PATZAIKIN catwalk debut at
Berlin Fashion Week July 2012
Berlin Fashion Week July 2012
The international catwalk debut collection from PATZAIKIN - a
fresh, Romanian-based lifestyle label for the active, eco-aware urban citizen
takes inspiration from the untamed beauty of the Danube Delta.
The items in the masculine line blend the sporty and casual side
with an edgy, urban sense of style in 16 playful and versatile looks. Trousers,
overalls, jackets, coats and waistcoats, shirts, parkas, blouses and hand-made
accessories (bulrush hats, leather sandals and shoes) all target the average
silhouette, with austere cuts and restrained color palette. The natural fabrics
(cotton, linen, hemp), meant to grow more beautiful with time and wear,
feature soft shades of greys and beiges, deep denim blues and faded blacks,
asserting the label’s long-term engagement with experimenting thoughtful
contemporary ways to reconnect with nature.
Vestiges of former practicality brought to new aesthetic height,
large size map pockets appear on blouses, trousers and jackets. The slight
variations of the manually dyed intricate patterns on the denim pieces are
another feature of the collection.
Capturing the dense, mysterious and quiet atmosphere of a widely
unknown landscape, the current collection of PATZAIKIN label attempts to go
beyond a mere aesthetic relation with a paradisiacal place. The clothes are
designed to incorporate knowledge of traditional craftsmanship and various
technical details and innovations meant to please both urban lifestyle and the
leisure travels of the man willing to (re)discover nature.

PATZAIKIN is a lifestyle label – clothing, accessories and the
innovative canotca (small wooden boat) - for the active eco-aware
urban citizen ready to (re)discover nature. The fascinating story of Ivan
Patzaichin, one of the world’s greatest canoeing legends and the breathtaking,
pristine beauty of the Danube Delta are set as perpetual inspiration
backgrounds for the young label proudly based in Romania.
The label was recently commissioned by The Romanian Olympic and
Sports Committee to design the clothing line for the Romanian delegation to the
2012 Olympic Games in London. Currently PATZAIKIN is also preparing the large
scale project “Danube Connection” in Vienna, Bratislava and
Budapest.
