“Serious? Never. Fun? Always.” For 8 years now, Berlin-based label Starstyling proves how airy it can look when you take yourself not too serious. Katja Schlegel and Kai Seifried, the heads behind Starstyling, play so slickly critical, playful, ironic and humorous with the elements of contemporary fashion that their label soon transformed from an insider tip into an established brand.

For several years now, I track Starstyling´s development and I am happy to see that Katja Schlegel and Kai Seifried don´t rest on their laurels and on the simple concept “shirts with great prints”. Instead of, Starstyling moves on with progressive, holistic styles that might overstrain the mainstream-taste, but beat the pants of the mushrooming urban streetwear-labels through creativity, ingenuity and courage. “Serious? Never. Fun? Always.” - The concept works out. At least for Starstyling.

Some print American Apparel T-Shirts with slogans and graphics and state to do a fashion label. Others print their hand-sewed T-Shirts and build a whole collection around.
And, if the collection comes successfully along like those from Ground-Zero - then we are dealing with serious fashion designers who show, that building a fashion label doesn´t mean that the work is done with some slogans and prints. Introducing a healthy portion of irony and fun, Ground-Zero ads some extra-sympathy points and for me, the T-Shirts shown above are my today´s favorites.
