Berlin-based designer Leonie Mergen has introduced her unique “Karabakh-Collection” at the annual brand event of L’Oréal Professionnel in Berlin.

The fashion collection was presented to a private audience of over two hundred representatives of L’Oréal - which is the world's largest cosmetics company with a € 22 billion revenue and about 77, 000 employees.

The collection features the theme and the culture of Karabakh, an Azerbaijani region in the center of the South Caucasus. The ensembles featured patterns reminiscent of the country’s famous tapestries, with signature necklines and sleeved capes making an appearance in both men's and women's clothing.

After her “Karabakh Collection“ had been highly acclaimed following its presentation to the public during this year’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Berlin, Leonie was very honored to have been selected by L’Oreal Professionnel for their annual brand event.

“The Karabakh Collection is a very interesting project for TEAS, and we are very happy to see that it has created a lot of interest in Azerbaijani culture and that it has been picked up by a wide audience range, starting from media representatives all the way to industry professionals”, said Taleh Heydarov, Chairman and Founder of TEAS

“A fashion collection with this degree of international coverage and attention helps a great deal to show to a wider public, that there is an occupied Azerbaijani region called Nagorno-Karabakh and that steps have to be undertaken to protect our national heritage in all areas of culture and civil society”, he added.
