by arranging subdued with flamboyant colors.
