Berlin Fashion Week – Spring/Summer 2010 – Review Part 4
Lala Berlin, based in Mulackstraße, was supposed to be one of the highlights of Fashion Week. But the only light I could see was the brightness of the pink of the invitation card and of some dresses during the show. It started with a long waiting cause tons of people arrived late for the show. Then, a bunch of photographers blocked my view on the catwalk. My neighbour almost cricked his head in order to see which famous “celebrity” got so much attention. Soon the secret was solved: Fanta Vier sent one of their guys, sitting next to Heike Makatsch, Eva Padberg and this singing German youngster actress , I forgot her name. Gosh, had this been Germany’s celebrity elite? I suddenly felt bored in Lalaland.
As if my eyes hadn’t been strained enough that day, I was forced to see a boring collection of old granny knitted cardigans and those mentioned pink dresses that received – to my astonishment – thunderous applause. Well, not everything can be so good as Black Coffee or the show of Mongrels in Common, to me one of those rare designers who really know how to make good stuff. A look at that as well as my impressions of Patrick Mohr after the jump.
