Who’s Next Paris – Day 1: Accessories

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.

Cinéma de Mode: Aerial Ambitions

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 in Berlin – Interview & Preview

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.

Berlin Fashion Week – Day 2: The Fashion Shows

Von Bardonitz - ONE Show

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.

Berlin Fashion Week – Day 1: Fashion, Porn & Parties

Dandy Diary Fashion Porn Film Launch

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.

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 5 most inspiring fashion people in Berlin (for me)

Nancy Zhang

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.
