Yes, I still cant believe it but I got to do a short interview with topmodel Julia Stegner at the Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week press conference this morning. Julia looked lovely, wearing a black shirt, beige blazer and light pink pants. She also wore a lot of silver jewellery, lots of beautiful rings, bracelets and necklaces.

When I introduced myself to her she was smiling and said “Hi! I’m Julia!”, really sweet and down to earth. I asked her if she is still looking for an apartment in Berlin, she said yes, but if she finds one that she likes she will buy it as an investment for the future and might move to Berlin in a few years. I asked her if she likes to go shopping in Berlin and if she has some favorite shops, she answered that everytime she’s been to Berlin she never had enough time to go shopping but she would love to do it soon. Julia also told me that she will only be here until thursday thats why she wont walk in any shows but will be in the audience of the Black Coffee and Ramirez fashion show.

That means I’m gonna see her again since I’m also gonna be in the audience of that show : ) I noticed her hair is shorter than usually and she didnt wear much make up and still looked perfect! Gotta love Julia Stegner!

Here are my pictures…

So tomorrow the craziness will begin. The Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week will start with a press conference tomorrow morning. Of course this week I wanna be super fashionable and thats why I love looking online for outfit inspiration. Found those two pictures on style and the city and I love those outfits. One of my all time favorites are the very Chanel looking bags with chain straps, I think I own 5 bags in that style and I never get tired of them cos they really suit every kind of outfit. Bought another one at topshop this week, denim style. I think I’m gonna wear a lot of dresses this Fashion Week since it will be really warm. Dresses, wedge heels, belts and hairbands. 

Make sure you check my blog tomorrow for my Julia Stegner press conference pics and mayyyybe even a small interview. Anything you want me to ask Julia?

Cheap flights kick ass, go easyjet! * Paris is beautiful, impressive buildings everywhere * Parts of Paris are so dirty and smelly…eeww * Paris is sooo loud * Paris has some cool Vintage Shops * Cheese, crackers and wine - awesome! * Disneyland is magical * Biarritz is sooo pretty * Nothing’s better than reading fashion magazines at the beach * I hate rain * Ca m’eneeeeerve! * Nothing compares to the colors of a sunset * Shopping in Bristol is fun * Topshop and Starbucks are heaven *

Oh well…. now I’m back and found tons of invites to Berlin Fashion Week Fashion Shows. Will give you a proper post about that later…

Oui! Tomorrow I will go to the city of love, the city of fashion, the city of art and maybe the most beautiful city in the world - Paris.

I’m gonna spend four days there with my BF before we go to Biarritz and come back on June 23, so please understand if I wont blog in the next 2 weeks, I will definitely be back with lots of fashionable stories to share with you. Pariiiis, I cant wait… I wanna see the whole city, I wanna find the best vintage stores, I wanna have wine and cheese while looking at la tour Eiffel, I wanna improve my French and most of all - I wanna go to Disneyland! Yes…Disneyland might not be the most fashionable place, but definitely the most fun place!

If you know any places/things in Paris that you think I should definitely visit/see, just leave me a comment : )

Alors, au revoir mes amis!

To all my fellow Berliner fashionistas and all other international lovers of fashion visiting Berlin, if you like Vintage clothes and crazy styles, go to “Made in Berlin”. It’s a big vintage store, located in the “in” part of Berlin, Hackesche Hoefe. You can find tons of dresses, jackets, blouses etc from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s as well as beautiful leather bags, wallets and belts. And girls - there are two rooms especially for shoes ; ) The prices are alright, I saw lots of stuff for 30 Euros or less and on tuesdays between 12 and 3 pm you get 20% off everything. Still thinking if I should get this purse that I saw yesterday….hhhmm. Anyways, you can find Made in Berlin at Neue Schoenhauser Str. 19.

