The exhibition 'Wool Modern' is stopping over in Berlin. From 4. until 15. October Galeria Kaufhof on Berlin's Alexanderplatz will be all about wool.

This Thursday from 6pm the first solo exhibition by illustration talent Sarah Illenberger will be on show at the Gestalten Space in Berlin. Instead of pencil and graphics pad the Berlin-based graphic designer works with simple materials and everyday objects like paper, wood, paper clips or even food, cutting them up and sticking them back together, or rearranging them.

With its newly launched ‘Midnight Collection’ the Dutch denim label G-Star Raw is offering evening wear that experiments with unusual silhouettes and material combinations and creates a style that is perfect for a night out, but not too fancy at the same time.

Two legends come together – the British soul singer Amy Winehouse designed a clothing line for street fashion label Fred Perry, which despite the singer’s tragic recent death, will be launched this autumn. The garments can be purchased in the Fred Perry online shop.
