Carmen Miranda is missing her banana headscarfRe-Imagined Brazilian Headpiece Exhibition

Carmen-Miranda-exhibition-sameheads

If you’re wandering anywhere near Rixdorf tonight keep an eye out for flashes of the fantastic – Sameheads is hosting a night showcasing beautifully bizarre headpieces. Aptly titled ‘Carmen Miranda is missing her banana headscarf’ after the legendary Brazilian samba star and her infamous headwear, the show promises a series of ‘reimagined Brazilian headpieces’ by [...]

Konk is dead, long live KonkKonk Restart Party

KONK-Window-foto-Achim-Hatzius

It’s tempting to call Konk, that boutique at Kleine Hamburger Straße, a Berlin original. For years, it served as a platform for Berlin designers pioneering their fashion. And this way it’s supposed to stay, even though Ettina Berrios-Négron, who opened the shop in 2003, left the place to focus entirely on her own line Thone-Négron. [...]

Toilet_Paper

The DERZEIT team has a new favorite fashion item: the Toilet Paper tote. We received it after the party by Toilet Paper Magazine last Friday at Berlin club Picknick – it’s been una festa favolosa by the way, with Italian music by Tacabanda in the backyard and a thrill of anticipation for the Berlin summer to come. All [...]

Vladimir_Karaleev_by_JessicaBarthel_01

Vladimir Karaleev F/W 2012/13 catwalk show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 20.01.2012 I felt the buzz around Vladimir Karaleev long before I arrived at the fashion week tent. It’s normal to find a few people mingling around the entrance to the show area before the doors are open, but when I arrived I was confronted [...]

EvaBernard1-byPatrickHerzog

Eva & Bernard F/W 2012/13 presentation at the Studio during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 20.01.2012 As quiet and secret, discrete and unpretentious as Nait Rosenfeld and Roey Vollman (aka Eva & Bernard) presented themselves to be in the studio of the fashion week tent, the presentation itself was equally light-footed. If they’d asked me, I [...]

blame2_byPatrickHerzog

Blame F/W 2012/13 presentation at the Studio during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 20.01.2012 Some collections presented at the studio have the character of very ambitious yet misled degree work. There’s a lot of draping and experimenting with materials that don’t want to blend in: plastic, aluminum foil, steel wool – it all happened. Blame is different. [...]

David-Tomaschewski2-byPatrickHerzog

Dawid Tomaszewski /W 2012/13 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 19.01.2012 The fog rises through the dark, swirling up to the projections on the arched ceiling of the Heeresbäckerei. Even though the collection’s title is “Apocalypse”, it doesn’t feel like the end of time – more like a promising new beginning. Dawid Tomaszewksi has changed a [...]

ostertag_bypatrickherzog

Marcel Ostertag F/W 2012/13 catwalk show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 21.01.2012 He pulled the Andrej Pejic card, although it almost didn’t show between Franziska Knuppe and former Germany’s Next Top Models – if it hadn’t been for the beard. Marcel Ostertag himself presented his last look on the catwalk, in a short silk dress [...]

Mongrels in Common F/W 2012/13 catwalk show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 18.01.2012 The Mongrels in Common show opened with a shining light: A model walked through the darkness with a luminous coronal on her head, until she revealed herself as a collage, in a black blouson and a knee length circle skirt. Christine Pluess [...]

Reality Studio F/W 2012/13 at Voo Store during Fashion Week Berlin / 18.01.2012 Ali is a girl who likes to eat Turkish Delight. At least that’s how Svenja Specht of Reality Studio imagines her. In her winter collection “Ali” at Kreuzberg’s Voo Store – presented with Efes beer and olives – the designer stayed true to [...]

LalaBerlin2_byJessicaBarthel

Lala Berlin F/W 2012/13 catwalk show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 18.01.2012 The first model already proves that floor length skirts may be showstopping, but also for the wrong reasons: She trips, mutters a blasé “Fuck“, gets on with it. This brings us to the point: Whatever Lala Berlin shows, the collection always has a [...]

SissiGoetze2-byJessicaBarthel

Sissi Goetze F/W 2012/13 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 19.01.2012 As if she had measured him with rulers and dividers on graph paper: Sissi Goetze’s man for winter 2012 looks just as precise. What excites her about menswear is the geometry of the male body. She says: “Female curves don’t interest me.” The Central St. [...]

Issever Bahri F/W 2012/13 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin / 21.01.2012 – When I rushed in from the rain on the last day of fashion week, the tent seemed deserted. It wasn’t that people had lost interest, simply that the seating rows for the Issever Bahri show were already packed. And the looks that were sent from [...]
