Buckle up! This collections is an ode to the good old belt. 

Designer Marina Hoermanseder made sure that the belt was the highlight of her show during the Berliner Mode Salon Spring/Summer 2018.

With skirts, bags, shoes, trousers and cropped tops held together by leather straps, Marina gave the accessory a new leash of life.

It's time you fasten your beats!

The weather gods sprung a huge surprise with a downpour, but the models braved the weather and sashayed down the runway without a look of disappointment on their faces.

The designer knows that belts do much more than just hold your trousers in place. 
Forget buttons, the coolest way to keep your thigh-high slits from flapping open is by strapping a belt around them.

If you can get over that huge belt clinched at the waist, do give a thought to the one on the model's ankle too.
