After another damn hot day at Bread & Butter Berlin, we headed to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week tent to see the  Lala Berlin Show. As I really like their collections and things they are doing, I enjoyed the show and the beautiful new collection.  (welt.de is offering a nice image gallery of the show - see here.) After the show, sweet Leylah from Lala Berlin invited us to join the small aftershow get-together at one of my abs favorite galleries in Germany, SevenStarGallery in Berlin-Mitte.

There we met our friend Nina, who proudly presented us a new viral spot she has been producing. It’s for the latest Olympus PEN camera which will be released in July - and which ranks first at my current personal wanna-have-wishlist!!! Such a great thing. I really have to show you Nina’s spot as it is absolutely amazing. It’s telling the PEN Story in stop motion and the production company shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. Beautiful thing, beautiful images, beautiful music. Enjoy!

While the last Fleamarket at Bread and Butter Barcelona in January was with a really bad offer a castatrophy in my eyes, the one now at the Tempelhof airfield is really accomplished. Lots of nice international streetwear stores like AZITA, Overkill, WOOD WOOD, Norse Project, LimitEDitions, Firmament, Reed Space, Sport & Street, Starcow und freshcotton selling lots of nice stuff at fair prices. You def should check out if you are around BBB.

First day at an incredibly hot & mad Berlin where everybody in this city seems to go crazy because of the Fashionweek and its hundreds (felt: thousands) of events, exhibitions and other “big things”. Bread and Butter Tradeshow at its new location, the old Tempelhof City Airport location is really impressive and was packed (!) the first day. We headed straight to Street Hall where me met lots of wellknown faces in the corridors and all the guys & girls from brands such as DRMTM Clothing, 667, Wemoto, Onitsuka Tiger and many more. After a short stopover at Obey Clothing Showroom in Berlin-Mitte we decided to keep it slow in the eve and not to get caught by the “you-have-to-be-there-and-there-and-everywhere-party-hopping-thing” and had a stopover at the presentation of the brand new, highly limited Asics Salmon and Butter sneakers  at Firmament store and let the eve end slowly at WESC Party at Bar25 - a perfect spot for this hot temperatures.

From today on, the guys from BRIGHT Tradeshow are offering an online preview of their brandnew BRIGHT MAGAZINE which will be distributed at the upcoming tradeshow in Frankfurt on July 11&12. The mag isn’t just the standard tradeshow guide, furthermore it provides “real” editorial content all around the BRIGHT exhibitors, partners & contributors and from the world of skateboarding, streetwear & culture. Just had a quick flip-through and already stumbled about the one or other well-known face. Will have a more detailled view at the printed issue. For now: Thumbs up - good job, ladies & gents.

Beautiful vid for a smooth start into the Monday: “Any Fun” by Coconut Records showing Jason, Mark Gonzales and friends skateboarding around NYC. (And I told you guys: These jackets Chloe Sevigny is wearing are coming back.) Video is directed by Mark Gonzales & edited by William Strobeck. Enjoy watching & listening. A good week for everybody.

Thx for finding Gen!

Today, we visited the Kicks’n'Cake Sneaker Market in Cologne. Even it was really small, we had fun, met lots of nice people, hang around at the Onitsuka Tiger booth, grapped the brandnew issue of “Sneakers” Mag (which I reallyreally can recommend - eyes on page 114!), fell in love with the upcoming Nike Sportswear Skinny Dunk Checker (which will be available at Cologne-based sneaker store The Good Will Out within the next few weeks), enjoyed the beautiful music (that compensated the at the end not-beautiful weather) and made cake-plans for the next Kicks’n'Cake Sneaker Market (because there was no cake). Just a few impressions here - caused of low-no-camera-battery.

Sorry for the less amount of posts within the last days. Let’s call it “the calm before the storm”: From next week on, we’ll provide you with the latest gossip & news from Berlin Fashionweek, BREAD&Butter & bright Tradeshow at this point. Stay tuned.

Herr von Eden going artsy-fartsy: The Hamburg based label collaborates with the Hamburger Kunstverein. Customers, who spend more than 1.000 Euro in their suits & stuff, get a one year free membership at the  Hamburger Kunstverein which also allows them to visit the events & exhibitions of other Kunstvereine in Germany for free. All members of the Hamburger Kunstverein on the other hand get 10% on purchases in Herr von Edens boutiques in Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin & Munich. Nice idea & concept.

On Saturday, Jues Store again comes up with something nice for ears & eyes: Within their “shop-window-tour”, German band FRIDA will perform live at Jues shop windows. If you want a pre-listening, check out FRIDAs MySpace page - I like! On top: Cold beer for free & 30% on Jues streetwear stuff from 11.00 - 16.00. See you there guys.
