Dear Shaded Viewers,
Over the past few years, the German capital has been pushing ahead, trying to assert a higher ranking in the European style stakes. While Berlin is already king of cool fro gallery galavanting, hardcore nightclubbing, the arts and indie retail therapy, it is now looking to get a little more official recognition from the global fashion industry. Last week, Berlin Fashion Week did its best to display a little bit of Teutonic pride on the catwalks. Here are some of the highlights:
