Stylecheck #9 Bread and Butter

Spreeufer für alle!

...oder: demonstrieren kann so schön sein. Am Jahrestag der Loveparade tanzten gestern 10.000ende in einem Sternmarsch entlang der Spree. Hinter dem roten Rathaus wurde dann das Symbol-Styropor-Baby niedergelegt. Demowagen kamen unter anderem von den Bachstelzen (hier war ich), dem Watergate, der Wilden Renate und natürlich der Bar25.

What to wear at Berlin Fashionweek

It is Berlin fashion week summer 2010. The fashion scene gets dressed up. On Bebelplatz, the main square in front of the catwalk tent, I "stylechecked" some people who didn't look like try hards. More street style fashion you will see on monday and thursday on Hobnox or from July 25th on in the NRW Forum in Düsseldorf. There will be the exhibition "Catwalks". And did you see that Stylecheck is involving more and more media? We beat the iNterview and film with a HD Camera, a Nseries phone and take photos.

Little Boots, Lissy Trullie, Miss Li - bands with front women and a touch of 80's fashion are the big thing.
