This amazing animated short film from South America about the drowning of the city Bogotá is basically the reason why I even started this section on the blog as it’s my favorite of its kind. It’s already 3 years old and I guess the gloomy, rainy mood of the film is the reason why I haven’t posted it so far. But now that the weather in Germany has gotten so bad I think it’s about time 
The story is really captivating. And I love the watercolor style and amazing soundtrack of it. Watch it through the end, it’s worth it! Enjoy En Agosto by Andrés Barrientos and Carlos Andrés Reyes after the jump.

While I am on vacation in Buenos Aires I thought it to be quite suitable to show you a fashion film from here in this week’s edition of our Cinéma de Mode. It was shot by Lucas Castro Pardo with fashion & styling by Roberto Piqueras for Argentinian mens fashion magazine Peter, Tom & Dave. Enjoy after the jump.

It was a little bit the highlight of our trip to Paris: the Autumn Winter 2012/13 fashion show of Bernhard Willhelm who happens to be one of my favorite designers since I saw his great installation presentation in Berlin in 2009. We also saw the shows of Walter van Beirendonck, that we also liked a lot, as well as Damir Doma who gave a very impressive runway show. But the Willhelm show made me particularily happy because it was also the most enjoyable collection in recent saisons and I’m looking forward to see it in the shops. Enjoy my partly animated runway photos after the jump.

On our third day of Berlin Fashion Week I took my time to visit all the avant-garde showrooms and exhibitions. This might not sound so exciting because there is no event or show or party taking place. But here I get the chance to actually talk to the designers who create all these great collections face-to-face and get to know the person that designs the clothes I am wearing. On my tour I visited the SEEK exhibition, Temporary Showroom, Collect, the (capsule) tradeshow and finally the showroom of Edged and fier Management. Meet the designers and see our impressions after the jump.

Andres Gallardo
Here we are at last: Paris Fashion Week. We were invited by Who’s Next Paris Prêt-à-Porter trade show to discover the world of fashion in Paris. And what a big world it is. When we arrived at the grounds of the trade show at Portes de Versailles we were a bit shocked of how huge it is. The 6-fairs-in-one event is hosted in 4 big halls that make you feel very small. Hundreds if not thousands of brands from all over the world are exhibiting their latest collections here.
On our first day we decided to start with the jewellery and accessories exhibition of Première Class. While browsing through the first hall of shoes we rediscovered the British shoe label United Nude that we though was the most edgy and intersting one of the whole exhibition. Of course the Eiffel Tour Heel was also quite charming…
After the shoes we took a look at all the jewellery labels in the next hall. Here we especially liked the wonderful porcelain jewellery of Spanish designer Andres Gallardo and the laser-cut leather accessories by Italien label C.A. 2. After the jump you will find our favorite finds of the exhibition as well as our outfits of the day.

The amazing fashion film Aerial Ambitions by film makers Morten Bo Johansson & Tue Juelsbo for the Swedish label Odeur is actually one of the most amazing fashion films I’ve seen. It retells the greek myth of Ikarus who tries to reach for the sun but of course fails in his ambitions. The video was shot in Morocco. Enjoy it after the jump.

Odeur AW 12/13
I discovered the Swedish label Odeur a few years ago through Temporary Showroom here in Berlin. I was instantly taken by the style of this label and have my closet half full of their designs by now. Their unisex collections would fit easily among the big avant-garde stars of Paris, yet their pieces are more affordable at that. This Saturday they make their premiere at the official tent of Berlin Fashion Week and I am so sad I am going to miss the show due to our trip to Paris. Therefore I met up with designer Gorjan Lauseger and Petter Hollström this week and talked with them about their show in Berlin and their new collection. Get a few preview photos of the new campaign and read the interview after the jump.

Von Bardonitz
Day 2 of Berlin Fashion Week was all about fashion shows and presentations for us. The day started exciting with a little visit to the backstage area of the JULIAANDBEN show at the studio of the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week tent. The Berlin cult label had their first ever runway show with our Designer Scouts event at HBC back in 2010. Now they made it into the official tent and delivered a great collection. See the backstage photos and the show impressions after the jump followed by the shows and parties of Von Bardonitz, Augustin Teboul, Wood Wood and Reality Studio on 4 pages.

So, the first day of Berlin Fashion Week was already pretty exciting. It started with the premiere of the Fashion Porn film of our fellow bloggers from Dandy Diary in a small sex shop and cinema in Kreuzberg. The location itself was quite the attraction with all these trashy sex toys and nasty porn. The film really surprised me with a clever concept and a well done execution. It’s sexy and the showcased fashion is really well selected. You can take a look for yourself here. The photos of the premiere after the jump as well as impressions from the opening of the NUDE Pop-Up Shop, the Dandy Diary & LesMads Party at Flamingo and the good old projektGalerie Fashion Week Party at HBC.
