Frank Leder ( born September 25, 1974 in Nuremberg, Germany ) is a German fashion designer. ==Biography== Frank Leder studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, where he was awarded an MA with distinction. He developed his brand while still in College, establishing himself in London with forward thinking Fashion Shows as well as contributing as Art Director and Stylist to Fashion Magazines like i-D and Sleazenation. Through these works, Leder dealt with his position in the fashion industry in an intellectual way. His work often breaks with the idea of a traditional method of presentation by proposing a different viewpoint.〔Davis,Hywel (2008).''Modern Menswear''.Lawrence King Publishing Ltd.〕 Showing from 2000 to 2002 at London Fashion Week, he switched to the Mens Fashion Week in Paris, after moving 2002 to Berlin. 2002 Frank Leder was awarded the Deutsche Bank Pyramid Award in England. 2003 saw the launch of Frank Leders Womenswear Line. The Leitmotiv of Frank Leders work is an authentic and concise expression of German culture and history.〔Bücker,Silke (2007).''Interview for the Goethe-Institute''.Goethe-Institute〕 All collections have a strong concept, clear vision and integration of German cultural elements, often creating a whole storyline around collections, which work on different levels of perception. His clothes function on a surface level but also invite you to take a closer look.〔von Rabenau,Kai (2005).''Mono.Kultur#02 Frank Leder: Fabrics for Thought''.Mono.Kultur〕 The garments are rooted in German history, using references from workwear to traditional men's tailoring, but combining those images with contemporary cuts and unusual, but accessible and interesting ideas, making them essentially modern in their wearability and approach.〔Davis,Hywel (2008).''Modern Menswear''.Lawrence King Publishing Ltd.〕 Themes of his collections deal with the course of life of his father, traditional German societies like fighting students and small town firemen brigades, German workmen people like miners, bakers and butchers, military themes like submarine men or Germanys colonial past.〔Barth,Nadine (2008).''Berlin Fashion''.DuMont Buchverlag〕 In combining a mischievous curiosity with a nod to tradition and a healthy sense of humour, Leder has created his very own niche in contemporary fashion.〔von Rabenau,Kai (2005).''Mono.Kultur#02 Frank Leder: Fabrics for Thought''.Mono.Kultur〕 For creating his visual universe, Leder is mainly working together with German photographer Gregor Hohenberg. Whether staging a show for the blind or inviting buyers and press to view his collection in his father’s hometown in bohemia, he has made it clear that he will play the game with his own rules in a way he feels comfortable with.〔von Rabenau,Kai (2005).''Mono.Kultur#02 Frank Leder: Fabrics for Thought''.Mono.Kultur〕 The collections are completely produced in Germany, with great attention to details and workmanship, using mainly fabrics from German companies.〔Marx,Ilona (2006).''Umlaut Mode_01''.Tisch7 Verlagsgesellschaft〕 Traditional German fabrics are being sourced, like Deutschleder or Schladminger, which have become signature pieces. The buttons Leder uses on his garments are mainly vintage, antique buttons from the 1920/30’s. Frank Leder garments are being worn by a lot of artists, actors and musicians, who appreciate the modern intellectual approach rooted in history. Frank Leder is working with a variety of those artist friends, who appear regularly as models in his publications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Leder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
