Profile
Inga Melzer, born in Sibiu, Romania, now Berlin based, studies fashion design.
She launched her label Sibiu lately.
With her designs she raises the tension between her Carpathian heritage and the metropolitain jungle she now lives in.

Jasmin Isabel Eckerle, founder and designer of her label Garland Coo studied fashion design in Stuttgart.
With her aesthetic beliefs she also raises the tension between her Black Forestian heritage, her native landscape and the metropolis.

The concept of the collaboration
Two wandering spirits, one from the eastern sun, one from the darken forest.
Caught in their roots, their heritage, emancipate theirselves and arise as a unique collaboration.
All items made with passion for details, it is the variations of light and shade, the blood red hand-dyed silk and batiste, the armour-like cotton chintz and linen.
The cut-outs, like the shadow on the forest floor on a sunny day, the silhouettes a dichotomy between slim-cut and cloaking.
A collection which is dedicated to all women of the past, who have fought for their passions,heir beliefs, for all strong women from now on…

About us
The label Garland Coo is a creative collaboration of designer Jasmin Isabel Eckerle and artist Marcel Singer, founded 2009 in the deep south of Germany.

Through her artistic view she expresses and rises the tension between the polarities fashion – art– and so called “Heimat”.

The Philosophy of the Collection // Metropolis // TheForestCall
Garland Coo describes the elementary confrontation and dichotomy between civilization, nature and mind, the collection can be described as an analogy of the cultural and natural heritage of the designer Jasmin Isabel Eckerle. Her roots are deeply anchored in south German culture, in the Black Forest, in their native landscape as a deep source of inspiration.
A story from nature to the metropolis and back again.
Archaic landscapes rise in sculptural designs and well-defined shapes, the coats and jackets symbolize shadow work of the ancient Forest trees.
Hand dyed cotton and silk in delicate burgundy bring the dawning light of the Black Forestian heights to the modern urban warrior and heroine.
The shining chintz is the matching armour therefore.Silk is floating like a mountain brook in spring.The leather leafs are in bloom, they embrace the wearer like the woollen cape lined with the hand dyed burgundy silk.
This collection is created for all urban heroines who are strong enough to face The Forestian Call.
