Catwalks and more
My only skill when it comes to fashion is the ability to spell the word correctly. So I can’t comment on trends, styles and quality. But I do know that anything associated with the MQ tends to have its fingers firmly on the pulse of contemporary culture.
So you can expect the MQ Vienna Fashion Week, organised by creative headz, to fulfill its promise.
For starters, dozens of designers present their work, with numerous fashion shows across the week to intrigue and inspire through creations from home and abroad.
At the last event, the international flavour was illustrated by, for example, three designers from Indonesia starting the Tuesday’s shows and Thai fashion night dominating the Thursday evening. The Fashion Week kicked off with a show from Berlin-based designer and label owner, Marcel Ostertag. Sunday night then ended with the now traditional closing show choreographed by Mario Soldo.
But it’s not just about the catwalk. A large exhibition and shopping area, for example, features current collections for you to browse, try on, and purchase.
