ABOUT THE BRAND
MARKE, acronymic for designer Mario Keine, is driven to understand the human spirit and personality as a dynamic construct. The collections give the character room to simultaneously explore differing shapes of aesthetic, celebrating hybridity, fluidity, and eclecticism as paramount roles. In a rich canon of inspiration, drawn from the spheres of art and culture, influences of historic decades and folklore as well as future époches, the collections explore contexts of past and present.
All images, brand descriptions and further information are available at the official Berlin Fashion Week MEDIA HUB.
What non-fashion related sources or experiences have influenced your current collection?
The collection is influenced by something very universal, an emotion everybody finds in themselves: The feeling of nostalgia, luxuriating in remembrance of an earlier state of oneself, longing for a time irrevocably out of reach. It's a story inspired by Stephen Tennant, a 'Bright Young Thing' , and Miss Havisham of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. Two personas, real and fictional, whose lives were defined by letting their past become their presence - souls stuck in an idyllic lost past.
