A new exhibition highlights work from the graduate portfolios of 8 young designers. “Some of them are probably among the finest
to come out of Germany“, says Haman Alimardani, the designers’ teacher at fashion school. Alimardani hand-picked their work and
is effectively curator of the exhibition.

The exhibition not only aims to document the stellar standards of creativity and production shown in the work, which is well able to
hold its own in the face of international competition and is slated to generate enthusiasm among fashion mavens.
Presentation too is of a uniformly exceptional standard. The students documented their work in professional photo shoots and
complemented it by creating a range of image material, assembling a fully rounded brand package that will appeal to designers
and advertising specialists alike.

Naturally a profile at this level of sophistication is the perfect passport to the fashion business. And so it’s no wonder that some of
Alimardani’s students have already launched their careers by landing positions at top companies including Puma.

In contrast to the glittering catwalk shows of the fashion school’s graduate presentations, Alimardani intends this exhibition to
encourage visitors’ personal reflection about the works. ”The graduate catwalk show was so dazzling that the students never even
got a chance to check out each others’ collections, let alone open them up to the public.“

Alimardani located a restored basement complete with vaulted ceiling under the studio of his own “hamansutra” label at
Buttermelcherstr. 21 (courtyard entrance) in Munich’s dynamic Glockenbachviertel quarter as the perfect setting
for this fashion show with a 21st-century twist.
