ABOUT YOU is presenting the AYFW – ABOUT YOU Fashion Week as part of Berlin Fashion Week from July 5 through 7, 2019. For the first time, fashion lovers will be able to take part in numerous runway shows at Berlin’s ewerk venue. In a further premiere, these will also feature famous high-street brands. With this innovative event concept, ABOUT YOU is offering consumers access to the fashion week world, which is otherwise reserved exclusively for industry insiders. This creates an all-new platform as part of Berlin Fashion Week which brings together customers, brands, influencers, and the media. By implementing the AYFW, the online fashion retailer is also pursuing its strategy of breaking new ground in marketing and generating real experiences for customers.

“The AYFW is about making big fashion shows accessible for everyone who’s interested in fashion!  We wanted to create a platform which offers consumers the chance to become part of the exclusive fashion week world,” said Julian Jansen, Content Director at ABOUT YOU.

The AYFW will kick off with a glamorous opening show on Friday, July 5. Top guests are expected to attend the spectacular show, including numerous VIPs and influencers such as Farina Opoku, Daniel Fuchs, Riccardo Simonetti, Sandra Lambeck, and many more. Fashion fans will also have a chance to win limited tickets for the eagerly awaited opening show in the run-up to the event. There will be seven runway shows on the Saturday and Sunday, with tickets available exclusively for everyone to buy. On the catwalks, guests can expect an inspiring blend of wearable styles from the latest collections by well-known fashion brands, which can be bought straight from ABOUT YOU. For an even more glamorous experience, spectators will have the chance to occupy a seat in the desirable front row, which is usually reserved for invited journalists, VIPs, and influencers. Selected influencers from the ABOUT YOU Fashion Idol family will also have a special role as ambassadors at the AYFW. These so-called co-creators will report on the three-day fashion happening via social media channels and were also involved in shaping the wide-ranging themes covered by the AYFW ahead of the event.

In a further highlight, Germany’s largest personal fashion brand — LeGer by Lena Gercke – will celebrate its catwalk premiere at the AYFW. Lena Gercke will stage her big fashion show debut personally with the help of her team.

The impressive fashion shows will be accompanied by a varied program of events at the ABOUT YOU concept store. Fans will be able to experiment with style makeovers, discover new looks, and pick up tips from the ABOUT YOU Fashion Idols’ celebrity stylists. The idea of the concept store goes hand in hand with the brand’s message, “It’s all ABOUT YOU.” Instead of dictating what people should wear, ABOUT YOU wants to inspire visitors during the ABOUT YOU Fashion Week and help them to express an infinite number of different personalities through fashion.

“With this innovative event platform, our aim was to make it possible to experience what we already successfully deliver online and in the ABOUT YOU app — inspiration and personalized style recommendations — offline also,” explained Tarek Müller, ABOUT YOU cofounder and co-CEO.

Approximately 600 tickets will be available to purchase for each show being held at the ABOUT YOU Fashion Week. These will go on sale on May 27 at the official ticket shop, www.ayfw.de. The tickets cost between 12 and 20 euros per show. When buying tickets, fashion fans will also be able to separately select which shows they would like to attend to tailor their fashion weekend to their interests.

Even without a ticket, people will be able to get a taste of the AYFW as there will be a large outdoor area at the event site with numerous food trucks and an extensive entertainment program. This area will also be open to visitors without a ticket for either one of the shows or the ABOUT YOU concept store. The open-air arena will be accessible to the public for the whole of the fashion weekend and serve as a hub where people can come together and talk.
