As a pioneer and icon of Berlin’s underground culture, Claudia Skoda defined the fashion of the 1970s and 1980s. She knitted delicate yarns - having taught herself the handwork techniques - into groundbreaking, body-hugging designs that triggered a revolution in our understanding of knitwear. Superstars such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop were soon among her friends. Skoda’s performance-like fashion shows became famous: they were staged as spectacular events in the Congress Hall or the Egyptian Museum and caused an international sensation. This comprehensive catalogue is published to accompany her first solo exhibition and presents fashion, photographs, films, and music by a wide range of artists, including Martin Kippenberger, Luciano Castelli, Salomé, Jim Rakete, Ulrike Ottinger, Silke Grossmann, Manuel Göttsching, and Kraftwerk. The book not only highlights Skoda’s fashion designs, but also looks at how they were produced and marketed. In addition, it explores her living community and workshop “Fabrikneu”, her fashion shows and stores, her time in New York, as well as her social networks and her collaborations with many different artists.Published to accompany an exhibition at Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, between 18 December 2020 and 11 April 2021. Text in English and German.

Rico Puhlmann (1934–1996) was one of the most internationally renowned fashion photographers over the last four decades of the 20th century. Puhlmann got his chance in the field of fashion magazines as an illustrator, before moving on to cover shoots and editorial work for the world’s leading fashion periodicals, including Constanze, Petra, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Fashions of the Times and GQ, first in Berlin, and later in New York. A fatal plane crash put an abrupt end to his career. His photographs document some of fashion history’s central themes: trends, including the legendary Berlin chic of the post-war period and the American Look of the 1970s, changing dress codes and poses, and a shifting image of women and men. At the same time, the publication focuses on Puhlmann’s work against the backdrop of a media world organised around a division of labour, where questions of editing, layout and journalistic writing play a central role.Text in English and German.
