The GmbH collection for the Fall/Winter 2019 season caused quite the stir on a few accounts. For one, the Berlin-based contemporary fashion label chose to debut its garments away from the commotion of Paris Fashion Week, at the site of "one of the city's underground techno parties Péripate." Secondly, it appears that with its latest launch -- dubbed 'RARE EARTH,' GmbH has transcended and taken tailoring into a whole new direction as many of the silhouette captured critic attention. The undoubtedly stylish and somewhat experimental demeanor is celebrated. Thirdly, the presentation of the GmbH collection was debuted by models of diverse backgrounds and different age groups, allowing the brand to cut "a refreshing break from the prescribed monotony of fashion week."
