What I’m Wearing: Vintage Cape
It’s been over a year since I shopped on eBay, so I’m not quite sure why I decided to trawl its pages last month. I’m glad I did though, as I spotted this amazing vintage (“second hand”, my mam would say) cape buried among all the rubbish. Since winter has finally arrived in Berlin, I’m finding capes a godsend with so much space to add layer upon layer underneath – particularly important when you go for a stroll ON a frozen canal, as I did for this shoot.
Buying this was a bit of a gamble, as the seller’s photos were terrible (surprise, surprise) but the gorgeous white fur foxtail details, reminiscent of Alexander Wang, made this a risk worth taking. The seller wouldn’t post to Germany because so many customers had complained about customs hold-ups, so I had to get the cape shipped to my parents in the UK and THEN posted to me…yeah I know, I’m a fashion slave but I’m a warm one at least!

[…] 5) They are punctual. It’s in their genetic make up. 6) Their babies are particularly beautiful. 7) They are very good bike riders – nay, they are exceptional bike riders. They manage to look elegant whilst freewheeling down cobbled streets, pashminas blowing out behind them. They are also highly adept at riding with umbrellas. 8) Germans can eat. And drink. A lot. Regularly. 9) They love meat. In all its incarnations. 10) They are good at mostly anything they do. Or, if they’re not, they try hard and become good at it. Because … 11) Germans are thorough. They work hard and effectively (despite working some of the shortest hours in the Western world). This is why … 12) They are the strongest economy in Europe. What they do during those short hours is probably double what every other country manages to do in twice the time. 13) They speak English better than most English people I know. 14) They have unexpectedly wicked senses of humour. David Hasselhoff, anyone … 15) … a man they continue to embrace by playing “Looking for Freedom” far, far more than any other country. 16) They love a good boot. […]

What I'm Wearing
So you may have noticed that pictures of James and I rarely pop up on überlin. James hates his picture being taken (I dont know why with a mug like his!?) and I guess I love working behind the camera too much to waste time being in front of it. But recently I’ve had a few requests (OK one!) to show more outfit posts, so in a bid to get me out of my usual freelancers outfit of grubby jogging bottoms and toothpaste splattered t-shirts here goes nothing. Work it girlfriend!

Hien Le’s Berlin Fashion Week, Part One
During Berlin Fashion Week we followed local designer Hien Le as he prepared for his catwalk show and the final of the Start Your Own Fashion Business competition. Our three-part story for NPR starts in Hien’s Kreuzberg studio, where he explains how he incorporates influences from his birthplace of Laos into the “really clean, simple and minimalistic” aesthetic that already caught the attention of industry insiders at last year’s Fashion Week. Read part one of our article over on NPR’s Berlin Stories, and scroll down to see more behind-the-scenes photos. Part two coming soon!
