Vorarlberg-based label Weber + Weber Sartoria present designs dedicated to slow-fashion at Vienna Fashion Week

On 14 September at MQ Vienna Fashion Week, the Austrian in Vorarlberg based and in the tradition of Italian tailoring working label Weber + Weber Sartoria will present items for Fall/Winter 2018 (image below, left) and previews of Spring/Summer 2019 (illustration right). The label focuses on slow-fashion as an answer to the waste problem our throw-away society is steadily producing. On the brand's website, the designers Christian and Manuel Weber find for fast-fashion consumption a term which refers an almost pathological behaviour: 'collectionitis'.

"Weber+Weber  Sartoria  is  a  statement  against  this  raging  collectionitis." (weberweber.it)

Weber + Weber Sartoria is currently available in around 70 stores in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria,... On occasion of MQ Vienna Fashion Week (10 - 16 September), the Viennese stores Tiberius, Strictly Herrmann, Neon and Norton will focus especially on the slow-fashion pieces of the brand.
