German Designer Commemorates The Fall Of The Berlin Wall
To help commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Cold War barrier’s fall, star designer Daniel Roden has created a new clothing collection that was inspired by the Berlin War theme complete with leather dresses and popular men’s art designs from the East Side Gallery.
The stunning Gallery is the east side stretch of the wall which represents the art of 21 countries who sent 118 artists to paint the long 1,300 meter stretch back in 1990. While the art is graffiti styled, the works have become popularly the physical representation of the Berlin wall.
The clothing pieces represent different paintings on the wall such as a slim revealing dress that contains the image of the ‘Trabi’, a popular German automobile. On the dress it is breaking through the Berlin Wall.
Roden said that the event was challenging as it was a switch from celebrity fashion to pop art inspired clothing, but that it was stimulating to complete. Some of his other designs include a fashion accessory to the clothing line that featured leather sewn to resemble barbed wire.
All of the outfits that are modeled at the event will be also worn at celebratory events before they are auctioned to raise money for charity after the celebrations end on November 9th.
Cabaret artist Chin Meyer from Berlin commented at the opening of the event that it is nice that enough time has passed to address the Berlin Wall as a side of history with acceptance and light laughter instead of as a painful and bitter memory. The festival will end at the Brandenburg Gate with the Festival of Freedom and will include the symbolic toppling of over a thousand giant dominos.

Plus, the designer Klein line also has you covered with every and any accessory that you may need to complete your day at the beach including cover-ups, pareos, bags, and fabulous sunglasses that will place you right on par with Fergie.
One thing that is appealing about the Klein line this year is that it is not so much about bling-bling or barely-there choices; instead the line is mostly current but minimalistic letting your body lends its shape and touch to most of the line.
Even better, curvy is in this year as most of the models are a bit thicker for the Klein line giving normal people a chance at looking great as they should.
Additionally, as always the Calvin Klein swimwear is made at the same high quality of every piece of clothing on the line, so you know you are getting a product that will be around for some time.
London Fashion Week Set For September
The London Fashion Week is provisionally scheduled to be held at Somerset House, during the third week of September. The beautiful and elegant ambiance of the venue is sure to complement the fashion on the ramp.
September 2009 is expected to be a make or break for the London Fashion Week and the Spring/Summer collection. Leading fashion retailers know that despite the global economic downturn, there is still a hard-core market out there for exciting new fashion ideas. Marketing aggressively, innovating designs and constantly updating window displays are just some of the techniques that retailers have adopted to continue attracting customers.
In the fashion calendar, the London Fashion Week follows the New York Fashion Week and is followed by Milan and Paris. The bi-annual event is a must-see for all fashion enthusiasts. The fashion press as well as other prominent people in the industry will be jostling for positions to catch the first glimpse of the outfits that will adorn store-windows this season.
People outside of Trade and Press who wish to see catwalk shows can do so by invitation from the featured designers. More than 200 local as well as international fashion designers and fashion accessory designers are expected to be showcased during the week-long event. All exhibited works will be kept under tight wraps until they are premiered during the show.
For the average fashion enthusiast, what is perhaps even more exciting than the London Fashion Week is the London Fashion Weekend. During the Weekend, people can get up close and personal with the celebrities and buy outfits from the top labels at discounted prices. Beauty and fashion experts are also at hand during the event to give invaluable advice and tips.
