THE FASHION WEEK FINISHES AT FIN

As the traditional closing party, the FIN is the ultimate proof that the Berlin Fashion Week really is over. This year, for the fifth time, the end of the event will be celebrated on the Saturday, attended by the city’s fashionistas and design debutantes. Anyone who has anything to do with the fashion circus shows up here to put the week to bed. FIN is organized by the Fashion Week daily DERZEIT and nothing is left to chance: it’s a sure thing that the designers, models, photographers, stylists and fashion people of all types and hypes will be heating up the dance floor and burning up every last ounce of energy until the sun rises – when they can finally fall into the waiting taxis and head home. A Berlin Fashion Week original, and not to be missed!

Celebrate the end of Berlin Fashion Week at the FIN Closing Party at the KTV Club. Check in on foursquare on January 21st, 2012, to score a place on the guest list!

DOWNTIME AT THE NOMORESLEEP CAFÉ

It’s not easy to find a calm eye in the storm of activity raging around central Berlin. Last year the offices of the former creative agency NoMoreSleep (friends of friends) were converted into a coffee shop – in tandem with the guys from the Berlin startup coffee label Mykona. Ever since, NoMoreSleep has been an oasis for rest and relaxation in the German capital, a safe and peaceful haven to sip your cappuccino – or the more “now” alternative, a cup of the freshly filtered brew. People-watching is part of the total package: the café is situated on one of Berlin’s hip boulevards, so you can safely watch the hustle and bustle from your seat behind the picture windows. And if that’s still too much action, take refuge in the secluded rear courtyard (unfortunately not really a winter option).

HUGO BOSS and „No more sleep“ make sure you get your daily dose of caffeine during Fashion Week! Check in with us on foursquare to receive a coffee for 2,20 € & a special HUGO bracelet for free!

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE HUGO MENSWEAR FITTING

“Ladies first!” – this basic rule also applies to the fitting procedure. So yesterday, one day after the womenswear fitting, we started with the gentlemen. Bart de Backer, Senior Head of Creative Management HUGO Menswear, and stylist Kim Grenaa decided on the menswear looks for the HUGO Fashion Show Fall/Winter 2012. From the pictures you can guess that the soft tobacco color will play a major role in the collection… but it’s only a guess and we won’t know for sure until the HUGO Fashion Show starts and the Fall/Winter looks for 2012 are shown on the runway. So be sure to watch the live stream of the show and keep an eye out for our two fitting models William Eustace and Oliver Greb as they will also be walking the show!

HUGO WOMENSWEAR FITTING

Yesterday, all creative minds of the HUGO brand met up in the HUGO Showroom for the HUGO Womenswear fitting for the upcoming HUGO Fashion Show. Of course, I sneaked in to shoot some behind the scenes photos for you guys (you can see more on instagram and twitter). Everything went smoothly and Eyan Allen, Creative and Brand Director Womenswear, and stylist /HUGO Blog editor Kim Grenaa were happy with every single look. Eyan even took out his sketchbook and quickly designed a skirt to replace one look’s trousers on the spur of a moment. Kim and Eyan will also be giving interviews before the show, so be sure to watch the live stream here on the HUGO Blog starting at 01:30 p.m. (CET) on January 19, 2012.

Everybody, who entered the HUGO Showroom yesterday instantly fell in love with the new HUGO collection for Fall/Winter 2012 and on January 19, 2012, you’ll see for yourself! But for now, take a look behind the scenes:
