It's that time of the year again in which Berlin transforms itself into the international hotspot for fashion and art. Berlin Fashion Week features runway shows, award ceremonies, trade shows and lots of side-events. In contrast of the commercially-oriented fashion haute couture shows like Paris and New York, Berlin is more original, younger, urban and artsy. Performance art is the alternative to catwalks for Berlin's newcomers. It showcases the experimental side of fashion and highlights the vivid forms of self-expression. It is unique as Berlin's fashion is more daring, androgynous, minimal, dark, raw and intentionally careless; all characteristics of the city's underground club culture.
We visited Premium, Seek and LondonEdge trade shows, POP UP by ProjektGalerie, Superficial show, Thoas Lindner's performance fashion show, and last but definitively not least, Don't Shoot The Messengers (DSTM) cocktail sale event.
