The US-American sneaker label KangaROOS is on the lookout for new talent. That's why students from the German College of Footwear Design in Pirmasens are getting the chance to design a shoe for the label's Red Line. Since mid-August the young designers have been busy designing their Low Cut and Mid Cut sneakers.

The fact that Adidas has a lot more to offer than traditional sportswear is being demonstrated once again in the new pop-up store in Paris. The Adidas SLVR line is showing its new men's collection for autumn/winter 2011/2012 in the Galeries Lafayette Homme. From 22. August until 10. September you can admire and buy the purist, modern and, at the same time, functional clothes.

From today a cheerful Hermès parade in the shop window of Berlin's KaDeWe will be brightening the shoppers' day on their way to the main entrance. Designer Sarah Illenberger, whose work can also be admired in the Gestalten Space, sets the traditional Hermès icons in scene with humour and a lot of creativity.

Musik gehört zum Leben, wie die Luft zum Atmen. Gerade in unserem aktiven Leben läuft mit dem passenden Sound vieles leichter.

If you're in Berlin at the moment you should drop in to the new Andreas Murkudis store in Potsdamer Straße 81 E in Berlin Tiergarten tomorrow from 2pm. Parallel to the "Lemke" exhibition by German artist Jürgen Partenheimer in the Mies van der Rohe Haus, Murkudis is exhibiting six objects by the artist, produced in cooperation with the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory.

Since the mid-eighties Maison Martin Margiela has been producing a limited edition charity AIDS T-shirt. The colours and the contrasting typo change each season – but the motto of the T-shirt remains the same: “THERE IS MORE ACTION TO BE DONE TO FIGHT AIDS THAN TO WEAR THIS T-SHIRT BUT IT’S A GOOD START”.

A classic from the house of Pumais being reinterpreted. The French designer Sakina M’sa will be adding new pep to the tried-and-tested Grip Bag. The bag has been a loyal companion to anyone who does sport for the past 60 years. For the unisex model, Sakina M'sa is using her trademark “Bleu de Travail” , a classic robust blue material worn by workers, as well as top quality leather for the handles and appliqués.
