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.

I found this exciting fashion film in the brand new fashion film section of Not Just A Label. It seems to me, that directors Marcin Kempski and Maciek Dąbrowski have set foot on a new genre: Fashion Horror Movies. Their film Ember for the label Konrad Parol is inspired by one of the most gruesome scenes in The Silence Of The Lambs, and it really is as creepy as the Hollywood movie. Get your scare after the jump.

The rock’n’roll of the early sixties, Film Noir, Bo Diddley, dubstep, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Afrika Bambaataa and The Ramones: one would never guess that there is anything that these artists and aesthetics have in common. Willy Moon, a 21 year old newcomer from New Zealand, managed to combine all these influences in his music, which can be described as neo rock’n’roll. On Monday, April 23, he plays his first concert in Germany at the Berghain – which is not the worst location for a debut. Check out the music after the jump and take your chance to win two tickets for the show.

Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black
Berlins subculture has an open position to the term Camp. Our party pictures prove to you that there is no city with more kitchy crazyness then Berlin. How nice that there is finally a festival bringing big parts of North American and Canadian Camp and Queer Life experts into town. The Hebbel am Ufer hosts a three day multidisciplinary festival called Camp/Anti-Camp: A Queer Guide to Everyday Life that you should not miss. The whole program, some really dirty videos and some images after the jump.

If you’ve been to any exclusive fashion, music and art events here in Berlin I’m sure you’ve come across the delicious French aperitif Lillet. This Friday Lillet steps into the role of the embassador of French culture that goes beyond the clichées of baguettes and bonnets. With their new event series Lillet En Soirée they present young emerging talents from France to bring a piece of contemporary music culture from this beautiful country to Germany. The series starts this Friday at 22h with the charming folk-pop duo Brigitte who will perform for the first time here in Germany at the Bar Tausend. Learn more about the ladies and get a chance to win tickets for the concert after the jump!

Martha Marcy May Marlene. Who remembers this title correctly at the cinema cashier really deserves free admission. But the film is a small treat itself, especially Elizabeth Olsen (jepp she’s Mary-Kate and Ashleys little sister) gives a stunning performance!

How many people do you know who are trying to apply to an art school like UDK or Weißensee? I feel like I know at least 100 of those young artists who tried to enter one on of the prestigious art academies Berlin has to offer. Even if most of them got rejected, some of them are currently really successful artist, stage designers, photographers and what not. On the other hand I know a lot of graduated artists who are working as bartenders. I always realized that success in art academies has nothing to do with financial succes. THIS IS FOR LOSERS is a project in Berlin that has set itself the task of give attention to unconsidered artists. They are looking for artists of all kinds that were rejected this or last year at Berlin’s art schools. Find out more about their project and how you can apply on their facebook page.
