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.
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.
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.

It’s Fashion! It’s Madness! It’s Fashion Madness! You could also call it Berlin Fashion Week. What a treat! Of course for you this is only semi-interesting as the majority of events is only dedicated to fashion journalists, buyers, business people and those who interned in the right agency. But look how wrong you are! There is a big amount of events and parties that are open to the public or have a public registration page. Halleluja!! So all of you fashion enthusiasts can be part of the big fat fashion week. Take a look into our fancy ass Berlin Fashion Week guide, focused on avant-garde and young designers and events related to that scene, after the jump! Also, check out ArtBerlin for more tips.

Norway apparently is a dark place. At least judging from this absolutely grim fashion film by Matias & Mathias for the Norwegian jewellery label Bjorg. But as I have quite the affection for dark and atmospheric films and stories I really love this! Take a look at the fashion film that fits so perfectly to this cold and dark day in December, after the jump.
