Copenhagen – Lia and I went to Copenhagen for Fashion Week to finish up our SS12 order round and meet a couple of people. As usual the CIFF were great hosts and offered splendid services.

Prince or Michael Jackson?
Sorry, but I have to go for PRINCE! I kind of grew up with his music since my uncle had this one DVD of one of his concerts that I couldn’t stop watching for years.
Last weekend in Copenhagen I finally had the chance to see this legend live in concert at the NPG Festival. And as this wasn’t enough… it came in a double pack and no other than the legendary Chakka Khan was performing as well!. It might have been a little too much for me… I was out of words and I think a little paralyzed, cause I couldn’t really move or dance. I must have looked like my homie Daniel from Frankfurt when he’s trying to hit the dancefloor. Hahaha!
Let me hit you right away with this one:

The first MADE “Moments” project with Aloe Blacc x Miki x Jaybo has come to a proper salute with the release of all six songs that were exclusively performed that night at MADE. Of course, the videos include Aloe’s hit singles “I need a Dollar” and “Loving you is killing me”, but my personal favourite of the night definitely was “Mama hold my hand”. Teardrops, fellas, teardrops. Haha!
HERE all the videos are simply check below:

MELT Festival – And another first timer: My first Music Festival (can you believe it??) and my first time camping! Don’t know why, but never did.
So my man Benji really had to put in some work to convince me to go as I almost cancelled the trip, but somehow he managed to and I definitely don’t regret any minute. More than that, I really might be a festival guy!
Ok, ok, once a year is enough, but this experience was really great! Loved it. Thousands of people, great live music from all kinds of genres, good vibes and most of all this MELT location 1,5 hours outside of Berlin just blew me away!
It used to be an old mine and you still have these huuuuuge cranes standing and by night beautifully composed with lights and lasers. I was tripping.
And yes, of course, you have those nasty festival freaks and overly excited teenagers, but hey it’s fun. Really. And camping… best ever. I’m officially hooked.
First time building up a tent:

I love MCM! – Today opens the MCM satellite store in Torstrasse 114 in Berlin. I don’t know why, but somehow I always felt attracted to their iconic cognac all-over print.
The store will mainly carry their new backpacks and other accessories and you can be sure that I’ll be picking up my favourite item…

Pitti recap – I know way too late, but hey… what can you do.
The fair in Florence, Italy is becoming better and better in my eyes, especially for a younger segment even though the most interesting part of Pitti are the classic tailors and the old fashion houses which without a doubt produce the most elegant outfits.
Florence itself is super beautiful. A typical old Italian pitoresque city, the best food and people with style. You’re just going nuts over there.
Of course, we ran into the usual suspects… it’s funny to see always the same people in different settings.
At the show:

Paris recap – Yup, yup, it’s this time of the year again. Traveling, full days, short nights, brands, collections, budgets, maps, shows, trying to get a cap (!!)… but it’s also always like a big get-together. A reunion. Basically the whole market is there. You see all the brands, the people behind the brands, your friends, your “competitors”, the people you normally only read or write about and you meet a whole lot of different interesting people.
Shaking hands everywhere, smiling… but if you’re honest you always wonder: “I wonder how much money they make?”, “Which brand are they going for?”, “What kind of quantities do they order?”, “How the fuck do they survive?”, “Uuh, I heard it’s not going too well” or “Damn, they’re selling like crazy!”.
Or when it comes to brands: “Damn, that’s expensive!”, “Pff, really?” or (I know you know that one) “Shit, that’s ugly”.
Hahaha… love it. Love seeing everybody in Paris again, hanging, dining, partying, exchanging knowledge and experience. That’s what it’s all about. And in the end, if you break it all down, it’s a peoples business. And I’m happy to run along.
@Acne: Their set-up is really impressive. Professional from top to toe!