I was very happy to be contacted by Amanda from PUSH iT who introduced me to that very stylish online fashion magazine. Aparently it is very successful in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. I checked out their homepage and I really like their editorials. The way they style the models and the outfits they choose are very beautiful. Will definitely check back : )

So, as you all know, in a little less than four weeks the Mercedes-Benz Berlin Fashion Week will start again and I’m very happy to be part of it for the third time now. One thing that I cant get outta my head - obviously - is what am I gonna wear during those four days of fashion craziness??? It has to be pretty, edgy, kinda comfortable cos I’m walking around all day and of course super fashionable! So when I saw this picture at superfantasticpicturetime I thought…perfect! Love the combination of cool pants and gladiators with a romantic hippie like blouse. I actually got a blouse like that, I got the sunnies, I got the pants, now I only need the shoes and the necklace. Any suggestions for Fashion Week outfits? Comment here or email me!

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK BERLIN SHOWS CONTINUED 

GROWTH 

MANY NEW AND RETURNING DESIGNERS ON BERLIN’S RUNWAY SCHEDULE  

 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin has continued to grow since premiering in July 2007 and will again this summer present an ever increasing number of designer runway shows. Conversations with interested brands and designers are still ongoing, but confirmed thus far are Anja Gockel, Black Coffee, BOSS Orange, CUSTO Barcelona, EASTPAK, ESCADA, GANT, GREENshowroom, Guido Maria Kretschmer, Kilian Kerner, Kunsthochschule Weißensee, LAC ET MEL, Lala Berlin, Lena Hoschek, Michalsky, Michael Sontag, Mongrels in Common, Pablo Ramirez, Patrick Mohr, Penkov, René Lezard, Sabrina Dehoff, Scherer González, SCHUMACHER, Smeilinener, Starstyling, Strenesse Blue, University of Fine Arts Berlin. “Our designers know that a catwalk show within Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin is a very good investment, even in challenging times,” says Maia Guarnaccia, Vice President IMG Fashion Europe. “The marketing reach of these shows is tremendous and the costs in Berlin are reasonable compared to Paris or Milan. Here also, they find an amazing audience filled with editors from key national and international publications, as well as retailers from all parts of the world.” “Thanks to the strong partnership between IMG, the city of Berlin and ourselves, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin has returned into the top class of fashion metropolises,” says Anders Sundt Jensen, Vice President Brand Communications Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The continuously growing number of designers, visitors as well as other fashion events all around Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin is proof of this success.” The Award-Show “Designer for Tomorrow by Peek & Cloppenburg Düsseldorf” will again put amazing young talent on the runway of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin and give them the chance to be discovered as the next up-and-coming designer. Out of more than 150 applicants, 8 finalists will get to showcase a capsule collection in front of an expert jury and a large industry audience. The winner will be awarded with a prize and extensive tutorial by Peek & Cloppenburg KG Düsseldorf. Last season’s participants have received huge media attention and have started promising careers with companies such as adidas and Comme des Carçons. For the third time, the Showroom-Mile, an initiative of the Senate for Economics, Technology and Women’s Issues, Berlin, will present a large number of designers, such as van Reimersdahl, But- terflysoulfire or Zeha. Local businesses and institutions support this great effort and make space for the collections. Berliners, tourists and the industry guests of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin are invited to experience these local designers within unique settings.  “Showroom-Mile is a perfect addition to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin,“ says Harald Wolf, Mayor and Senator for Economics, Technology and Women’s Issues, Berlin. “We open this fashion event for the general public and found several companies and partners who give space and other benefits to the designers. Again this season Showroom-Mile will represent 50 designers and artists from Berlin and around the world.”  Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin is made possible by the following sponsors: Mercedes-Benz, DHL, Maybelline Jade, Peek & Cloppenburg KG Düsseldorf and Veltins and will again be endorsed by the Senate for Economics, Technology and Women’s Issues, Berlin. For further information and our online registration please visit www.mercedes- benzfashionweekberlin.com.

And AGAIN she is the cover model for a “green issue” ( last year she was on the cover of the green issue of Aussie magazine Madison ), but this time a little bit more sexy. I don’t really like the cover, but I LOVE the black and white pics of her editorial. She’s wearing nothing but skinny jeans and her hair looks really nice on those pics, they could totally be for a jeans campaign!
