Gmbh Spring Summer 2024 Fashion Show

GmbH's Spring Summer 2024 collection, named "Kurban" after the Turkish word for sacrifice, delved into spiritual themes, drawing from the Latin root "sacer," signifying holiness. Designers Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Isik aimed to harness fashion as a protective shield, acknowledging the inherent sacrificial nature of the fashion industry itself. This collection emerged from a challenging phase for the duo, serving as a form of safeguard against unforeseen circumstances.

Despite the predominant use of black and white in the color palette, there was an absence of darkness within the collection. According to the designers, these hues resonate deeply with their community and symbolize their preferred colors. The collection featured a dynamic interplay between cutouts and couture volumes, draping and capes, resulting in a visually diverse array of garments. Arabic letters adorned shirts and dresses, conveying protective spells, phrases like "safe from harm," and references to both contemporary and traditional rituals—an integral element of the collection's narrative.

In the realm of accessories, the collection showcased over-knee boots crafted from transparent organza, a continuation from their menswear line. Mules underwent a transformation, evolving from classic cowboy boots, now featuring open backs and constructed from black vegan leather or embellished with faux feathers. Remaining true to their commitment to sustainability, the brand abstained from using genuine leather, opting instead for recycled synthetic water-based materials and innovative sources such as apple waste for their bags.
