Merch shares the personal story of his comeback as a successful fashion designer after a severe and dark challenge. Israeli designer Merch Mashiah created his fashion label Mashiah Arrive in Berlin in 1999. What makes his label special is not only the use of pleated fabric (plissé) and hand-made production, but also the personality behind the brand. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
