This season, the collection called "Ain't it different?", by Mitya Hontarenko for PLNGNS once again exemplifies how sustainability, craftsmanship, and zeitgeist come together. The Ukrainian designer presented looks crafted exclusively from upcycled and recycled materials, primarily sneakers.
It is the second season for PLNGNS (Palingenesy)at the Berlin Fashion Week and as part of Berlin Contemporary. Founded by Mitya Hontarenko in 2021, the label has already gained attention for its artistically upcycled sneaker creations. This time around, the Ukrainian newcomer label is unveiling its first-ever complete Ready-to-wear collection during the BFW. It not only showcases the ingenious creativity of Mitya Hontarenko but also serves as a prime example of how sustainability, exceptional craftsmanship, and contemporary spirit can seamlessly blend together. Crafted exclusively from upcycled materials, the Runway Show also illustrates various upcycling techniques and their integration into each collection.
PLNGNS' Runway Show took place at the NEWEST-Showspace, within the Pressecafé. Alongside a specially composed soundtrack, a blend of electronic beats and traditional Ukrainian music, the designer consciously opted for non-professional models. The reason being: to provide everyone, not just models, with the opportunity to be part of the PLNGNS runway experience.
