Made in Germany: c.neeon

c.neeon was launched by Clara Leskovar and Doreen Schulz in 2004. By chance I came across the label that very first year when they were selling at Galleries Lafayette in Berlin and remember being smitten by their use of strong graphic prints which have become their trademark. Leskovar and Schulz, both graduates from Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee, immediately gained international attention by winning the Grand Prix at Hyeres in 2005 and one year later the New Generation award at London Fashion Week. Above you can see pieces from their fall/winter collection 2010 (click to buy) and some earlier designs which are all available in their webshop (they also have a shop on Kastanienallee 55, Berlin). The spring/summer collection 2011 can be viewed here. All c.neeon designs are made in Germany: prototypes are created at the Berlin workshop, the fabrics are printed in Saxony, knit wear and tailoring are made in Thuringia.
