Fashion and politics?

What are they dealing with one another? Sometimes more than it looks like. Have a look on the ladies and gentlemen of politicians during the coalition negotiations – it looks like a tough dress code: all pantsuits and jackets.

And some years ago the sneakers of Joschka Fischer during his swearing-in as Hessian minister made such headlines that you now can look at them in a museum. But the bon mot I want to get rid of is: recently the filming about the fall of the Berlin wall was finished. Working title: “Bornholmer Straße”. The shooting was done in Berlin and Magdeburg. In the last one because already too much had changed in Berlin.

At least since Alexander McQueen's Box Clutch Bag - with death head fastener - the box clutch bag is absolutely the trend among the clutches - for the red carpet or another special event! It is perfect for the evening robe or a party outfit: the box clutch is small, but it gives a special glamour to the wearer and furthermore dramatics to the performance and is a real eye-catcher! And as well you can place these beautiful little bags like a jewel in your hand. The best is: as the demand is great, the clutches are available now in different fabrics and colours what also gives more possibilities for combinations.

Trendtours: sheer

Sheer blouses are nothing new to the fashion world and have found their way into our wardrobes long time ago. But for many designers this wasn’t not enough for the summer of 2013: dresses, skirts and sweatshirts are made ​​of sheer chiffon and are waiting in the relevant boutiques for us. We are not talking about lace dresses à la Dolce & Gabbana, which cover the essentials, thanks to sophisticated embroidery, but from completely transparent materials. That the new transparency may even appear sporty, proved Stella McCartney and David Koma with transparent sweater-skirt kombinations. Calvin Klein combines slightly creped sheer dresses with bustier dresses and makes the look appear between lingerie and evening wear. Where do you find the most beautiful pieces of the sheer trend in Berlin shows you this trend-tour. -----start the trendtour sheer right here-----

Trendtour: collage-couture

also called patchwork-trend! Do not worry, you need not wear clothes that have been stitched together from old pieces of fabric. Labels such as Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler created for the summer of 2013 new silhouettes through the use of individual pieces of fabric. Proenza Schouler presented box jackets with square pieces of fabric alooking even more boxy and dresses with uncoordinated seams looking very futurist. Roksanda uses different pieces of fabric to reinforced the curvy silhouette of her designs and Erdem Moralioglu’s game between romantic lace and rough snake print in his creations is working thanks to different patterns. In this trend-tour I put together the most beautiful pices matching the collage-couture trend avaliable in our stores in Berlin just for you. ...You can start the trendtour collage couture right here....

Trendtour: clean chic

One of the trend themes this season is „Clean Chic”, also called Minimalism or Purism

- a look showing clearness with more sober colours and forms. Pattern as well as colour blocking have no place in it. The most important rule for this style is consequence! Minimalism is a style that tolerates no cuts. But it puts the wearer into the center, retracting itself. You have to look for perfect fitting of the clothing as no pattern and no crazy cutting or application detract from mistakes here. The “clean chic” is for sure one of the most exciting trends of the season because on one side there are items not going out of style and on the other it is combinable with trends like “black & white” or “transparence trend”. And corresponding to this trend I compiled again a new trend tour for you which will guide you across the city to some of the most beautiful shops which will present looks for this style. ---- start the trendtour clean chic right here ---
