New Aaarea GmbH is planning hybrid events for Frankfurt Fashion Week in January
For the next edition of Frankfurt Fashion Week, scheduled 17-21 January 2022, the newly created Aaarea GmbH will organize hybrid events to make the Frankfurt city and region even more appealing. Aaarea gathers eleven multidisciplinary agencies from Frankfurt under its roof to join forces. The idea behind this merger came from the initiators of Frankfurt Fashion Week (FFW).
“The founding of Aaarea is sending out an important signal to Frankfurt’s creative industry. As the initiators of FFW, we have set out to completely reinterpret the existing Fashion Week system. From Frankfurt, we want to inspire the rest of the world to contribute to the future transformation of the fashion and textiles sector. The fact that 11 internationally renowned agencies are pooling their expertise to integrate public spaces into specific events is extremely unique and will help set the new Frankfurt Fashion Week apart from other industry events,” says Detlef Braun, member of the executive board of Messe Frankfurt.
Based in Frankfurt, but with an international network, the agencies on board all come from the fields of events, marketing and communication. The managing partners are Lorenzo Bizzi from Nordisk Buero, Claus Fischer from Voss + Fischer and Florian Joeckel from Pantera Rosa. And the co-partners are James Ardinast from Ima Clique, Amin Baghi from Esistfreitag, Steffen Ball from Ballcom Digital Public Relations, Madjid Djamegari from Lucille, Jesper Götsch from Jazzunique, Eklil Qani from Nonot Studios, Frank Lottermann from Nordisk Buero, Felix Neuland from Neulandherzer and Stefan Weil from Atelier Markgraph.
The events for the January edition of FFW will circle around fashion, art, talks, music, performances, installations and gastronomy. All aspects of fashion shall be covered, for example in the form of exhibition spaces for young designers, art installations, photography and visualizations.
“In all areas of Frankfurt, we will hold interdisciplinary events to encourage interaction and exchange between the stakeholders of Fashion Week, the city and its inhabitants. We are shining a spotlight on Frankfurt’s diversity and making Frankfurt Fashion Week accessible to everyone,” says Florian Joeckel, CEO of Pantera Rosa.
