After you've learned from the best, the only next step is success.
After studying under legendary teacher and designer Raf Simons in his master class at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, designer Katrin Reinfurt was equipped with various skills to start MPMP, or Magnetosphere Prospecting and Monitoring Program, a brand that blends technology with modernity.
With a focus on conceptual products and innovative fabrics, Reinfurt also understood that she needed to take her brand into unchartered territory—Beijing, China.
"For me, as a fashion designer, the point of exile in the art world was the only way to develop MPMP as a independent, conceptual brand," says Reinfurt. "Not being connected to any kind of Western trends-dominated fashion scene was the only way to make something really new and progressive."
And progressive MPMP is. Inspired by Reinfurt's PhD research on utopian theory, the designer's Fall/Winter 2014 collection envisions a world where science and fashion unite. Glow-in-the-dark coats become rain-proof outerwear, while reflective nylon gets a convenient twist with a raincoat that protects and reflects. Bill Nye would approve.
