About Us
MIKENKE is a young fashion label inspired by the idea of creating contemporary fashion that respects both human being and nature.
The MIKENKE design team is convinced that sustainability is the only legitimate approach to start a fashion enterprise today. Mikenke stands for the entitlement to create innovative and extraordinary clothing that contributes – liberated of fashion stereotypes – to a sustainable society.
MIKENKE, that are Rosa Gröszer and Tina Luther who have known each other since their fashion studies at the art college of Berlin-Weißensee. The name MIKENKE is derived from the Old Berlin slang word “Menkenke” meaning as much as: cause circumstances, create confusion. – Mikenke is causing the circumstance to think sustainable every product during the entire process of development and beyond. The workshop turns into a laboratory where the human body is examined with artistic sensibility for its sensory perceptions and needs. Determined habits of viewing and wearing are put into question, classical cutting methods are experimented with and new possibilities of material are being explored to ultimately develop a distinct and innovative design language. Stereotype fashion norms are broken with a wink.
MIKENKE wants to create high-grade fashion for self-determined, cosmopolitan women. The new femininity demands a style heading forward, ageless and of persistent aesthetics. MIKENKE is a high fashion label working on the pulse of the times and trying to walk the line between sustainability and contemporary demands. In doing so we attach great importance to exclusive materials, extraordinary cuts, perfect fitting and durable manufacturing. We refer to the origins of craftsmanship, and based on this principle we turn a modern eye towards traditional techniques and translate them to take them into the future.
