On Saturday we went to a beautiful picnic on the peninsula Alt Stralau. There we got ourselves acquainted with the new Lands’ End Canvas collection. We could even take two pieces from the collection in exchange for old stuff and mispurchases. I myself have never been so far to the peninsula Altstralau and can recommend the place for beautiful shore walks and a visit to the park. For the more romantic boys and girls there are also small rowing boats for hire. More photographic impressions, information on how to reach the peninsula and how you can win pieces of the canvas collection after the jump.

Surely you’ve seen the neon installation by Maurizio Nannucci on the facade of the Altes Museum which states: “All Art has been contemporary”. Even though this is now pulled down, it probably inspired me a little bit. When I looked at the following designs from the collection of Astrid Andersen from London, I thought: “All fashion will be vintage.“ Can you think why? I have a certain feeling about it. If it wasn’t already I would like to copyright this sentence. Or opensource it? More pictures from this strange but great collection which I found at the very nice blog Ignant after the jump.

A picnic in a beautiful park always has something very mundane. You feel a little like in the old days where you drove to the country-side in a coach and sat on a white or red-checked picnic blanket. There were times when the team of iheartberlin was more inclined to those kind of amusements. Apparently these times will return, thanks to Lands’ End Canvas, who has invited us to a mysterious picnic in the park where we get the chance to change some of our old garments with the new Canvas collection. For that they have already sent us the most important accessory: a picnic basket. Because they have also thought of our readers, you get the chance to win a second picnic basket including two invitations to the Canvas Picnic. How to win this nice present you can read after the jump.

It’s time to swap! On August 27 the SKYY SWAP MARKET is coming back to Berlin to Stadtbad Oderberger. Vintage lovers and fashion fanatics will get the chance to exchange their beloved old outfits for fabulous new ones.
Until August 27 you can bring your own outfits and vintage goods to one of the three SWAP-Spots, have them rated and receive a voucher. With this voucher you will get SWAP-Jetons at the event, with them you can pay for new outfits at the SKYY SWAP MARKET. If you don’t have any outfits to submit, you can still buy the Jetons and get something new at the market. The remaining Jetons can be exchanged for drinks at the After Party where Hadnet Tesfai & Uli Beck, Ali Schwarz and DJ Snax will be playing. All the profits of the evening will be donated to the Berliner Aidshilfe e.V. so your fashion addiction is helping a good cause!
Find out more about the SWAP-Spots and how to get on the guestlist after the jump.

I love a pop, and even better: a pop-up shop. The online vintage boutique Das Neue Schwarz is just doing that these days at Mulackstrasse in Mitte. How practical that you can now get your fingers on their selected fine designer vintage goods before you buy them. They do not only carry formerly unaffordable pieces by Helmut Lang, YSL, MMM, Prada Escada and Balenciaga, but also clothes by avant-garde heroes like Bernhard Willhelm, C.Neeon and Ann Demeulemeester. Nice. Details after the jump.

For quite a while now I have been longing for a creative project that is not related to a computer screen and that lets me use my hands in a way I haven’t used them in a while. As with many things one moment or one little detail can inspire you so much that your head suddenly explodes with ideas, just like I was inspired when I was watching a runway show at Madrid Fashion Week last year and saw this really cool acrylic necklace. It was the first time I actually saw a piece of jewellery made of acrylic that was not just a piece of plastic hanging on a silver ball chain but something way more unconventional und interesting then that. That was exactly the moment when I decided to create something myself.
Many sketches, night shifts, burned ends of cords and moments of dizziness from too much glue later I had put together a small collection of accessories and jewellery. I named them Carni - a term that derives from Carnivale. The main attraction of the collection is an interpretation of the harness. Instead of thick leather, studs and metal rings I used cords, strings of Swarovski beads, soft leather and silver chains that hang loosely around the body. A range of necklaces and bracelets round up the whole collection which is available now online here and in Berlin at the JB Space at Torstr. 230. After the jump you’ll find a collection video and more photos all made by the talented Katja Hentschel.
