Bless (Paris, Berlin) and Abake (London)

Bless is one of the hottest and most unusual fashion labels around. It was formed by Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag, who met as fashion students in Paris and found they had a lot in common, so they formed Bless (named after a favourite Berlin bakery) in 1997, which they run together despite being based in Paris and Berlin respectively.

Set up in 2000 by a cosmopolitan quartet of graphic design graduates. Abake is probably best known in Asia for a logo it made for AIR and a sleeve design it did for a Daft Punk release. But its members would really rather talk about Sexy Machinery, a magazine they edit with a couple of architects and a textiles designer or Kitsune, a record label they co-own with 2 french guys.
