**************************************************

YES WE CAN!!! Germany can be proud of a handful
distinctive designers one of who is Marcel Ostertag, Marcel has grown once again and by the looks of it he won´t stop now, his collection has been eye candy, compared to other designers showcasing in Berlin during the Fashion Week Marcel understands how to complement a female´s body, his pattern construction has become more simple at garments such as dresses, and skirts, more wearable for a wider market and consumers, it worked well as the collection had a broad variety of beautiful tailored pieces, it seemed endless but yet I sat there enjoyed every minute of the show as Marcel managed to take me away from the Berlin fashion tent for a few minutes which I found rather delightful, breathtaking - and must have are the handbags, I fell in love straight away with the texture and color combinations of the whole collection. If only we had more German talents like Marcel who would start dominating on the catwalk based in their country, but Marcel is not turning back and one to keep an eye on.

Shochu Bar @ Berlin Mitte

2009-02-10T05:49:00.000-08:00

The Shochu Bar in the Hotel Adlon

is not a new hot spot in Berlin, however it is still worth having a drop in, if you have international guest and need to impress.

It is my second favorite spot directly after Q.Hotel Bar, when it comes to launching around in a calm and tasteful environment.

Anna Maria Jagdfeld known for her
distinctive and exquisite taste when it comes to interior design has given the
Shochu an desirable living room atmosphere. A place worth checking out!

"I like Ponies" by Iekeliene Stange
Photography exhibition
28.01-31.01

How lucky can Berlin get, thanks to Projekt Galerie we will have a real Top Model coming to town for her own photography exhibition, having had a pre-sneak at. The images she will introduce us to a rather real and pure vision of a model not being the object but the betrayer. Iekeliene likes to keep memories executed by her images, the images appear to be absurd blended with a surrealistic touch, she is known for being booked for major fashion campaigns such as, Marc Jacobs, D&G, Topshop and Burberry. The international model is represented by the most successful models agencies worldwide and has now moved on with her young age of 24 becoming a promising visual artist.

I will be interviewing the lovely Iekeliene about her fashionista life and her exhibition which will be screened on www.fashion-spotlight.com (tv reports)

DIESEL ONLY THE BRAVE scent Launch Party

2009-01-18T06:58:00.000-08:00

Berlin- Mitte DIESEL Launch
ONLY THE BRAVE

Once again Berlin proved to be one of the hottest cities worldwide, kicking of with the Diesel ONLY THE BRAVE scent launch party. January will be packed with international events, this coming week.

Brad Pitt will attend for the launch of the Benjamin Button movie starring him and Cate Blanchett, who quickly picked up her Golden Globe Award for best actress before coming to Berlin, also Tom Cruise will be in town for the new movie (Operation Walküre) just one day after. Next week will not be much less exciting, and Berlin´s January will be nicely ending with the Fashion Week (27th)

I have met Renzo some while back in London, once I heard he will be attending his launch in Berlin, I knew this will turn into a wild one! The creator of the cult denim brand Diesel, proved that as a brand builder you can be commercial nevertheless still be very cutting edge, wacky and unique. That seems to be his winning formula over more than two decades -to just be real, I am not stating any names but there are similar Label creators of emporiums in the same fashion sector, the difference between XYZ and Renzo is, Renzo is not trying to be young, cool and hip and sucking up to celeb´s, he just is the way he is.

ONLY THE BRAVE- scent is once again a rather beautiful combination of being arty with a gentle hint of being provoking as well as commercial enough to attract or shall I say attack the average mass consumer.The message is pretty obvious, this scent is for two kinds of consumers, the Brave & the ones who want to be Brave, confident - in your face- Yes this will all be YOU once shower yourself in this strong as well as sensual liquid - moreover it seems to work to become calm, peaceful and loved up between humans, (see picture below) maybe Obama and Rossi should do a Co-op and drop the flacons in every war zone on this earth. And Bush should be on OTB injections every 1/3 hour for life!

Berlin Fashion Week A/W 09

2009-01-12T12:31:00.000-08:00

MERCEDES- BENZ FASHION WEEK BERLIN

A/W2009

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week appoints
Top Model Julia Stegner

The biggest German Fashion Show Event ( Mercedes-Benz, IMG) will be kicking off on January 28 at the Bebelplatz in the Heart of Berlin- City. They have managed once again to gather a bunch off rather interesting national, international, establishes and newcomer designers, which will hopefully stear up the German Fashion Scene. My personal highlights for this season would have to be Marcel Ostertag, Markus Lupfer, the Duo Kaviar Gauche, lalaBerlin and Berhard Willhelm. I think those listed designers will shine with their collections blissed & filled with creativity & high international standard, which most German designers still seem to lack of. They don´t dare to express themselves fully, however you can´t blame them for this behavoir as they need to sell and not only shine on the catwalk. Sadly most of the "Kauts" are rather lost when it comes to the ABC of "dress 2 impress", or just simply being well coordinated by the way you are combining your look. It is so easy to be in fashion, but it is pretty hard to develope your own style and feel confident with it - Especially with sales people all running around you and trying to manipulate you to buy the whole shop!!!!

