The quiet guy brought noise to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Last season, Patrick Mohr let the homeless run the way, this year, he called the he bodybuilder friends of DJ Hell to set up the stage called catwalk.

Brought by pushcart, the models gave a bizarre look with fake hair, breasts and teeth and clothes made of plastic and stunt kites. Boulevard called him Enfant Terrible and titled Freakshow, but at the end of the day Patrick Mohr is neither a fool, nor a fashionisto provocateur – he`s just a fashion designer who goes for rectangles and quadrangles and created simple T-Shirts, tops, jeans, pants and glasses so far.

Unisex. Unobtrusive. Highly wearable. And…surprise, surprise…payable.

Showtime seems to be his into-the-face tool to push the name, while businesstime is about fairness and service. Buyers praise his quality, prizing and ordering options, customers love his moderate price segment. Neither a freak, nor a fool, but a great entertainer and label to wear – This is Patrick Mohr.
