Yours truely has been running around town like a headless chicken because I went to the Berlin Fashion Week. Last week, I told you that I had obtained press accreditation to go to the five fantastic places that I felt would be an asset to my blog in the realm of life-style as The British Berliner. It was hard work, but I made it. In a previous post, I told you how wonderful it was to be an expat in an international, cosmopolitan city such as Berlin, as the opportunities for people like myself, willing and eager to get out there, are so immense.
These bushy beards are going around! I went to the main website of Berlin Fashion Week , did the research of the places that I wanted to go to, and sent in my application just like others would do. They liked what they saw and sent me the passes. Mostly by post. I wanted to get a feel of Fashion Week, so I went to a few showrooms both before, and after work, and I started at places near my home.
I live in a gentrified part of Berlin that has lots of large open spaces and loft-like places, perfect for showing and presenting fashion pieces. I went to the after-party event at Superficial — a unisex label founded in by Anthony Vouardoux and Beck Naylor Showroom at POP UP by Projekt Galerie and stuck around, as they had an American soul singer, models presenting the clothes from the opposite building, and free wine and beer stocked in a tub of ice.
They showcased handpicked vintage pieces from all over to the world, had a live D. I was still up for some more action, so proceeded to go to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Opening Night event instead. I missed a lot of the action and by the time I got there, people were beginning to wrap up! The next day on I just wandered around and poked my head into this and that.
From the minute I stepped in, this trade fair was friendly and professional, and really did all the could to help me with resources, booklets and material. Bands of L. I also lost my notebook along with all my notes about who I met and what we talked about, but I soon cheered up LOL!
