La singolarità del Bread & Butter di Berlino sta nel suo essere un'esperienza. Qui, all'aeroporto di Berlin-Tempelhof, la street fashion si presenta in tutte le sue sfumature e non si tratta solo di "moda". Tutto contribuisce ad una resa up-to-date: la spettacolarità degli allestimenti, la gente, la musica e i must have da scoprire camminando tra gli stand della fiera. Il tema di Bread & ...

You can almost imagine the death knell ringing, ushering the deceased, with Vladimir Karaleev's collection for MBFW 2011. This Bulgarian designer rejects traditional cuts and presents geometric silhouettes with an underlying theme of gravity, or perhaps a seriousness of life. Karaleev softens the darkness with muted blues, olive greens, and pale browns. The garments fall from shoulders and slowly tear and shroud the body. Even the pace of the catwalk is reduced, the models pacing with the despondent lurch of a priestly procession from the dark ages. An independent and unique designer amongst the others this year.
We witness a german winter and yet the onset of spring with this year's show from Plauener Spitze in collaboration with Irene Luft. Or perhaps a contemporary take on Natoire's "Le Reveille de Venus"? Transparency and opacity intersect as the designers play a hide and seek game with the primary use of lace. The absolute lack of color in the presentation - with arguable exceptions of warm grays - forces the designs to rely entirely on the relationship between design and an intimacy to the human body, fabric versus nudity, darkness versus breathable airiness, indeed a contradiction at play. A concise yet elegant presentation!

On Sunday, 25 April, there was a "Farbattacke" at Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin. "At each of the four junction sites has been drained over the pedestrian crossing color, bright red, yellow, blue and purple, the rest have done bikes, cars and pedestrians," says "mg" at Just.
Maybe Guerilla marketing? This is indicated a) "Some" suspicious "looking onlookers with larger cameras," b) the choice of location (from the window of your favorite cafes in the digital Bhoème St. Oberholz can see the intersection and blogging the event almost live), c) fact that "only" indelible paint was used, d) there was no outing of an artist, and e) the similar campaigns by Sony (Bravia) and BMW. Let's see who's really behind it ...
