Most Fashion trade shows are normally not very concerned with sustainability. The way the Who’s Next Paris handled this topic was surprisingly creative: They invited the vintage store chain Hippy Market to host several sale booths all over the grounds of the fair. You could compare this store chain with Made In Berlin.
On these little Vintage islands that were embedded into the exhibition you could discover unusual and selected vintage pearls from Paris to moderate prices. I was actually so fascinated by this discovery that I spend half my day hunting from one booth to the other to find some vintage souvenirs from Paris. The philosophy of Hippy Market is exactly like my oppinion of the second-hand gold: Vintage is not only fashion with a history but also a good and affordable alternative to green fashion.

Saturday is the perfect day for flea markets. But with today’s rainy weather the Toast & Jam was the perfect alternative. The Vintage Fashion Fair took place for the first time ever in these last three days. Fashion, furniture and accessories from various decades are for sale and finest Vintage Couture pieces are on offer next to no-name knitted jumpers. Exberliner magazine and Nowkoelln Flowmarkt initiated the Vintage Fashion Market and promise: „Bygone trends will be rediscovered.“ Anne Poprausch, winner of the Vintage Smackdown, was one of the 30 selected sellers „I am thrilled“ she told us „ I didn’t think the Bread & Butter crowd would come to see us, but the two worlds actually mixed. I’d definitely do it again, if I’m invited!“
And we´ll certainly come back. Because instead of wasting the day going from one place to the other, we loved having more time to browse! Check all info about the sellers, party and of course all our photos after the Jump.

While putting together the new event guide for the upcoming week I sort of got an overdose of Christmas markets and sales. There are once again plenty! Well I have all my presents together already, but have you? Luckily this week gets mixed up with some fashion related events. Phew! More events after the break.

My good friend and talented photographer Katja Hentschel is organizing a very special fleamarket for women who are trying to generate some cash for their next vacation. The Travelettes Fleamarket is going to take place at Dr. Pong on July 4 close to Mauerpark. So far some really interesting women have booked a booth (it’s free!) but there are still some open spots for those who want to sell their vintage goods. If you still need some inspiration and advice for your next trip you should check out Travelettes. Details after the jump.
