Who’s Next – Our first trip to Paris Fashion Week

Come for Breakfast

We’ve been to London, we’ve been to Tokyo, we’ve been to Madrid, we’ve been to Berlin, obviously, visiting each cities official Fashion Weeks. But never have we been to the mother of all Fashion Weeks and the one that is still considered the most important one in the world: Paris Fashion Week. The biggest trade shows take place here and the most important international brands and designers have their shows in this beautiful city. The whole affair in fact is so huge that it gets split in three parts: Menswear Fashion Week, which sadly always coincides with Berlin Fashion Week, the Haute Couture Week that happens right after and finally the main Womenswear Fashion Week a few months later.

But this season it’s actually going to happen: iHeartBerlin.de goes Paris Fashion Week thanks to the Who’s Next trade show, the biggest one of its kind, who invited us over to take a look at what’s going on in Paris. We’re super excited and can’t wait to go over their this Friday. We’ll be covering our findings on the trade show on a daily basis and of course we’ll also use the opportunity to check out a few other events during Paris Fashion Week. To find out a little more about Who’s Next Paris you should read on after the jump.

The Weekly Event Guide

Lionel Williams

Of course this week there is much more going on besides Fashion Week. As the BFW guide took so much of my time I will keep this one a little shorter than usual. Also this is going to be my last Weekly Event Guide in a while. As I am going on a long trip I won’t have time to keep you up to date until March. So my friend Anna-Lena from artfridge is taking over for the next six weeks giving you the new Weekly Art Guide in place of the normal event guide. For all events other than art please check into Suz’s Thursday party guide and on our Facebook page. Have a look at the non-fashion-related events of this week after the jump.

A History of Hipster Mockery

The Hipster Jr, Sugarhigh

The cute little video by the Polyeyed Phantom that has been making the rounds on the interdolly in the past few days has once again restarted the discussion about the oh-so-hated, yet oh-so-admired stereotype of the hipster. Although this debate seems a bit out-dated, the video Der Berliner Hipster summerizes quite accurately some of the clichées-gone-real of said stereotype. Especially interesting I find the funny and partially quite strong reactions of people on facebook and blog comments, my favorite one being: “They’re called Lana del Ray fans these days…” Haha!

But why on earth do hipsters deserve so much mockery I wonder? They wear certain fashion, they like certain music and books, they go to certain parties. Don’t we all? We just might not all look as good doing it… So far there have been so many different outlets of ridicule or even hatred against this particularily fashionable kind. Along with the brand new lecture video I have collected some of the most notable ones of recent years for you after the jump.
