We’re back from two days Berlin – two days at four fairs with too many brands doing all the same.
A few brands stayed in mind, a few details caught our eyes. Like the lovely striped espadrilles by Armor Lux, the crazy denim fabrics by Naked & Famous, the bleached and coated stuff from Nigel Cabourn, the beautiful mini garments by Levi’s Vintage Clothing and an amazing collection of bags and accessories by Mismo.
I’m looking forward to the fresh color palette of the next summer with bright yellow’s, oranges and reds contrasting with turquoise, mint greens and slate blue’s. And at last, without the checks.
Between all the fairs we managed to visit a few of our favorite shops and restaurants. We found some amazing frames at Lunettes Brillenagentur, the latest issues of the best magazines around at Do You Read Me?! and we very much enjoyed the good company and whiskey’s at Burg & Schield.
About the game we’ve played (and lost) against High Snobiety at the Jacked in Berlin event by Converse I won’t say too much… only that the place, the people and the ambiance was superb!

Thank you Berlin for treating us well!

Last week Menno and I went to Berlin, to the Bread & Butter and Premium. After one day BB we can say it is all quite the same. Sure, every brand got its own details, but 95% of the show is about the great classic revival and it didn’t inspired me. What was inspiring was the tiny place with Nigel Cabourn, Filson and Red Wing Shoes, and off course the unforgettable Moma boat shoes (displayed above). Later that day we went to Premium, to our friends at Denim Demon, Whyzeck and newcomer Libertine-Libertine. And I must say, Denim Demon is going to rock hard! The result of the Project Ware Outs is breath taking and the new sping/summer ’10 collections of Whyszeck and Denim Demon are fantastic! Later this month we’ll have an exhibition with the wear out project at Tenue de Nîmes and the Modefabriek… Stay tuned for that one.

The second day in Berlin we visited 14oz, do you read me?!, Acne, Andreas Murkudis, 51 Things to buy at little nippn world, APC, ending our trip at Burg & Schild. Berlin is rocking!
