Bleans Je Vovis
After seeing jaw-dropping fashion shows yesterday surrounded by all the fabulous people Paris has to offer, walking around over the urbanwear exhibition Mr. Brown at the Who’s Next Paris today was quite relaxing. I encountered one label I was totally fond of and made me want to meet more young designers. The unisex clothes at the little both of Bleans Je Vovis had the right mix of cool and chic that made me want everything of it 
Frank was a fan of the cheaky, sexy and casual aesthetic of French street label Elevenparis. Overall we liked the playfull attempt of some labels to inspire the visitors with the funniest installations and we liked listening to the bands playing during the day.
More impressions of the giant urban and menswear trade show Mr. Brown after jump.

We are often following the hypes of people we like. We follow the recommendations of our friends and enjoy things they like to do because in the end everything can be good and bad depending of your perspective. I heard so many beautiful stories of Nicolas Jaar concerts of people I trust blindly in their taste of music that I wanted to go in any case to the concert he was giving on Monday at Berghain. In the end I was a little disapointed. Not because it was bad, but just because it couldn’t measure up with the hype my friends build around it. For people who are less susceptible as I am I recommend definetly to check out one of his concerts for example tonight at Berghain.

Feeling attraction to an artist because of his work is kind of weird. After a while you can’t really say if the love you feel is bringing you to the point of not being objective anymore about the art itself. Nevertheless being in love with Mr. Pollesch, one of the most amazing theater directors on earth, has never let me doubt my taste in theater (and men). I was always struck down by lightning before, during and after every piece that I saw and I enjoyed them as other people would enjoy sex or drugs. So, is it relevant what the source of your pleasure is? Or is the pleasure itself the key element in our decisions of consumption. Now I can attend to my pleasures even digitally through Pollesch’s Blog.
If you can you should check out his new piece Kill Your Darlings, premiering on Wednesday at Volksbühne and promissing a lot of intelectual mindsex. Dates and details after the jump.

I know so many people working in fashion that I am positively engaged when I meet a biomechanic or any sort of person working outside the vanity industry. Nevertheless i realized that just a few people I know working for fashion surprise and inspire me everytime I meet them by the way they dress. This shortlist that I made in anticipation of Fashion Week is just based on my everyday life. There are wonderful people out there I might not know, or I just don’t meet on a regular basis. But these five handsome individuals, are the eyecandy of every party or event I go. They are kind of my fashion heroes. That’s why I wanted to dedicate them this post. Find out who they are after the jump.

There are probably many vintage hunters and antique specialists among our readers who are able to hunt down the best bargains and the most special objects in any normal fleamarket. But some of you are perhaps also fed up from all the fleamarket culture and want to go to some special shop for once in a while. To get a real interior inspiration I think Friedrichslust can give you as much pleasure as the Wunderkammer in Kreuzberg can. The little shop hidden in a backyard near White Trash has so many special items and furniture that you might not be able to shop anything in the end. Because you just don’t want to take anything away from this magical shop. The cherry on top of it are the sculptures of pan called forest gods. They seem like mystical guards of this wonderful place. Do you know any other cool and mystical interior shops in Berlin? Tell us in the comments! Enjoy more pictures , the address and the opening times after the jump.

In the cold Christmas time knitting is one of the favourite hobbies of our grannies. But instead of socks and scarfs today’s knitters and crocheters are more inclined to its modern form. Urban knitting is one of the most incredible trends of the digital decade. No other housewife craftmanships has become as prominent in the street art scene and more discussed in blogs and social media as knitting and crocheting. The smart-urban-stage.com magazine has created an interesting challenge between graphic design guru Mario Lombardo who asked several urban knitters and chrochet artist to create a new surface for the city of the future. Look at some of the amazing art pieces here and vote here for the best answer.

Am I getting old, or why is one my favourite local berlin bands celebrating their 10th anniversary? Nevertheless it is a great reason to celebrate. Pitchtuner has shown us for years how a band cannot just be fun and inspiring to watch and to dance with but also innovative regarding their invention of instruments and crazy soundsystem. The sweet and sexy German/Japanese couple not only rocks with crazy melodies but sings directly to your heart with their Japanese lyrics. The party this Friday will be something to really look forward to with a Goose DJ set and several other cool acts apart to Pitchtuner. We will throw out some guestlist spots on our facebook page. After the jump you can find a flyer to the party and some really nice videos.

Apart from the auction Mauri started on his blog, we would like to raise awareness to another really cool idea from the Jugend gegen Aids Stiftung. Together with Stefan Strumbel, one of our most favourite artists by the way, they did a real funny art exhibition protesting against the Catholic church. For every new facebook friend they get, a Holy Maria statue will cry one tear. In the end the holy mother will be drowned by her own tears. That’s a good way to protest, and a very good way to find more facebook fans for a good cause. Watch the video with all the details after the jump. Read on – Weiterlesen »

I am quite in love with Scandinavian design, fashion and interiors. But I never got the chance to learn more about their perfomance art scene. Today the Nordwind Festival starts at Volksbühne. So, I finally get the chance to get rid of this culture lack in my head. Recommendations for specific parts of the festival will be done when I have actually see any of the perfomances. But for now I hope you will check out the program and perhaps also dance at the opening party tonight at HBC.

What will the city of the future be like? Industrial, made of asphalt, surreal shaped, or simply just better, worse or not even existing? We don’t know yet. But what I know for sure is that there is a lot going on right now about how the city will be in the future. Stakeholders in this question are definetly talented architects who make plans today for the buildings of tomorrow. The most impressive architects from Berlin are for sure the GRAFT team. They are currently having a giant exhibition of their work at Haus am Waldsee. After the click you can find out where and when to explore the future of the mega cities .
