On Friday we previewed our German designer export program that we are doing with our project Designer Scouts at the Fashion & Art Toronto Festival in Canada this week. Participating labels Moga E Mago and Isabel Vollrath were showing a fashion presentation and an installation at Merkezi. And we also screened the new fashion film by Katja Hentschel that was specifically created for the festival in Toronto. After the jump you will find the impressions of the preview event on 2 pages.

Just recently I stumbled across the wonderful video that Katja made for our last Designer Scouts event back in July and I realized that I hadn’t shared it with you here yet. So I’ll take this as an opportunity to start a new series on the blog: Cinéma de Mode. What started as a little screening event in our Designer Scouts Showroom at Achteinhalb will now continue as a blog series showing you the best fashion films on the web. So if you happen to know some good fashion films, especially when they have some connection to Berlin, just submit your suggestions to our eMail address on the contact page or post it on our Facebook wall.
After the jump you can enjoy the beautifully summery fashion film The Gardener by Katja Hentschel.

On Friday night my Designer Scouts partner Gina and I had the honor of being the hosts of the SKYY SWAP MARKET that took place for the third time at the beautiful Stadtbad Oderberger. Many of the designers that we have been working with for our fashion events donated a few pieces from their collections to the market and the guests of the event were able to buy them or to swap them with their own vintage clothes. After the swapping there was a concert of the band Jeannel and an after party with DJs Isabell Polak, Vladimir Karaleev and Hugo Capablanca, as well as way too many delicious SKYY cocktails. All proceeds of the evening were donated to the local HIV charity Berliner AIDS Hilfe e.V.
Many impressions of a great night after the jump on 3 pages.

There is always this one precious dress in every girls wardrobe that she adores, but she never wears it because it is simply not the right size or the wrong color. It’s too good to give it away, but how about exchanging it for something she will actually wear? For instance the unworn vintage treasure of another girl, or maybe a brand new designer piece? This is exactly what the SKYY SWAP MARKET is for.
After last year’s big hit we will be hosting the mega event again with Designer Scouts on August 26, 2011 at Stadtbad Oderberger. Find out how it works after the jump!

Moga e Mago – photo by Katja Henschtel
Wow, Fashion Week is over. It was a hell of a lot of work and stress, but it was also an amazing, exciting experience once more. On Wednesday we started right away with one of our big events with our Designer Scouts project. The Grand Opening at Achteinhalb with fashion presentations by Von Bardonitz, Moga E Mago, Umali and Twenty(2)too as well as a video installation by Franzius was a big hit. We were stunned at how many people came by during the night and we are really proud at how amazing all the collections and installations came out. Sadly, we couldn’t use our flower runway outside due to the unexpected rain that came up. But that wasn’t even so bad because inside we were treated with lovely finger food, mini flower cupcakes and the delicious Martini Royale drink. After the jump you will find some impressions of the preparations and the after party by me, and of the actual show by Katja Hentschel.

Today was the last day of the DESIGNER SCOUTS SHOWCASE at the Achteinhalb Concept Store. The grand opening on Wednesday was a great success. The designers created great looking installations in which they placed their models like moving manneqins in a decorated shop window. The wonderful Anna Wegelin presented her colorful collection “Lapka” in a playful environment with dolls wearing miniature versions of her outfits. It was absolutely fun to look at. The amazing Phoebe Heess created a completely different look with big black stripes hanging down from the ceiling mimiking details from her “Amarok” collection. All in black it was a totally stunning contrast to Anna’s color explosion.
Beyond the Valley presented themselves with a dramatic and quite elaborate fashion film about clothes taking on a life of its own, but with a very surprising ending. You can check it out online here. For my own accessorie label Carni I chose to seduce the guests with two handsome models offering delicious cupcakes in the style of my collection.
Anna, Phoebe and me also have a photo exhibition of our collections in the store that will go on until Febuary 19th. Impressions of the beginning and the end of the night, as well as the showroom photographed by me after the jump. Many beautiful photos of the main part of the evening by photographer André Wagner can be found over here.

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!
