‘Beyond Fashion’ is back with a second season.
The four new episodes of the German Broadcasting Association’s fashion documentary series attempt a balancing act between social aspects and their influence on fashion. The make-up artist Avi Jakobs will lead through the various topic pools based on conversations with industry experts, designers and celebrities from Germany in order to answer the show’s key question, ARD announced on Tuesday.
Extraordinary and creative ideas go hand in hand with social challenges, which creates numerous subcultures in which like-minded people find and support each other.
