She did it! As I wrote before, I was very hesitant to believe that Olivia Palermo will attend Berlin Fashion Week, but I still went to the Markus Lupfer presentation at Soho House because I thought there might be a slight chance of her being there. She arrived about 15 minutes after me, posed for pictures, looked at the collection, talked to many people, changed her outfit and left again. And let me tell you, she is tiny. I looked like a giant compared to her. But let me also tell you, she is super sweet. Forget the “The City” bullshit where she is portrayed as a bitch, at the Markus Lupfer event she was the nicest girl in the room. Here are some of my pictures…

Tomorrow night Berlin fashion week will officially kick off with the Grazia party. Tons of shows, presentations, parties, brunches and fun will follow until sunday. One of the most surprising and interesting news reached me earlier today when I was told that Olivia Palermo is expected to be at the Markus Lupfer presentation on friday. Olivia in Berlin? Possible since she has always named Berlin as one of her favorite places. I’ll definitely be there and try to get a look at the New Yorker socialite.

One thing all women and girls in the world have in common? We love to look at wedding gowns and we love to dream of our perfect wedding. Guys, dont worry, that doesnt mean that we want you to marry us tomorrow, it just means that we know what we want…someday. This week there was the bridal fashion week in Barcelona and topmodels like Toni Garrn and Karolina Kurkova showed off the most amazing Pronovia wedding dresses. Layers and layers of white silk in all shapes…it looked lovely. These dresses cant compare to the Kaviar Gauche dresses that I saw during fashion week, but the lace dress that Toni wore really caught my eye. It reminds me of Grace Kelly and who was a more classy and beautiful bride as princess Grace? I cant think of anyone…

While I’m in rainy Munich the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is happening in Sydney. I would LOVE to be there because I really love the Australian fashion and think their style is really young and inspiring. So instead of being there I was looking through hundreds of pictures today and found some really amazing backstage pictures. I made this little collage above, it’s like an inspiration board for me for upcoming make up experiments. I really wanna try the dark pink lipstick/nail polish combo, so cute! And the ribbons that are painted on the models are so cool too, I wish I could have seen those looks in reality…sigh.

This Paris Fashion Week was different than the last one. The clothes were more wearable ( see Chloe or Valentino for example ), the heels got flatter and most importantly the model cast changed. Of course there were still the 16 year old super skinny Russians, the ones that you just wanna feed a sandwich or two, but there were some real women, too. Karolina Kurkova who was one of the best earning high fashion models about 7 years ago returned to the runway, walked for Louis Vuitton just 4 month after giving birth and looked better than ever. Similar thing with Adriana Lima, after seeing her at the Givenchy front row a few days ago, we expected her to walk in some show, still it was a surprise to spot her at Louis Vuitton. French stunner Laeticia Casta even opened the show. All of them showed some cleavage, some curves and a very grown up look that 16 year olds just cant. I’m very happy with the developement in that direction, it’s just fair to see real women in the clothes that real women want to buy.

Sonia Rykiel showed her collection in Paris today. Now THIS is what I call a beautiful picture. Love the colors and the movement, two things that are very important for a good picture imo. Too bad her H&M collection wasn’t even close to this…

Yes I’m in Munich and of course my time here in this new city is exciting for me, but even more exciting news come from Paris! Crazy things have happened in Paris this week, the VS Angels took over some of the most prestigious shows like Prada and Balenciaga for example. What made me really happy is that it was revealed that Natasha Poly will be on the April Cover of Vogue Paris! I cant wait to see what she will be wearing and who will be the photographer, it’s definately a must buy for me! Another cool thing that happened in Paris is a photoshoot with Nicole Richie whose pictures looks amazing! Now Im very excited for the final shows of Paris Fashion Week like Chanel!!!!

Last night I was invited to a charity fashion show in Potsdam, which is a beautiful small city close to Berlin. I’m happy I went, because the designs were amazing. The designers were students of fashion school ESMOD, but you couldn’t tell that they aren’t professionals. All the dresses looked like something Lady Gaga would love to wear, lots of shimmer, glitter and shiny fabrics combined with oversize shapes, big shoulders and super high heels. I think it is really great to see that the future of designers is nothing that we need to worry about! Check out my pictures…

It’s time for my annual review of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show ; ) Yes, so far I’m only judging by pictures and a few short videos, we’ll see how everything looks edited. So here’s my Yay/Nay list:

Yaaaaayyyy to…

The opening with the Black Eyed Peas and Alessandra, fierce, cool and eventhough Alessandra pointed a lot (which I hate) she at least did it with her mouth closed.

Some really classy outfits that focused on the lingerie, like Ana BB with faux fur, Miranda’s black one or Julia’s green one.

Lots of cool wings this year, like Izabel’s huge silver ones, Behati’s peace wings, Abbey Lee’s peacock wings and Maryna’s yellow wings.

The runway in the shape of a “V”.

Naaaaayyyy to…

The music choice of Leona Lewis…too slow!!!

Chanel Iman throwing her purse into the audience…diva moment!

All the blowing kisses,pointing,dancing,winking….just walk!!!

Liu Wen’s outfit

Marisa not having wings with her fantasy bra, it could have looked amazing but it didnt.

Heidi walking, I just think it was unnecessary.

Now it’s up to the editors of CBS to edit the show well, so we can enjoy it to the most! The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2009 will air on CBS on December 1. To all Germans: Pro7 will air the show in about 3 weeks!

Now tell me, what do you think of this year’s show so far?
