It`s those who don`t officially announce sex on the toilets or greet in the red carpet camera flashes who make Berlin an awesome fashion spot. Time to glance at the aspiring onces who showed in the off-spots at Berlin Fashionweek.vonBardonitz, a label runned by 25-years old Nicole Roscher caught my attention as well in the Projektgalerie Showroom as at the HBC Couture Show, an off-event in the context of Berlin Fashionweek.

The quiet guy brought noise to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Last season, Patrick Mohr let the homeless run the way, this year, he called the he bodybuilder friends of DJ Hell to set up the stage called catwalk.

Brought by pushcart, the models gave a bizarre look with fake hair, breasts and teeth and clothes made of plastic and stunt kites. Boulevard called him Enfant Terrible and titled Freakshow, but at the end of the day Patrick Mohr is neither a fool, nor a fashionisto provocateur – he`s just a fashion designer who goes for rectangles and quadrangles and created simple T-Shirts, tops, jeans, pants and glasses so far.

Unisex. Unobtrusive. Highly wearable. And…surprise, surprise…payable.

Showtime seems to be his into-the-face tool to push the name, while businesstime is about fairness and service. Buyers praise his quality, prizing and ordering options, customers love his moderate price segment. Neither a freak, nor a fool, but a great entertainer and label to wear – This is Patrick Mohr.

Some days ago, i was talking to a friend about how Patrik Budenz impressed me by visually broaching the issue of death. This friend didn`t even have a look at the photos. Instead, he gave me the feeling to be morbid while saying he doesn`t want to talk about death and no matter how interesting the photo documentation might be, he will not like it. Today, this friend mourns because a loved one died one year ago and he fears with some buddy who might have a serious disease because of unhealthy lifestyle. This all came up today. While i was able to understand the ritus of  “drinking a shot together” to remind the death friend, i didn`t understand at all the “making-the-others-pre-griefing” words by this sick friend who is pretty alive at the moment.  At least so alive that he could write pathetic emails which provoce pathetic reactions.

If it`s today or tomorrow, next week or last month, Pieter is my daily requirement and one of my favorite  fashion bloggers although he probably might consider this as insult because he`s definitely not a fashion geek, but a design-art-culture-technology one, who often flicks a fashion segment i am interested in. This time, he was the early bird with the new Bless glasses which happily lost their toooftenseeneverywherearefringes-look. For summer 2010, the fabulous Bless-woman offer this photoprinted-perforated shit and i go for it. More here: Bless No. 39 “Heart Ringers”
