Fashion hit the town last week! What did I do? Tuning in my ear to German by allowing the TV to run German soaps – for instance something about a real life judge sorting out confused people’s real life problems – does it really hurt so much when handcuffs are taken off that you need to spend several minutes rubbing your wrists with an expression of severe agony? No, I don’t think so.
Anyway… Fashion in Berlin? I love shopping but I am not a fashion freak. I don’t read Vogue, Elle, etc, I prefer High Street fashion and can go crazy in London with my bank card (I hate cash, I hate to know that I am actually spending money) but here in Berlin fashion is much more laidback. But a creative individualistic and inventive laidback. I really don’t spend so much money here and have almost lost interest.
So I ignored all events, all but one, one I think was the ultimate event of the week. Fashionweek Backstage was a club event on Saturday night which took place at Stadtbad Oderberger (did we have to wear bikinis?) with a live set by Booka Shade (oh yes!). Here are some impressions:
And it was great. The crowd was not the usual electro followers that you find in the normal clubs, granted the entrance fee was pretty high by Berlin standards but in my humble opinion to see Booka Shade it was well worth it. I will try to upload some of the videos I recorded as the quality is not bad and the music great…
