VAL D’AZUR: Exclusive swimwear that I could quite nicely see myself wearing.
I loved the shoes as most of them were either gold or silver. The sexy wardrobe of Miss Havisham before she became completely bonkers. And high heels with a distinct whiff of a “Great Expectations” theme from Charles Dickens. STEAMPUNK PRINCESS: A sort of wedding dress theme with lots of feathers, flowers, lace, ruffles and frills.There was musical entertainment and then a catwalk presentation by the fashion houses below and these were my first impressions of my very first catwalk show! The night consisted of the Red Carpet, photography and fashion networking so I milled around, got my photo taken, took others, and generally chatted to one and all. Very worth it though as there were vintage lamps and armchairs, lots of tunnels that you either had to slide or jump into and tiny doors that you had to crawl into to get out. We got in 60 minutes later and that was an effort as we weren’t on the waiting list and there were six (6) of us and we wanted to go in together. I know!) AND there was a four (4) hour – I kid you not, waiting list.
The only way we could get in was by me being the spokesperson as the other girls were German. The last time I was there was at a surprise bachelorette / hen night party for a girlfriend of mine and we were all sworn not to research where we were going!Īt the time (last year), it was a weird Alice in Wonderland set-up. It’s a decadent abandoned 150 year-old mansion and in a hip part of Kreuzberg near the river and subsequently, where the cool clubs are. The CHALET club in Marielle Huey and Carolin Sage In 2005, the club closed down due to the prime estate of the region and re-opened at it’s new venue – Kraftwerk Berlin – in 2006.Īmazing decor with vintage lamps and armchairs, wallpapers with antique patterns and many small rooms with long corridors. The crowd was young and recovering from the German re-unification or just wanting to pound out their life frustrations, and the music reflected that in hard industrial-core sound and rough, loud, pounding techno. The walls were old and covered in dust, mud, and sweat, with planks of wood, bricks and rocks scattered about. The club was hard-core and dirty, grimy, and gritty.
I came to Berlin when TRESOR was in the previous location of Leipziger Straße. That’s right: Techno music, Experimental Electronic Music, and House Music – all the music that incidentally, I happen to like (although I also like classical music) ! TRESOR BERLIN was created and founded by Dimitri Hegemann who was looking for a place that would bring together the voice and sound of Berlin of the 90’s. Fashion Week is what it says on the tin: A week!Īmericans know a good thing when they see it!Ģ. You can’t do everything in a single day so space activities. You never know when you might make some contacts and meet some inspiring or important people.ħ. Look for the press lounge and if they serve refreshments, don’t be either too proud or shy, help yourself and eat. Use the cloakroom to deposit all the merchandise, material, magazines, and samples, that you pick up on a daily basis.ĥ. Not only do you look more professional but you can also sling it around a different shoulder when it begins to ache! I used a sling-over shoulder bag popular with European men. Take a shoulder bag rather than a backpack. It was tiring, slightly over-whelming, but brilliant and fantastic all over. Let me tell you, Berlin Fashion Week was a complete and utter blast.
