Berlin is “arm aber sexy” (“poor but sexy,” our mayor’s most famous quote), but also working hard to become a fashion capital. Berlin Fashion Week highlights both established and up-and-coming Berlin-based and German designers at shows and parties. The main stage is at historic and beautiful Bebelplatz, where models strut the stuff of Berlin-based designers like Lac et Mel (Jan 29, 15:00), Lala Berlin (Jan 29, 13:00), or Scherer González (Jan 31, 15:00). Check their website for the full schedule.
