This year’s Berlin Fashion Week was not as busy as previous years and this impacted Bright and SEEK as much as the other shows. This general malaise was put down to a number of different factors, but the most commonly mentioned were a lack of a real summer so far in parts of Northern Europe and the continuing unpredictability in the retail market. Bright introduced some new concepts to add to the show including the Drago talks and the Sneaker Spot. It was also good to see Volcom back alongside the other core streetwear brands at Bright.
