Fashion School Hetzendorf presented on occasion of this year's final shows 'Perspektiven' cooperation projects with shoe label 'Think!' and the Vienna Forestry Department

Recently on 19 and 20 June, the students of the Viennese fashion school Modeschule Hetzendorf presented the wide range of the education programme - from textile design over knitting, fashion design, tailoring, product design of bags, accessories, shoes, to the crafts of hat making, with fashion shows under this year's motto 'Perspektiven' concerning the various angles or point of views on trends and their interpretations. The motto could be understood in a double meaning as well as the education offers the chance to work in various professional fields.

Aurelia Hammerschmidt (at the image right in the middle) for example won the competition of the Austrian label Think! (belongs to Legero) for the best design of shoes. The prototype of Hammerschmidt's design was presented at the school's final shows. The men's shoes will be available next Spring/Summer 2019 at Think!.

Another collaboration presented at the final shows was the one with the Vienna Forestry Department (Forstbetrieb der Stadt Wien). Winner of the best design for a waistcoat (gilet, image) matching the official representative clothing of the foresters is second year student Luna Pohn. The selected gilet will be produced for around 100 employees and will be worn on occasion of special events.
