Von "Birds of Paradise"

"Birds of Paradise" is a fashion show in which we will present a selection of swiss and european labels such as Aleksandra Wisniewska (CH), Ad Usum (Vienna), Animo Fashion (Berlin), Phuengkit (CH), Olivia Estermann (CH) and Lillarosa (CH), alongside Kimandra Vintage. The idea behind the show is to make fashion greener, by bringing vintage onto the catwalk and integrating it with upcoming brands that all stand for high quality pieces and interesting design. Thereby promoting the idea of long term use through durable consumption. The sale therefore goes under the moto of "Think crisis wear green".

We hope our program sounds appealing to all the fashion lovers. We would be very happy to have you at the show and to have a drink or two at the sale!

Love Kim & Andrea
