Fashion.at style tip Spring 2021 for weekend trips to nearby destinations with pieces from the 'Austrian Spirit' initiative

The new initiative 'Austrian Spirit' received already attention by media such as one of the country's largest daily news publications 'Kurier' (article) where the participating labels were presented. The designers come from all over the country like Gina Drewes whose boutique is located in Pörtschach at Austria's popular lake Wörthersee in Carinthia, or Anna Franz and Elisabeth Bauer of the cashmere brand Caleo with store in Gmunden at lake Traunsee in Upper Austria. Fashion.at selected some pieces from the collections presented by the initiative 'Austrian Spirit' with a weekend trip - after the currently ongoing lockdown - in mind.
