As I exit the extraordinarily plush Hotel de Rome in Berlin — I’ve just finished up interviewing a Very Important Celebrity — I overhear a hotel attendant remark that the weather outside is, “Just a friendly Berlin rain, to let you know you’re still in Germany.” Indeed, the sky is a particularly brooding shade of […]

The post Dispatch From Berlin: Eclectic Vibes at Marc Cain’s Fall 2019 Show appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

I was in Berlin for Marc Cain’s fall runway show when the prettiest pastel pink invitation was delivered to my hotel room. Written across the invite in loopy cursive letters was the evening’s theme: Ballet Magnifique. That night, from my seat in the front row, I could see a display of black tulle skirts and […]

When the prettiest, pale pink invitation arrived at my hotel room in Berlin, I had a feeling Marc Cain’s fall collection would be peppered with the hue-du-jour. What I didn’t expect was all the ways that a dancer’s wardrobe would be worked into the show. A canopy of tutus and pointe shoes hung from the […]

Any Berliner worth their passport will tell you that their native city takes many other things more seriously (72-hour stretches of clubbing, for example) than fashion. This notion is mostly upheld, if only from a practical point-of-view—the girls wear flats, and the boys never wear plaid. But, with each edition of Berlin Fashion Week, it appears that the city has become a little more comfortable with its power on the runway. Still relatively-new in its 14th season, the Berlin tents have become a breeding ground for a cool, calm, and, above all else, considerate style ideology, edging out other Mercedes Benz-run weeks (except New York, duh), as a top contender for international glory.

The first round of Fall 2014 shows welcomed 50 designers from across Northern Europe, and, even more exciting were the 11 debuts alone, from a young newcomer who received orders from Lady Gaga, like, five minutes ago, and a Russian sartorial empress-in-the-making who has already dressed Naomi Campbell. The potential for breakout success is palatable, with well-heeled Anglos like Georgia May Jagger and Elizabeth Hurley spotted front row. And while all these street style blogs like to portray Berlin as the city of dark, unapologetic black and slouchy fits (which, fine, it is), there’s also an emerging, beautiful trend toward elegance and opulence to be found that is anti-Berlin indeed, but echoes back to Germany’s golden Enlightenment era—you know, pre-1914. Here’s 10 of our favourite moments and designer picks from Berlin Fashion Week’s Fall 2014 shows.

Our second batch of street style from Berlin Fashion Week Fall 2014 proves that while the city isn’t yet a spot for the mainstream fashion flock, it delivers on some seriously great photos.

Tempting us with the idea of booking a flight stat, Toronto-based photographer Jaclyn Locke captured the candidly stylish outside the final days of the shows. Round two features a bit of hip-hop flair courtesy of one showgoer sporting a San Francisco snapback, an oversized fur and a Lanvin “Love” necklace. Another took a cue from the very pregnant Kerry Washington at this weekend’s SAG Awards, sporting a baby bump underneath a bright emerald coat.

You know what they say, “It’s always next season somewhere!” Actually, no one says that, but it does feel like fashion week is on one never-ending loop. The latest city to ride the carousel of great street style is Berlin, where the Euro crowd has gathered to take in the first round of Fall 2014. The historic Brandenburg Gate makes for the perfect backdrop of this batch of Berlin Fashion Week shots by Toronto-based photographer Jaclyn Locke, who captured the ladies, gents, peacocks and one apparent living Cabbage Patch Kid doll (seriously that hair is some crazy ish).
