KALTBLUT: The Berlin fashion scene is

Berlin you like? Which one?
TATA CHRISTIANE: Sadak, Starstyling, Mads
Dinesen, Vladimir Karaleev
KALTBLUT: Let´s talk about your latest
collection. What where your inspirations
for the collection?
TATA CHRISTIANE: The last collection is inspired
by the book One Hundred Years of
Solitude (original Title: Cien anos de Soledad,
1967)by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and
by extension inspired by the expression
of Magical realism, created by German art
critic Franz Roh in 1925, expressing a genre
of fiction, in which magical elements blend
into the reality, to create another reality.
As soon as I considered fashion as a visual
art genre and as an element of the World
as Fiction what is real and what is fiction is
indistinguishable.
Theo L. Díhaen in his book Magical realism
and postmodernism describes it with this
words: “self-reflexive-ness, metafiction, eclecticism,
redundancy, multiplicity, discontinuity,
intertextuality, parody, the dissolution
of character and narrative instance, the
erasure of boundaries, and the destabilization
of the reader.”
This new collection explores this country,
the city of mirrors and the subjectivity of
reality, to propose a world, according to
a particular perception, in the complexity
of times. This collection will turn around
mocked mood, mixture of fabrics and motives,
feathers and froufrou. Fantastic and
marvelous. And humourful.
KALTBLUT: What’s your most memorable
piece of clothing? And does it happen
sometimes that you don’t like one
piece?
TATA CHRISTIANE: I get bored and excited
really fast, so I have a lot of memorable
pieces and pieces that I didn’t like anymore.
Maybe the one I prefer is the one I m doing
right now, and then the next one

Berlin in July.
KALTBLUT: The theme of this issue is
Avant-garde. And I see you as one of the
new Avant-garde designers. Your work is
so fashion forward. What is Avant-garde
for you?
TATA CHRISTIANE: I think that it is too complex
to be explained in just few words. I
don’t know if it s even really clear for me
what Avant-garde is Now. And to be honest,
I’m not thinking in this way when I’m
working. I feel more in dialogue with all my
surroundings, my readings, my travels, my
friends, people I meet. I just try to feel here
and now what I can be.
KALTBLUT: Thank you very much for your
time. We wish you all the best with the
new collection. Love KALTBLUT.
