We’re feeling a little emotional – this is the end of our Berlin Fashion Week journey with the über-talented Hien Le. Have a peek behind the scenes at his final catwalk show below, and skip over to NPR’s Berlin Stories to read our article and see more pics. We’d like to thank Hien Le and Agency V for the access and accreditation, stylist Sarah Plunkett for her extra words, expertise and energy, and Giselle and Anna at NPR for giving us a platform. *bows, accepts bouquet*

NPR have published the second part of our story about local designer Hien Le’s Berlin Fashion Week experience. But before you skip over to the Berlin Stories website to read it, here are some exclusive behind the scenes shots of Hien preparing for the final of the Start Your Own Fashion Business contest:

During Berlin Fashion Week we followed local designer Hien Le as he prepared for his catwalk show and the final of the Start Your Own Fashion Business competition. Our three-part story for NPR starts in Hien’s Kreuzberg studio, where he explains how he incorporates influences from his birthplace of Laos into the “really clean, simple and minimalistic” aesthetic that already caught the attention of industry insiders at last year’s Fashion Week. Read part one of our article over on NPR’s Berlin Stories, and scroll down to see more behind-the-scenes photos. Part two coming soon!
