Cage Fighter Time!

First brought to my attention by SusieBubble, looking so cute with her interpretation, "Body Cages" have been spotted on both couture and pret-a-porter runways.
For Berlin Fashion week, Karstadt New Generation Award provided spectators with a looser, much softer version similar to Jean Paul Gaultier "Body Cage." Between the two I say I can't decide which I like more. JPG's has a defined silhouette which I quite like, but the one from KNGA looks so comfortable. Plus to have the body cage at all provides structure, so is JPG's too strict?

Now I can look like a cage fighter wherever I go.

Anyway, so far I've been more into the menswear at Berlin Fashion Week then the womenswear, especially Michalsky's. Or maybe thats just because the cute models are confusing my judgement.

Looking over Berlin

"Berlin is the world center of the arts."

A concert pianist once told me that.

I have yet to fully mull over Berlin Fashion Week 2008/2009, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. There was alot of streetwear when I was really hankering for some concept designs. It felt like a repeat of trends already seen. Many of the designs were fun and bright, perfect for summer. But I don't know if they reflected the musician's high praise. I feel like there must be this vast array of talent that didn't have a chance to be seen. Surely there are designers that weren't a part of the "Mercedes Fashion Week" that did not get to have the same coverage.
Who knows, maybe they were as tired of the sponsors as I was.
I hate how there was an "Olympus" Fashion Week, and and "Mercedes" one. But I guess if this allows for the shows and the hardwork to be seen, I guess its worth it...

Sorry about the rant :P

Berlin Prints

Berlin Fashion week continued, with C. Neeon showing off the geometric print.

I think its a cool trend, following the whole 80's route. But I am wary of the extremes, which is where all trends go before they die. In truth the geo print is groovy, but I prefer it to be paired down a bit; partly because they tend to make me zone out.
