We’re pulling all kinds of strings to bring you the latest trends – music included – and we came across this: Soffy O. was among the very first of the international musicians to populate Berlin – the kind you see all over the town these days. Nowadays her home base is Malmö, where she’s got a new project with Henrik [...] [...] 
– Are you surrounded by artificial darkness right now? Among all kinds of hideous, kinky, eerie creatures? In a tent maybe? Waiting for the spotlights to be switched on? Hoping for an experience beyond the every day? Well, we’d like to help you with the latter and Bathcat provides the perfect soundtrack for that. It’s Soffy [...] [...] 
_ Sitting in the front row it’s easy to witness what’s coming down the aisle – well, if it’s right in front of you. But to see what’s happening a little further away, you have to change your position or turn your head. As DERZEIT, we strongly recommend making this extra effort. If Fashion Week Berlin’s [...] [...] 
Even though today’s featured artist Cass McCombs hails from San Francisco, his music perfectly suits the Berlin wet. Rather than fulfilling the stereotype of the confessant singer-songwriter, he describes the lifestyles and feelings of those who surround him with more love than judgment. McCombs is a mirror. Nothing to add other than: He’s already toured with [...] [...] 
Two days before her first major catwalk show, we met up with Alexandra Kiesel, proud winner of the P&C Designer for Tomorrow Award 2011. In Berlin-Wedding, we spied on the young designer’s fitting room and gathered a first impression of the collection, created under the patronage of Marc Jacobs. We also had a chance to [...] [...] 
This season, we’re giving you acoustic impulses on top of the visual in-put.Today, we’re offering up a band whose members all have names that are impossible to pronounce.That’s just the way it is in Iceland, and at least “FM Belfast” is pretty easy to remember. The combo makes wonderfully weird music and DIY artworks that [...] [...] 
_ Not knowing where the border is means it’s already been overstepped. (Fashion duo Johanna Perret and Tutia Schaad of Perret Schaad on crossing lines) – Who should you look up to, really? Maybe it can be liberating to let go of your idols, and to talk about it, of course. Jasper Hamill has the lowdown on this: In his [...] [...] 
What would fashion week be without music? What is life without the appropriate soundtrack? Right. So here’s a little something for you: We’ve dug through forums and archives, schmoozed artists and labels, and finally found a track to match every issue. The best thing is that every day we’ll make this track available to you. [...] [...] 
_ Welcome to a new season, to lots of novelties and newbies. That’s what contemporary life is about, isn’t it? Progress!

_ It’s all about the dosage. Color blocking? In such intensity it can cause visual disorders of perception… but then again: Stimulating your synapses can sometimes excite new cerebral areas – which may lead (and why not) to an ecstatic condition. Joachim Bessing has more to tell, while Jasper Hamill meditates on his own addiction. Then [...] [...] 
_ Put it on, take it off. That’s what it’s all about. All the time. The only questions are what, how and, above all, in front of whom! For this issue of DERZEIT essayist Jasper Hamill explores these questions, delving into the conflict of freedom of choice in fashion. Who knows, maybe there’s even a big [...] [...] 
_ ˝Schrebergärten,“ the familiar German microcosms, are not usually associated with high fashion. But for this issue we challenged the norm in these curious urban oases, because that’s what fashion’s all about: confronting the status quo. Our catwalk reporters explored the latest struggle for new colors, silhouettes, textures. Sonja Stössel even went a step further with [...] [...] [...] 
_ Last season’s editorial started with “the tent is where it used to be,” meaning at Bebelplatz. Things have changed, but it’s still true: Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin headquarters is back to where it used to be – at Brandenburger Tor! And it´s bigger than ever. So for the tiny breaks between your tight schedule lay [...] [...] 
_ Frills, ruffles, sequins. Dip-dyed silk, mohair knit and cashmere meshes. Did this season’s outfits lure you, lull you, lead you on to a different state of mind? Yet? Get yourself together for Fashion Week Berlin’s last day. As for DERZEIT’s office team, the moment you read this: we will already be done. But trust us [...] [...] 
_ Slip into a Zen meditation mode and compose yourself with DERZEIT’s Silentium issue – silence is the best condition to enjoy a newspaper. Tune out the sound – and let the snow-covered landscape on the cover help you to switch off the buzzing noise of the city. The horses, by the way, were the true [...] [...] 
– Cogito ergo sum – I think therefore I am. But what am I thinking? – sitting in a white cube, staring at the wall? Am I to think about existence itself? To reflect about the act of thinking? Luckily, the all-encompassing room called earth, in whose surface we move every day, is an overwhelming kaleidoscope [...] [...] |
