MBFW Berlin

By Jody Marich
I arrived in Berlin on Saturday morning and up until now we have tried to get my press pass, but because I am classified as an intern I was not able to get a pass into the shows. My friend and host Sylvio, was able to because he is a director and producer, but he does not want to go. 

It's not going to get me down, I still had the chance to go inside and check out all the fun things that were about to happen. While I didn't take pictures inside, (I was trying to be professional), I do have some pictures of the outside venue where most of the shows will take place. 

Setting up for Fashion Week, Berlin, DE. 

A photo that will hang inside the venue.

My favorite photo: "Please excuse our appearance
 as we prepare for MBFW Berlin."

Sponsors of fashion week and more preparation. 

It's not a big venue, but it is long, for all those runways. 

Windows into the the show. 

Inside again. 

These next few pictures are from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's photos on Facebook. 

These are the girls I spoke with yesterday and today. I was right there, right before the picture was taken!

Hopefully I will get to see some of the action from the outside. Next year I know exactly what I need to bring and do. It's a learning experiece and I am glad that I had the chance to be inside and see the sights. 

Check out Berlin Fashion week starting tomorrow. 

F**k cocaine, let's get high on FASHION!

I arrived in Germany yesterday and I am staying in the outskirts of Berlin, in Potsdam. Such a cute town. After a day of jet lag, Gina and I went into Berlin to see some of the sights. To begin, it is a HUGE city. Absolutely dripping with history, culture and of course, fashion. Mercedes Benz Fashion Week starts next Wednesday, the 19th. As we were walking through the streets, we found the venue where MBFW will be taking place. While I did not get a press pass to the shows, Sylvio is still working on it for me as well as Bread and Butter. So fingers crossed, but if not, I will still be able to see a lot and be in the city while it's taking place. Here are some of the fashion highlights of today.
