\nPresenting her debut runway show at this year’s Berlin Fashion Week, Leonie Mergen’s AW17 collection was a tribute to the culture of Azerbaijan. The German designer’s exciting presentation was held at the Kaufhaus Jandorf in Mitte, with a celebratory after party taking place at Tube Station Berlin.
\nRead below for a recap of the two stand-out events,\u00a0in case you missed it.

For Mergen’s \u201cKarabakh Collection\u201d, the designer combined plunging necklines and sleeved capes with buttery-soft leather and delicate silk \u2013\u00a0a reference to\u00a0Azerbaijan\u2019s legacy as a hub on the ancient Silk Road. Geometric navy and burgundy patterns evoke the region’s\u00a0infamous tapestries in the designer’s\u00a0distinctive first show.

After the party is the after party<\/h2>\n

A fashion week presentation isn’t complete without an equally stylish after party, and Mergen didn’t disappoint on either fronts. Following the runway show, the designer welcomed friends and fashion insiders\u00a0at Tube Station Berlin for celebratory cocktails. Guests\u00a0raised a glass to the young creative\u00a0courtesy of Belvedere Vodka, Kyr\u00f6 Gin and Carpe Diem beverages, ensuring they were sufficiently sauced up enough for a boogie on the dance floor.
