Berlin Fashion Week....Cinta



Beautiful History of Art student Cinta Villapadierna in her Dad's monogrammed shirt. Beg, Borrow or Steal a dress shirt from your Dad, your man, your grandad or your local charity shop*, get it monogrammed with your initials, and claim it as your own!

Follow Cinta at her blog Trapped in Her Closet.

*rephrase that! No stealing from the charity shop! Um, or your Dad if it's his favourite shirt! I don't want any irate papa's emailing me!
Berlin Fashion Week.....Vintage Dress



Just after I took this photograph, I was photographing another girl and walking backwards at the same time and knocked over a bike with my ar*e in front of a crowd of people! So embarrassing. Other people merely drop their champagne glass at functions, I manage to knock over bikes with my bum!
Berlin Fashion Week....Ingrid



Ingrid (1/3 of the Anywho girls*) in vintage skirt and jacket, and Steve Madden sandals.

*thanks so everyone who helped me with Stephanie (another 1/3 of the Anywho) a couple of weeks ago!
Berlin Fashion Week....Anna



Anna-lena. How incredible is her hair? Mine, at shoulder length, gets so incredibly knotty
and tangled-heaven forbid if I grew it to this length, I would spend 3 hours a day trying to tame it!

Berlin Fashion Week...The White Dress



The dress was her mum's when she was her age. See, it pays to squirrel things away and not throw things out*!

*comment meant for the benefit of my husband who is forever telling me I need to get rid of things :) Admittedly we don't have much space at the moment but that's beside the point.um, kind of.
Berlin Street Style....Franzi



Summer in the City (note the bright yellow bikini top peeking out from under her tank) as demonstrated by Franzi (who was kind enough to email me afterwards with some cool places to go in Berlin. One of them was the flea market at Mauerpark which I didn't manage to get to but is on my must-do list for next time I go to Berlin).

Berlin Fashion Week...Rolled Up Sleeves



Somehow I missed the start of the rolled-up t-shirt sleeve trend. Is anyone NOT rolling their sleeves right now?

Berlin Street Style....Frayed Edges



I was in the line for my morning take-away coffee at Cafe Einstein when I spotted this girl having coffee with her man. I was almost at the front of the (long) queue when she got up to leave. Eeek! coffee v photograph? coffee v photograph? coffee v photograph? Always the debate rages in my head (not always about coffee! Commonly it involves the bus or the tube).
Photography won this time :)

Berlin Fashion Week.....Jessica



Jessica Weiss from Les Mads online blog. Jessica worked super hard during fashion week- the Les Mads girls were updating hourly!
Freckles + Turban= Perfection
Phew, what a busy week it has been! I have so many photographs to show you guys, both street style and some shoots I have been doing with girls in London and Paris. I just need to find some time to sit down and edit all the photos.
So, Berlin. Many thanks to everyone who gave me tips on where to go, eat, visit while I was in Berlin-I would have been wandering around aimlessly in the heat without your help. Um, did I mention the heat? Dear God, it was HOT! Somebody said it was 41° C on Saturday..... I now know what the underarm sweat pads in the press pack were for (although I still haven't quite worked out how they actually stay on securely....how horribly mortifying would it be if one popped out while you were on a first date?). Apart from the oppressive heat, Berlin was fantastic. Everyone was very helpful, the coffee was great (Cafe Einstein, Espresso Ambulanz and Barcomi's Deli in Mitte were my favourite caffeine recharge spots) and the design (both architectural and interior) was wonderful. However, for me, the best part of visiting Berlin was seeing the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the Holocaust Memorial, and the Reichstag - at once bewildering, powerful, astounding and emotive.

Berlin Fashion Week...Reality Studio



My absolute favourite "show" in Berlin was Reality Studio .Girls, and the designer herself, on super cool Electra Townie bikes* cycling around Mitte. Brilliant!