Mercedes-Benz and IMG are the main Organizers of this chain of events, however there are also running otherFashion Events throughout Berlin, such as projektGALERIE which are exhibiting avant garde, international carefully selected fashion designers for buyers with high standards. PG are also known for their "ART meets FASHION" events for movers &shakers and fashinistas. For all Fashinistas who want to be part of this happening, please look below for more useful links!
And don´t forget - Dress 2 Impress - we don´t want any bloody fashion accidents on the streets of Berlin!

Pssst: Ohhhh... if you see Eva Padberg, please do not copy her style- she is sooo out, she has been dumped,sooo last season darlings!!!

Mario Testino launching German Vogue - Berlin is growing into a international Fashion Meeting Spot .

2008-11-22T02:29:00.000-08:00

S-E-X Party

Mario Testino lädt zum Dinner im „Grill Royal“ und zur After Party in die Bar Tausend

„SEX by Mario Testino“ - verkündete die Juni Ausgabe der deutschen VOGUE mit einer halbnackten, ewigjungen Claudia Schiffer auf dem Cover.

Um die Zusammenarbeit mit Mario Testino zu feiern, richtete die deutsche VOGUE Anfang Juni zu Ehren des weltberühmten Fotografen ein exklusives Dinner im Berliner In-Restaurant „Grill Royal“ aus. Die Organisation übernahmen die Vogue Chefredakteurin Christiane Arp und Condé Nast Verleger Bernd Runge. Der Gastgeber lud persönlich Freunde und Bekannte ein, was ein familiäres Miteinander in einer schönen Atmosphäre schaffte.

Unter den Gästen tummelten sich Schauspielerin Natalia Wörner und Filmproduzent Nikolaus Weil, die Designer Wolfgang Joop und die Hollywood Stars Rupert Everett und Udo Kier. Ein begehrter Gast war auch der Berliner Maler und Performancekünstler Jonathan Meese, der sich selten sehen lässt und wenn überhaupt, dann gern im Gourmet-Tempel seiner Freunde Boris Radzun und Stefan Landwehr. Eine weitere in der Öffentlichkeit sehr rare Persönlichkeit war Künstlerin Oda Jaune, die ihr Atelier verließ, um in Berlin mit Testino zu feiern.

Später ging es um die Ecke in die Bar Tausend, wo Testino im VIP Bereich ausgelassen feierte und seine Gäste unterhielt.

Auch MODE hatte die Gelegenheit mit Mario Testino ein Paar Worte zu wechseln.

Martina Rink exklusiv für MODE:

Testino: Heute in McQueen!?

MODE:Du scheinst ja ein zoomendes Auge zu haben. Schön dich wiede zusehen Mario! Geniesst du die Party?

Testino: Hallo! Ja es ist wunderbar wieder in Berlin zu sein, und jetzt auch mit meinen Freunden zu feiern.

MODE: Der Anlass ist ja deine Zusammenarbeit mit der deutschen VOGUE. Was ist Mode für dich?

Testino: Mode sind für mich Leute wie Du. Junge kreative Menschen, mit Sinn für Zeitgeist und Ästhetik. Unkommerzielle Menschen, die sich leiten lassen von ihren Visionen.

Mode ist eine Lebensphilosophie.

MODE: Meinst du also Menschen die „unverbraucht“ sind?

Testino: Ja. Jemand, der sich nicht zu sehr von der Medienwelt beeinflussen lässt, ein freier Geist bleibt - Das ist bewundernswert !

MODE: Was hältst du von jungen Modemagazinen? Wie MODE zum Beispiel.

Testino: Ich finde das sehr aufregend. Innovation inspiriert mich. Ich unterstütze gern junge Talente.

MODE: Was bedeutet dir Berlin, wird hier für dich Mode gemacht?

Testino: Ich bin immer sehr gern hier. Ich fühle die Bewegung und Entwicklung und es macht mir immer Spaß hier zu sein.

MODE: Ist auch immer schön dich hier zu haben.

Vielen Danke und genieß den Abend. See you soon darling !!!

Stundenlang bewegte er sich noch durch Mengen von Menschen, und mit jedem machte er Fotos, lachte und unterhielt er sich. Später nahm er an einem Tisch platzt und widmete sich seinem Lebenspartner Jan Olesen, mit dem er dann einige Zeit später auch die Bar Tausend verließ.

Zurück blieben zufriedene Gäste in Partylaune, die trotz Wochenstart noch bis Sonnenaufgang in der Aura des großen Künstlers feierten.
