On Thursday Berlin’s most wanted model/singer/designer/shop-owner/photographer/it-girl Bonnie Strange became yet another thing: A publisher! Together with her Shit Shop partner Lena Nußbaum, Senna Gamour and a team of 3 new people she created a fabulous new magazine: The Shitpaper. The magazine came out really amazing, well done, girls!! The release of course had to be celebrated in style, so she teamed up with Italian fashion brand Patrizia Pepe to throw a big party during Berlin Fashion Week and our girl Tati The Fruit Salad was right in the middle of it! We have the impressions for you guys, after the jump on 4 pages. Enjoy!

Last night British highstreet brands TOPSHOP and TOPMAN hosted their first party here during Berlin Fashion Week at Hamburger Höfe. Among the fashion crowd were a lot of familiar faces such as Eva Padberg, Brooke Candy, Hadnet Tesfai, Bonnie Strange, Marie Nasemann, Wilson Gonzalez and many more. Scandinavian newcomer MO was performing live (and quite impressively) and Joe Goddard from Hotchip was DJing. Enjoy the impressions after the jump.

On Friday the big SKYY VODKA SWAP MARKET event took place and iHeartBerlin’s sister project Designer Scouts was once again part of it. We welcomed this highest amount of guests this year at Stadtbad Oderberger and had a blast with the DJ set of Bonnie Strange. All proceeds that we generated will be donated to the Berliner Aids-Hilfe e.V. charity organization. Fashion for charity! Thanks to hosts Dawid Tomaszewski and Bonnie Strange and all the designers who donated their fresh designs and of course to all the guests who swapped and partied with us! Enjoy the impressions of the night by Nils Krüger and myself after the jump.

If fashion week is war, runway is the battlefield. And I did a good portion of fights last week to go to each event and make sure that everybody noticed that I was there. Is this egomanic? I do’t think so. To see all my adventures at Berlin Fashion Week and to see the shows I visited and enjoyed the most (Patrick Mohr, Moga e Mago, The Shit, Lena Hoschek, Mark Stone and the best of them all Charlie Le Mindu) please have a look at the third episode called Runway after the jump.

While my outfits for the first days of Fashion Week were a bit more daring toward the end of the week they became more comfortable and casual. Especially for the weekend, for the Wedding Dress festival for urban fashion, I chose a quite easy-going outfit. Inspired by my friend Bonnie Strange and centered around her T-Shirt from her bachelorette party I went with some layers of pastel shirts, a simple dark jeans and my Kenzo x Vans shoes. It’s kind of rare that I present my outfits like this but my colleagues from Two For Fashion, the blog by Otto that I have been contributing now for the past months, asked me to join in on the parade and I’m happy to do so. Read the little interview I gave about Fashion Week here. After the jump you get some more shots.

After spending the whole day in the Fashion Week tent on Tuesday watching tiny skeleton girls running down the catwalk I was quite happy to go to The Shit Shop fashion show of Bonnie Strange and her girls Lena and Laura. It will not surprise you that I don’t like skinny girls on the catwalk very much. Not because I think all models are anorexic or having an eating disorder. I just don’t understand why there is only one type of body on the catwalk. Actually, it simply bores me to see 30 long skinny girls one after another. In my opinion I would appreciate the creativity of a designer much more if he would be able to show his design on different types of people. Some designers did this during fashion week like Patrick Mohr (which I will write about soon) and Bonnie Strange. It felt like a fresh stormy breath. What I think about Bonnie’s collection comes after the jump.

Thinking about it, I’ve never actually been to a hen night, nor to a bachelor party. I’ve seen this tradition many times when I was still living near Simon-Dach-Strasse in Friedrichshain. A group of hysterical girls with rediculous outfits making a fuzz and invading bars and restaurants to play silly games with innocent bystanders. I’ve always found that to be a quite horrible tradition and hoped none of my friends would ever invite me to something like this. It’s just very unglamorous. When Berlin’s it-girl number one invited me to her bachelorette party, I had no choice but to say yes, because a) I was damn sure her party would be glamorous as hell and b) how can you say no to the lovely and talented Bonnie Strange? And the party was certainly an event of its own class: hot stripper, all male guests in drag (except me), a stretch limo, and a VIP area in a trashy club.
It was really heart-warming to see how much effort Bonnie’s friends put into this and only half-way through the night Bonnie already announced that this was the best night of her life. While I agree that the party was quite a lot of fun I certainly hope that the wedding will be able to top this! Good luck to her and her fiance Jakob, our fellow blogger from Dandy Diary.

Most blogs take the final days of the year as an opportunity to recycle their favorite articles of the year. We’ve opeted for another kind of retrospective, and it’s not really about us, but about people who have impressed us this year, more specifically the strong and beautiful women that we have been lucky to cross paths with. Enjoy our parade of the Coolest Bitches of 2012 and why we love them, after the jump.

It’s always an absolute delight for me when my talented photographer friend Katja Hentschel releases a new fashion film because it’s a guaranteed couple of minutes spent well. Her new film Paradise Serenade was shot on Velassaru in the Maldives with Bonnie Strange. It’s a great retro styled pool & cocktail themed video that instantly makes you want to travel to the nearest tropical beach. Enjoy after the jump.

The Shit: Lena, Bonnie & Laura
You’ve already had a look behind the scenes of Bonnie Strange‘s first big The Shit fashion show. And now I’m finally giving you the photos of the big party and the show. It was the most fun event during Berlin Fashion Week, thanks to Bonnie’s cheeky Fuck You! attitude. I guess all pseudo-serious and boring fashion journalists who laid eyes on the daring collection that was dominated by lycra, plush, pleather and the colors neon pink, green and yellow must have died inside a little, haha! To me this was exactly what a show must be like: Lots of fun! And I love it when a designer actually has a sense of humor – you never get to see this in Berlin. If you want to see the looks of the show head over to Glamcanyon. To see the party head over the jump and enjoy!
