7 ways to be TVDB

Tom Van der Borght Mercedes Benz Berlin Fashion Week

Tom Van der Borght, winner of fashion category Grand Prix at the 35th Hyères Festival opened the MBFW Berlin. In a live stream catwalk performance in Berlin, as part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion, Tom Van der Borght showed 21 looks including fourteen new looks as well as seven reworked looks from his “7 ways to be TVDB” presenting at Hyères. Tom continues to develop his powerful tribe through colorful, impactful and creative silhouettes, combining once again High-Tech Bricolage and haute couture savoir faire. The show was a complete performance created in collaboration with famous French-Spanish dancer, choreographer and director Blanca Li.  

The topic of this performance was the mutual support within the community, particularly in times of pandemic-induced isolation. The models move along the catwalk as if taking part in a procession. They are met by a group of performers, who take on a variety of forms - from workers with the face of the designer to muscular, fantastical-looking figures of horses. The climax of the show reflects Tom Van der Borght's artistic vision of an inclusive universe.
