During a Berlin May that felt more like October, the question arose of how to dress in weather that changes from day to day, the answer; better to be prepared.

From place to place in Berlin during Fashion Week means trade shows and designer runway collections. It is a lot to take in. Here are the highlights.
I kept it simple today so I went to only 2 locations in one day during Berlin Fashion Week. First stop, Premium and then to Karl Lagerfeld Store for a book signing by Stacey Caldwel and Ajiri A. Aki in the Mitte Store.
Behind the glamour of a runway show there are teams of artists hard at work putting it all together.
We managed to get behind the scenes at Dimitri Show during Fashion Week in Berlin. Seeing models, hair stylists, make up artists, dressers, and stylists at work making it all happen before the ladies hit the runway.

Collections we liked from London Fashion Week
Felder Felder looks were shiny then moved on short skirts with prints.
Gareth Pugh went for red then moved to black this season with a collection that was fun if not a bit over the top.
Burberry Prorsum moved into the future with cut outs, mini dresses, and the signature dress coat and laces. The collection lived up the hype.
KTZ went super tribal and sexy but if you take away the over sized ear and nose rings the looks were sleek.
Osman with gaucho inspired looks complete with hats.
David Koma went with hemlines above the knee along with folded strips around the body.
Marques ‘Almeida was daring with ruffles and tearing apart pieces for a complete look.
Toga had a complex collection with many details.
Christopher Kane gets a mention for the neon colors and shapes.
My overall impression of London Fashion Week was a bit underwhelming. There were many great looks and good collections but the spark was missing this season.
